It was nice seeing them again after so many years. They are more like PCA Parade friends. It's not like we hang out, but if we lived closer I'd sure like to. They are a TON of fun to be around. I could learn a thing or two from them on how to loosen up a little more and just ENJOY. they sure do. 
Not from the Carmel /Monterey week, but from the Open House at Tru-Speed we attended on the way up to Carmel. Robert just loved this car and inquired if it was for sale. The answer: No, but Yeah. Everything is for sale. What does that mean? lol
I can see me in this car.... in the passenger seat screaming at Robert to slow down!!!!!

The lighting in the place was artistic but not very condusive to photographing actual colors. It's a Tribute car with a 2.8 that has been very nicely done. Really Nice.

Leaf Green is Robert's favorite early 911 color, but this car isn't leaf Green. It was painted Porsche Color Code: 6710/6767 Lime Green (Chartreuse) 226. It was offered in 1973 only, but in 1972 you could get it as a Special Order (SO).

There have been a number of really beautiful tribute cars done lately as prices have gotten out of reach. The last good deal on a driver RS that I saw was at European Collectibles last Spring at $180K IIRC. I doubt we'll see any lower than that from now on. A buddy owned a beater (White/Blue Graphics) that we used to race at Sears Point years ago, it was the purest raw 911 experience I can remember. Anyway, thanks for the picture, really beautiful car.

JoA-- When I first saw your above photo, I thought of the challenging light of Bruce Canepa's downstairs showroom. I figured Tru-Speed must have better lighting; I was suprised to read the following. Good job with that photograph; it turned out much better than mine at Canepa.
Taking us back to the La Dolce Vita Automobili, here's the view from the Alfa Romeo Club's private picnic...
My new-found friends knew how to have fun at a Concours event. Some of the good grub & vino they generously invited me to share:
