I've only been once, on Italian Day. overall, the lot is about 1/4 the capacity of Irvine. Not as crowded though either, and for those of us in the South Bay it is far more convenient. (I am only 5 minutes away)

there were 2 rows of Italians, mainly Ferrari, a couple of Lambos. a little more than a row of Porsche, good 356 turnout, 1 CGT a few 3.2 cars, 3 993s, and a few others.

They started last year, and in fact May is their anniversary, and it is growing.

I expect a good turnout for German Day with a good assortment ranging from 356s to present day. Roughly speaking, there is room for about 150 cars in the lot they use.

There is some pretty impressive machinery on the hill.

Brochure for May, pics show turnout.

No idea, but their other auction is interesting: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TWO-WESTWOOD...item27b434138e

I guess he/she is planning on living a while longer.

I'd say it's a more relaxed, under-regulated, intimate, "manageable" show. You can chat with your P-car friends and still see all the 100 or so cars, which can be of the highest caliber. There's a Starbucks right there or a Burger King, if that's how you roll. I plan to become a "regular," time-permitting...

Haha. 150k for a companion crypt. Rather put the Benjamins into a GT3!

With a 3 year old and a 7 month old, those "most of the day" long drives and gatherings are a thing of the past for me for the most part. These local events do make it possible for me to do a little driving and see my p-car buds AND spend time with the kids.

I hear you, I can't justify a big chunk of the day. But, there are couple of choices I have in SD that allow me a 30 minute ride to and from-always great on a Saturday morning.

no, nor do you have to be of any age to join the PV Seniors, they'll accept your money no matter what your age!

anyone can come and show their car, it is a public parking lot.
