... same for this 1957 Denzel 1300 SS Roadster Chassis No. DK151:
Last night for dinner party & today for lunch.
Only in Monterey would you run into these rarities day after day

After dinner earlier in the week, we walked to a friend's 911 to find a gaggle of happy kids examining his ride. I heard them gushing, "Blue!" "Nice car, mister." "Wowwww."
We couldn't help but chuckle at the cute kiddo who said it was the best car in town because it had a unicorn






When he started it, the straight pipes got the attention of the adults who suddenly LUVed it, too

I crossed paths with exotics like Singer's "Dubai" 911 & the Denzel Roadster multiple times, but only saw this C4S once. Its owner's a RLer friend who, like me, was visiting from out-of-state all week. Only 1 brief sighting in his 993 as I left the Baja Cantina & he pulled into The Quail's Porsche Zentrum

It's hard to imagine it anywhere else, but you can be busy for 6 days straight at car activities in Monterey yet never see someone you're looking for.

It's impossible to do everything that's available in Car Week. I keep trying, but return each year 'cuz I missed something

Cool pics dude!

Interesting on that blue RS car. He used the high-offset centers with deep barrels, never seen that before.

Later!

Just 1 of many delicious details on my friend's 911, & why it was on TV during Monterey Car Week (more to follow).
His wheels rock

Speaking of crossing paths with friends in Monterey, it was good to not only see RLers Pauly993 & dnmnm at Tue's Carmel Concours, but to hang out with them again at Fri's Legends of the Autobahn (LOTA) Concours.

Speaking of TV: during LOTA, Dean was interviewed (again) for PCA's YouTube channel.

RLer Manny Alban's interview:

Later, RLer dnmnm took the podium. Those that know this class act & his inspiring Porsches were not surprised. Congratulations!
Kudos to Legends of the Autobahn organizer David B. & RLer GT3.2 who helped RLer dnmnm park next to 'Speedy'
Besides taking glassware home from Tuesday's Carmel Concours, Dean earned a trophy Friday

Alvin's the one that goes to Speedy to grab a magazine during this vid. He was excited to see the same car he'd read about in Excellence parked next to Big Bird, & happy I brought a copy of that issue.

Default 2011 rewind

This was the 3rd time in 4 years that my wife & I have attended from out-of-state. In 2011, we parked on the opposite of Big Bird from this year's Class P3A winner, Andy C.

Those of you that were at this year's LOTA may have recognized AC in the video & AutoBlog.com's above photo. It was good to see a returning competitor triumph this year. He's put in his time, & the judges agreed his clean machine definitely deserved the big trophy

In 2011:

That's a superb color on that 959. And the reflection on that wing - my mirror doesn't shine that well!

Do the headlight washers on that car extend up? Or flip up? Or something like that?

I spy a tasty B5 RS4 (with a cargo net!) and a TT-RS too.

Keep the pics comin!

Good catch!

Notice all the R8s as Concours judge & PCA Past President Prescott Kelly snaps a souvenir of our 993

Absolutely everything about his 959 is superb. I've owned German cars in dark metallic gray; it's one of my favorite colors - like Slate Gray 993s.
