This stereo crap and the guys (gals) that think their Nissan with a Folgers fart can exhaust at 6k RPM sounds great were significant reasons I started a European Sport car only show 5 years ago. It starts at 9:00 AM on Sunday mornings. The day of the week and start time weeds out a lot of the riff raff and the regular attendees generally aren't inclined to partake in such antics. More often than not, we literally stand around, drink coffee and discuss cars.

Here are a few shots from last week's gathering; 75 cars that including a ton of 911's, a Dino, a Muira and Countach and 5k mile Testarossa. A couple Nobles, a few Aston's, Lotuses and smattering of Audis and BMW's too. I asked one younger attendee with a stripped-down 328 IS to please "be cool" when leaving. He obliged . We tell the non-euro's that have to park outside the line up in the perimeter lots. They oblige as well. Not saying I have it all figured out, I still worry that someone is going to be a total a55-hat, but when you state the rules up front and enforce them, it is seems to work out more often than not.
