We're heading South in a few minutes - will give you a call later - several of us will meet just before registration opens 12:30-1:00 and should be parked together later on Lighthouse Ave - see you there Troy....I don't think the PG Concours/Rally sold out so you should be able to register today - the event is low key, and fun - especially the rally in the evening. Mary and I are attending the bbq that follows the rally - so if you want sign up for that too....and join us..RickJ
Troy, my contact told me any tickets/VIP went very fast so i end up working on 2 Jaguars (wrap British Flags) and a Aston Martin DBS Clear bra.
VW Jamborre happening in Irvine tomorrow and I may check the Vintage swap meet Sunday.
Hope you all have a GREAT weekend !!

troy - i enjoyed meeting you and checking out your outstanding ride today.
Mark.
Great finally meeting you too!
I also got to meet a bunch of the northern Calif. Spyder owners. We all entered our cars in the Pacific Grove show and we had a great time. My car was number 300 and there were lots of car registered after me. They blocked off the main street in Pacific Grove and there were cars from one end to the other.
At the end of the show the cars all go for a drive over to the coast and then south to 17 mile drive, past Pebble Beach and through Carmel and back to Pacific Grove where we all attended a special dinner. The police blocked off all the intersections for us during the drive and there were literally thousands of people lining the route, waving, cheering, clapping, and taking pictures. It was like being at the Olympics or Superbowl or something....VERY COOL!
I have some GoPro video and I'll try to get it posted some. Here is a spectators view as the cars past Lovers Point. You will see all the Spyders, but you will have to look quick to see me as he was focused on a Camaro in front of me and just quickly flashed by me.

Nice pics Rick! You guys have been keeping this show a secret for far too long, but the cat is out of the bag and I'm guessing there will be a few more of us there next year. What a great time!

Troy - Yeah, I guess the secret's out. - As you found - this is a great, fun, event, and one of the few ways to PARticipate in the big weekend without having some sort of special megabuck super-car (or a mint AMC Pacer, or Chevy Vega...) for the Concours d'LeMons!).....we've added more Spyders every year with 7 participating this year - up from 2-5.....

It would be great to have a big showing of Speedsters next year - Remember to book a hotel early and shop for one that doesn't break your personal bank!
