I guess I'll see you there on Wednesday night.
Yup, Gordon McCall is doing it for the 25th time. It started as a BBQ and now it's the kick-off party for Monterey Car Week. There are still some tickets left at under $650 for McCall's Motorworks Revival. Actually that's pretty good value for two hangars of new private jets like Gulfstreams, Hondas, a couple of old DC3s, new and old exotic cars and owners, three hectares of caviar, champagne and tequila and only 3000 people trying to drink more booze than you.
Yes, folks it's Pebble Beach time where billionaires and even a few millionaires chopper into the home of famous white people like Clint Eastwood, Frank Zappa and Robert Louis Stevenson.
So let's do the maths. Five serious, serious bike and car auctions, expensive car forums, expensive cars driving up and down the main street of Carmel-by-the-Sea, expensive automobilia, expensive car paintings and the finale, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
Out of all the beautiful metal you can see across the week can I just point out one: consignment 7004 at Russo and Steele, a 1965 Bentley Open Wheel Race Car.
