Coming up on Saturday, May 3rd will be another huge car meet on the campus of UMD-College Park. Named the <i>College Park Car Meet II</i>, it draws car enthusiasts from the entire DC/MD/VA area. The first show brought about 250-350 cars of all types. It will run from 1 PM through evening in Lot 4b of the University of Maryland-College Park campus. Sponsored by the <a href="http://www.terrapinmotorsports.tk/">Terrapin Motorsports Club of UMD</a>.
With a repeat performance of last years huge turnout to the UMD Car Show, we'll be caravaning to UMD from Rockville Starbucks. Organizers expect more cars than last year, so the Audis are being given reserved parking in order to accommodate us. We'll be meeting up at the Rockville Starbucks at Noon, and leaving around 12:30 pm to make College Park before 1 PM. If you can't make it to Starbucks in time, directions to the meet at in <a href="http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=820537">this post</a> by one of the organizers.

<b>Things to note...</b>
-Clean cars look better than dirty ones. We'll hold a car wash on Friday afternoon and maybe also Saturday morning if you need a place to wash your car.
-Several plans are in the works for things to do after the show, including a night drive, a party at College Park, and bars in College Park/DC.
-We'll be having people driving down from PA and upper MD to the Starbucks, so be sure to welcome the new faces.

Thanks,
Roger-Driving the 90CS

how many Audi's expected? ..didn't go last year, am this year, lots of crap cars?

CapitalAudi

So we're talking 45 MR-2's, 40 Maximas, (these 2 directly quoted) equal numbers of BMW's and VW's, along with the usual Japanese cars... We had about 15 Audis last year, working to increase that this time since there shouldn't be anything conflicting with it this time around (Last time it was drizzling in the morning and there was a lift day at Rockville Audi) Expect more cars than last time... (Not the panorama shot) and you'll have an idea of what it will be like. There will also be more exotic cars... last year we had our share of them... 911 Turbos, Viper, etc...
