It's been 6 months since our last local "Meet and Drive" and folks have been asking... so the next one will be on 10/9/11 at 10am at the usual spot, the Rockville, MD Starbucks at the corner of Rockville Pike and Old Georgetown Rd in front of the Toys R Us. (11802 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852). Sorry if that date doesn't work for some of you - it's tough to pick one that everyone can make.

What is a "Meet and Drive"? We usually meet and chat in the parking lot starting at 10am till 11:20 or so, then take a spirited 1 hr drive to a lunch spot somewhere in the area. The lunch spot this time will be the new "Urban BBQ Company" at 805 Old Sandy Spring RD - Sandy Spring, MD. - (301) 570-3663. They have great options for vegetarians, as well.

You can show up for the "Meet" only, or do the "Meet and Drive" and not the lunch, or do all 3.

Please let me know if you're coming so we can get a tentative idea of the turnout. The restaurant doesn't take reservations but at 1230pm on a Sunday we should have no problem with us all getting tables quickly.

Reviews: 11/28/10 I have only come here for takeout and catering, but this weekend we decided to grab a table and eat in. The dining area makes the Olney location unique from Rockville and Silver Spring, where you just order at the counter and serve yourself. When I walk into restaurants and see primarily teens waiting tables I prepare myself for mediocre or bad service. However Olney Urban BBQ really impressed me. Not only was my server extremely friendly and attentive, but I noticed that many of the servers were taking pride in their work and seemed to enjoy working there. I will keep coming back, not only for the great food but also the great staff!

1/29/10 Fantastic barbeque and burgers. We're lucky to have this in Sandy Spring.

6/14/10 I have stopped attempting to make brisket after ubq did it so well. The sides distinguish a Bbq joint. Ubq has great beans.

10/25/10 We stopped to eat here since a friend had noticed it a few days before while driving by. The atmosphere is everything you'd expect. I got the 2 meat platter (chicken and brisket) which came with a side (mac n cheese) and finished it off with a Dominion Root Beer. I was excited to see that the root beer DID come out of a tap, instead of the soda machine. We sat outside on some newly installed picnic benches to eat in the early evening sun. I'm not frequently in Olney, but if I were, I'd make this a regular spot. Good food, staff that remember your name, outdoor seating, and a nice bar area too.

2/4/11 So delicious! Everything is reasonably priced with generous portions. Excellent BBQ flavors and I loved that they had the different styles of BBQ sauce at the table. They have a ton of micro-breweries on tap which was a pleasant surprise! The sides where fresh and just the right size. Our waitress was so nice and personable which totally made our experience that much better! The overall appearance and feel of the restaurant is laid-back but fun! Has the potential to be a regular spot!

Yeah!!! I tried to pick a Sunday where there didn't seem to be a million activities going on in the Porsche world. Looking forward to seeing some folks that day. Maybe we'll even get a Carrera GT and Panamera owner this time... I always put the invite on their boards yet no one has ever responded or come - yet.

P-daddy

Steve, how was the turn out last time? We were on vacation.

Hi, I became a rookie Porsche owner 4 months ago. I am looking forward to meet everyone there and show you the car I brought back from Chicago.

I might be able to make this one, and it would be nice to see another Aventurine in the mix.

I will try and make this one.... because a few weeks later I will be taking my 993 down to it's new home in Florida as I am getting closer and closer to semi-retirement.

Bummer, a change of schedule is requiring me to take the P-car to Florida in September...

Have fun!!!!

According to Yahoo Weather today it's supposed to be Mostly Sunny and in the 80's with a 0% chance of rain this Sunday the 9th for the "Meet and Drive" in Rockville. If that really happens, we're in for a treat weather-wise.



See you folks soon,

I won't be able to make it as my alternator died last night.
