If there is one event to attend this year this could be it....
May 23rd Sunday at Fort Adams (inside the Fort itself...) will be held the Newport Concours Event... This is shaping up to be one the the most amazing car related events of the season. Lunch available at the event, there will be general public parking and then reserved parking (which I think many here would qualify for...) for public guests that arrive in a "special interest" car, this parking is set away from the public, over looking the Ocean and the Newport Bridge etc. This lot in itself will house some very cool cars...entrance to that area will be blocked and person at the gate I think will give the OK to pass and park in this area. This is NOT just an antique car show (not that this would be a bad thing just saying...), not in the least. There will be featured some amazing new cars as well as some rare Vintage autos...Also will have some very cool Vendors there from high end watches to other...

If you want to be one of the first locally to view the new AMG SLS you may want to attend....http://www.autoblog.com/model/sls+amg rumor has it they have one...AMG is a sponsor of the event! How about a possible ride and drive in this car? yup.... There will be again modern day technological marvels from Enzo's to classic Bugatti's, Duesenberg's etc...

Ping me directly with any questions, I am clearly excited for this event as I am a Newport local yocal...that said I have a pretty good handle on what this event will offer.

Looking forward to seeing you there.... here is the site that is up for now: http://www.newportconcours.org/ new site to be launched soon, starts at 10am and ends at 4/5ish...

 

Im going to try to make it. Ill be in a triple black c4 cab or a brown 911 sc targa, not sure yet.

 

too bad - a week too early for me... I'll be going to Maine for Memorial day weekend and could have stopped by RI as it sounds like a fun event. Have fun guys!
