370 or 380 cars were registered at the show. So close to 400 cars. Suprisingly a lot of euro cars, most of them VWs, BMWs, and Audi.

Great show; however being a show of their caliber on the westcoast it should have been even a bigger turnout.

Good job! I know what it feels like to be recognized for the hard work we do to keep our machines in good shape. I took first at the MBCA show and shine, Seattle Section last year with my SL55 and this year with my E55.
