Monterey/Pebble Beach
Heading out in a couple of days for a great car vacation, the Monterey festivities and the Pebble Beach Concours de'Elegance. Anybody else going to be there? I know there is a Porsche Werks reunion this coming Friday, and I plan to attend in the afternoon. Any other good Porsche parties?
I will be with friends from my old haunt in Montana; and they are taking their Pantera. I am going to some of the Italian car events, but would like to know of good Porsche events.

I am really getting stoked for Monterey. Some very fine cars up for auction at Russo and Steele. I'm particularly fond of the Jag E types lately. There are three or four of them coming across the block. If nothing else the auctions are a great place to see cars up close.

Used to go every year (lived in Santa Cruz and then in SF).
Last time I went was '98 for the Fiftieth anniversary of Porsche. The hotel price gouging was unbelievable.
There are very few routes between venues in Monterey - and any attempt to go anywhere was met with gridlock. Granted, it was a gridlock of Ferrari's, Maserati's, Lamborghini's, Bentley's and Porsche's among other exotics, but it was still gridlock.
I know it's the curmudgeon in me, but as Yogi Berra once said: "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."

Looking forward to it! My brother is flying out from GA and has never been to CA before. He is in for a surprise. We will try and make Baja Cantina
