DC Auto Show?

LINK

I'm thinking about going on Friday afternoon (print out any page from autotrader.com to get $4 off admission). I'll probably ride the metro in from work.

I plan on taking a buttload of pictures and leaving my fingerprints all over a clubman. Maybe I'll see some of you there.

I thought it was right after Christmas, so I assumed I had missed it. I'll definitely go too!

Saturday for me - at work all week so will not get chance to go earlier...

Was there last in 06, but missed last year after being in the UK. Will be cool to see the clubman again after seeing a boat load of them in the UK over christmas

I'm not exactly sure when I'm going yet, but it will almost certainly be on the weekend, despite having to deal with the crowds.

If you're going to go.. DO NOT go Friday, Saturday or Sunday the center will be bursting with families and strollers. We're predicting to have 200,000 people in two days (Saturday and Sunday)

What time do the Thursday crew plan to be there?

I plan to be there early so there won't be too many people around and have lunch there.

I changed my mind. I'm coming on Thursday so I don't have to deal with the crowds on Saturday. Probably won't be there till 11.

Due to Paul's work schedule, we're going to go late this afternoon. It's the only time he can get away in the next few days....
