That 250 GTO is very real... one of several in Monterey this week.

There ain't nothing fake about that GTO.. Car week is the most mind-blowing event.. The only thing crazier I've seen is probably Goodwood revival where 250 GTO 's actually race and bump each other.

I got to buy beers for Gordon Murray & Mansour ojjei.. So, pretty much bucket list/life highlight moment for me. Asked every mclaren f1, and ayrton senna fanboy question which came to mind, and got a pic to prove it..

Also got brief time with Christian Von koenigsegg, as well as Jim glickenhaus and Paolo garella of SCG.. insane moments. Too bad when I'm in front of my heroes like these guys, my really good questions fail me.. I become a drooling fool. Oh well.. Still best year at pebble ever for me.

Last one!... Got to sit in probably the most famous mclaren f1 of all, the Gulf Longtail.. I have owned a 1:18 scale model of this beast for years... actually sitting in it was literally a surreal moment of nirvana.

If this is his grocery getter we wondered what his "nice" car was?
