On my way leaving the Purcellville cruise in with the NVMC guys I passed a black MM on rte 7 with it's foglights on. It was around 8pm I'd say.
I must admit, sadly, that when you crested the hill I was actually for a split second going "woah what is that" until realized I was staring at another Marauder. :)
You probably saw me too, same color, foglights on - I flashed my brights in the std. "Hello" fashion.
Didn't notice any other MM's at that show though, most likely most everyone was in Baltimore. :)

Yeah that was me. I actually had the same reaction when I came over the hill, i wasn't expecting to see another Marauder, not on the old Rt 7.
I didn't get a chance to flash my lights but I waved, don't know if you saw that. I was on my way back home (in Purcellville) from Leesburg and I missed the Cruise-in. How was it?

Cool! Yeah, I was surprised when you crested the hill.
The show was pretty good, it was a bit hot out for most of the day, but cooled off a bit towards the end. Plenty of cars there, lots of people.

Great! Yeah I'm upset I missed that show because I live in P'ville and Franklin Farm is only a mile from my house.
I really haven't seen another Marauder on the road driving towards me, but DAMN they look awesome! Let me know if you're ever in the Leesburg/Purcellville area that's where I live.
I work in Herndon as well, if there's ever a meet-up after work. Speaking of which, do any of the NoVA CAMmers go to the Chik-fil-A near Dulles Town Center on Friday nights? i used to take my Cougar there and it was a good turnout of classic and muscle cars. If anyone from here shows up, let me know. I'll join you.

Word on the street is that there may be a new cruise night in Kingstowne / Springfield / Alexandria area soon, probably also on Friday nights.
Not to compete with other places, but Sterling is a bit of a hike from this end of town on a Friday afternoon-rush-hour. :)
The details are in process...more soon.

My contacts tell me that something might be in the works with PW Cruisers for the area near the Silver Diner at Springfield Mall. This might be a supplement to the weekly Friday night cruise-in at BJ's down in Prince William. Seems some of the more northerly folks are having trouble making the trip down I-95 on Friday nights to get to BJs and PWC. :rolleyes: This is news to folks in this area ?????? --- I've been making that trip daily since 1989. :( It was bad then and hasn't improved with age.

Yeah it seems going ANYWHERE on a friday-night is a hassle. But i don't think it matters if you do it every once in a while...
