Default \\\2010 Euro Philly Cheesesteak Run Pictures and writeup///

Since our Philly Cheesesteak Run was so big last year, we decided to break it into smaller groups to prevent it from getting out of hand (last year we had over 300 cars, and it was pouring down rain) so for this one we kept it to just Euros. We had around 100 cars come from MD, VA, PA, NJ, NY, and CT. It was over 100 degrees, and I know that kept a lot of people at home. If it weren't so hot, I think we could have easily had around 200 cars come out.

For the full set of photos, click here: Chris Walsh Photography on flickr

We first met in Rockville, MD. Probably had around 25-30 cars. I didn't take too many pictures because I was too busy mingling with everyone lol. Once we got on the road, we were rolling deep.

You can see a little glare in this pic because the windows were up. I was riding in a comfortable air conditioned E92 335i, there was no way I was going to roll down the windows and let that 100 degree heat inside the car.



Since we all got separated at the toll, we decided to regroup at the Maryland House rest stop to hit the bathrooms and let the engines cool off. Shortly after pulling in, a State Trooper pulled in and said we needed to relax because they had gotten around 100 calls from motorists reporting a bunch of German sports cars flying down the highway.

I'm sure that number is quite an exaggeration.

Another Supercharged E36







This was the only car to get pulled over on the drive up. Turns out he only got a ticket for no front plate. Could have been a lot worse.



After a short break, we were back on the road towards Philly.



Crossing the Shenandoah River Bridge





The fun didn't last too long before we ran into some major traffic. It was mostly stop & go for a good portion of the rest of the drive.



The roads cleared up a little bit in Delaware and we were able to have some fun

Back in stop & go traffic...





Arriving in South Philly





As we pulled into the parking lot about 45 minutes later than we were planning, due to the major traffic delays on I-95, there were about 50 cars already there. While some parked their cars and went straight in line for a cheesesteak, I walked around and got pictures of the cars in the parking lot.































Since it was blazing hot, we didn't stay up there too long but hopefully we'll plan another one when the weather's a little cooler.
