Looks like a nice event to hit on Friday. I'm glad I asked the question. I bet this would be my favorite. I'd only make it for 3-4 days thurs/fri-sun. Lines up nicely. Ty for fhe info

This is happening now in south Louisiana another round of bad flooding. This is an amazing video. http://www.wafb.com/story/32753230/d...nttype=generic

Been 4 times. Of course, the actual Sunday Pebble Beach event is the highlight and has to be on everyone's bucket list. But our last time, we skipped it due to the crowds. Get there early.

Always loved the RM auction. This year, due to remodeling of the Portola hotel, understand it will be under a tent there. Not the same it would seem.

The Mecum daytime auction is good, love the venue. Food good at that hotel.

So much to do, excitement of the week is addictive. Great fun.

The Quail event is good. New exotic car exhibits, great food, lots of dressed up folks, tics expensive. Again, nice venue. Only been once.

immediate area surrounding Carmel for Rennlisters
coming to Rennsport V back in 2015. Here is that
list:

http://www.carmelcantina.com
The weekly gathering of sport cars & hot rods is on Thursdays!

The Baja Cantina owner, auto collector Pat Phinny, also is the proprietor of 'Turn 12'
restaurant (American) in downtown Monterey - thus named because Laguna Seca
has 11 turns! http://www.turn12barandgrill.com

*********

'Carmel Valley Village' (20/30 minute drive from Carmel). Can also be accessed via
Laureles Grade from Route 68 in vicinity of Laguna Seca):

Corkscrew on 55 West Carmel Valley Road / Carmel Valley Village

The owners, Walter & Gaston Georis, also are the proprietors of Casanova &
The Biclyclette in Carmel. Gaston drives a Boxster.

Wine Tasting
Bernardus Winery Tasting Room on 5 West Carmel Valley Road / Carmel Valley Village

Bernardus Winery is owned by Ben Pon, an ex-Porsche factory driver,
whose family are Porsche (& VW Group) importers for Holland!

Talbott Vineyards Tasting Room on 5 Pilot Road, Carmel Valley Village
http://www.talbottvineyards.com
Talbott was owned by a friend, notable motorcycle collector, Robb Talbott!
It has just been sold. Robb used to have part of his extensive motorcycle
collection on display at the tasting room.

By the way, you can drive from Carmel to Greenfield (on 101, south of Salinas)
via Monterey County G16 Road. Pretty twisty...and a good interior road to drive your Porsche!

http://www.seemonterey.com/things-to...scenic-drives/

Due to the current Soberanes Fire, suggest you check with CalFire
before coming up G16 from 101 in Greenfield just in case of unexpected road closure:

Great photos. What green do you think the RS is wearing? Mint on GT4?
