You know it's Monterey Historics weekend….

I spent last night in Carmel Valley visiting family. It was hard to find somewhere to stay because this weekend is the annual Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca. You know it’s that time of year when there’s a Ford GT-40 parked outside Safeway, Porsches and Ferraris are as common as dirt, and it takes a brand new Lamborghini or a couple of Bentley Arnage’s to catch your attention. As I came off the Laureles Grade yesterday afternoon and turned onto Carmel Valley Road, I passed a pale yellow Jaguar D-type, street-legal, complete with the fairing behind the driver’s head. Gorgeous. (Though after much searching through A9, I’ve reluctantly concluded that it might have been this replica – oh well….)
