    Yep, I`ve been going every year since `05. No more though, persistent price increases just dont make it worth while any more. There`s a rather decent local show later in the year in PVB I discovered that was very enjoyable. A Porsche club was staying near by. I never seen that wide of an assortment before! I plan on being there again this year.





    Here`s some eye candy from last year:

    So Jon, did you go? What were your top favorite cars? Did you track down Barry Meguiar like I did that one year?

    Cool cars! I regret I didn`t get to see the Elvis car. One of these days Ill probably return but I picture myself visiting California some time in the coming years to attend Pebble Beach. At least that would be part of a vacation.

    It looks like all or most of those were new for this year, but I see the event wasn`t drastically different. Always a sight to behold. Thanks for sharing those pics :up
