It’s a blast. We took our daughter when she was 8 weeks old. I met Sir Jackie Stewart a couple years back.
This is the first year we are not attending, after a years of attending. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will be there. I do the Porsche Werks reunion every year.
I am hoping next year, as its the 50th anniversary of the 917 there is a special marquee at Concours. |

it's my 16th wedding anniversary this weekend. If we were to pull a last minute trip what do you/everyone recommend? Where to stay what to be able to get into (events/VIP etc?)

I think it would be hard to find a room at the last minute in Monterey or PG. San Jose or Salinas might be the best bet.
We had/have a couple places on the Peninsula that have been in the family for five generations. Every year, many of our neighbors rent their places for stupid money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rolex is a big sponsor at Pebble. What people, clients etc. are they inviting?
Is someone of you invited from Rolex? |

I ended up in that area a few years ago by accident, was taking a trip to Carmel, Monterey, and San Francisco.
Was finally able to get a room at a motel which turned out to be the HQ of the Aston Martin club...was a pretty cool selection of cars, but we paid $500 for a motel room. |

Always wanted to go and just moved to Bay Area so I may attend this year. Question though, is buying the general admission pass on the Concours website a necessity or is there a lot to do/see without gaining entry to the Pebble Beach official show?

Fourtane jewelers has their invite-only event the weekend after car week. I went last year, but will not be around this year. Pity. I was hoping to drive the new ride down... Nice vintage Rolex action.
Some year I also hope to meet one of our esteemed TRF members and owner of minus4plus6.com - Sheldon Smith - at Fourtanes. |

That's a shame! Did you or anyone spot this?
I read an article on TMZ about the first drive and saw some Google results saying it was at this event. |

Always a fun week up there. I will be at Quail, Concorso Italiano, Pebble Beach, and various auctions here and there between things.
IIRC, Hodinkee has had a meetup at Fourtane the last 2 years. Wonder if they have something planned this year. Lots of fantastic vintage pieces. |

If you’re a McLaren F1 fan, there’s a few things worth noting this week. The F1GTR that won LeMans will be turning some laps at Laguna Seca over the weekend and RMSothebys will be displaying road car chassis #014 which is currently for sale. Price not listed but believed to be north of $20M. And chassis #036 which I’ve had the pleasure of viewing up close has been spotted driving around the area.
I consider the F1 to be the Concorde of automobiles(or maybe vice-versa). |
