Many/most of you know exactly what this thread title means. For those of you who don't, I thought I'd mention a few fantastic car events in August.
Specifically, The Weekend, August 13-15.
August 13th is the date of my favorite car show,
Concorso Italiano, on the old Fort Ord military base just north of Monterey (used to be in Carmel Valley at the Quail Lodge, now the site of a smaller, different show). One aspect of the Concorso Italiano is the 'car corrals'...sort of a side show to the main display of Italian masterpieces. Cars in the corrals are grouped by marque, and one corral is the Lotus corral. If all goes well, there will be at least one Elise present.
August 13-15 is also the
Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca nearby. A lotus corral has been organized there by the Golden Gate Lotus Club for the 14th. Ferrari is the featured marque at this event this year.
August 15th is, of course, the
Pebble Beach Concors d'Elegance. On Thursday the 12th, starting at 9:00AM, many of the cars shown will be participating in a driving tour of the Monterey Penninsula. This is a great opportunity to see these cars for free.
