Here is that list: Other restaurants in Carmel Valley & Carmel Valley Village that I recommend: Baja Cantina (Mexican) on 7166 Carmel Valley Road (not far from Carmel-by-the-Sea): 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 http://www.corkscrewcafe.com The owners, Walter & Gaston Georis, also are the proprietors of Casanova & The Biclyclette in Carmel.

I have not been bothered by traffic so far this week,
but expect congestion tomorrow (Friday) on Carmel Valley Road for Werks Reunion & The Quail. *** Otherwise, it has been a pretty intensive 'green' week so far... https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...bc198d891b.png https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...13a9e8f177.png https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...55b4c0c0b7.png https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...cd561cfdb2.png https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...3b0c9e30d0.png https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...b07e8a83dd.png https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...e2c7fa1526.png https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...1999b4355f.png :bigbye: Saludos, Presently back in Carmel |

Hello Edouardo,
Your post could be seen, at least to my eyes, as a bit confusing! The 911R that shows the (French) license plate 5573QD14 is **not** #17, but it is #003 ! (I think the Ingram Collection still do own both of these two.) \ 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: https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...945c72fba8.png https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...0632d5f6a3.png https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...4f11dfdc52.png https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...f532e7822c.png *** Vic Elford with Bob Ingram & the #003: https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...db638f3ea1.png Saludos, Eduardo Carmel, CA |
Stopped briefly at the Concours d'LeMons
