Monterey '16 Car Week
#16
It was either 'Green' (2D8) or 'Signal Green' (22S)
like my gt3. Owner was not around to find out for
sure.
The personalized plate gives us a clue...

wrong 1967 911R from the Ingram Collection. The #017
has apparently been since sold by the Ingrams. This car was
owned formerly by Warren Eads, then Peter Kitchak, both of
whom I know personally.
So indeed the car in display is #003, currently in the Ingram
Collection:

Thanks Eduardo, and all others. Keep posting. This is a very useful thread.
Car week is #2 on my bucket list. #1 goes like this, Monaco Gran Prix late May, trains and car to Maranello, see the home of Ferrari, trains and cars to Germany, see Porsche and BMW factories and Museum, take the ring taxi, trains and car to Le mans mid-late June, see the 24 hour, fly home, die the next day a happy man. The ultimate one month in Europe.

Sorry I couldn't make. The flooding was devastating here in south Louisiana. I had a car show of sorts yesterday myself...totaled metal. Next year I'll be in Monterey & by then I'll be at full swing w/ cars again... Things happen for a reason - GT3 transmission recall grounded me last week from taking a nice road trip. I've been on the ground since Wednesday after checking on my friends working w/ ppl on getting their homes back together since I own a hardwood sawmill -flooring/ custom home biz. Had to let a few car ppl know I could help them in that area as well. Back to ground zero. Have fun today & take pictures plz! Cheers, Nick

Mid '60s mostly due to the persistent marine layer. ie fog/overcast. Fairly common Monterey peninsula summer weather. It actually made for a very pleasant day at Werks Reunion on Friday.....

Love the Monterey Peninsula, have only been there once though. We've been pushing high 80's, low 90's all summer. Thanks Mike!

The inspiration for the modern Z8 - the BMW 507
**
Some of my Z8 friends in attendance:
*
Over 20 were present for a special showing at The Quail on Friday.
Here is a photo of the designer of this model - Dane Henrik Fisker -
autographing my friend's Manuel Junco's Z8 at the Quail.
*
I sold my Z8 in 2007 but have still many friends in that community:
**
One of my favorite PTS color for the M3 - 'Fire Orange'
**
Hurley Haywood
**
Preserved 550 Spyder...as original as I have ever seen!
**
Assorted other Porsches:
**
The 'PTS Brigade' at Mothers Wax tent:
All seem to be Walter's Riverside delivered cars!
**
'Green' Porsches, something close to my heart:
**
Pebble Beach resident Danny Sullivan in a lighter moment at Canepa's
tent:

Bruce's 959 'driver':

Just load them to my MacBook Air & then
rely on my failing memory...Alzheimer is
working it's way slowly but surely!
It's getting so bad that I think there are
'Acid Green' 918 Spyders chasing me around
town. I know I must be imagining this...but
it seems to be a reoccurring dream!
