An incredible selection of Ferrari cars displayed on the famous golf course, from 166 MM — early days, to tailor-made 812 Competizione with all stops on the way. Ferrari 250 GT & GTO, California Spyder, Daytona, 330P4, 412P, Daytona SP3, 12 Cilindri. And this was a free event, preceded by a short driving tour on a 17-mile highway. Colorful, unexpected and mind-blowing event.

Mid-size family-like British Car community meet celebrating the centenary of MG. Plenty of MGs, Mini and Jaguars of 50-th to 70-th, not a single Porsche in sight. The most photogenic parking lot car meet I've been to. Rows of lovely cars I have never seen before.

Lovely Saturday on the state park grounds of Laguna Seca, watching Italian masterpieces zip by, accompanied by the mighty roar of V6, V10, and V12 engines. It was my first encounter with the beautiful and powerful FXX and FXX-K Evo cars, the out-of-this-world 499P, and the F2002 F1 car. Plus a nice display of the fresh 296GTB model in vibrant colors.

Lovely season closure at Sonoma Raceway with Velocity Invitational. Historic cars and family friendly entertainment with Lando Norris and Pato O'Ward autograph sessions. Amazing light show - courtesy of low November sun and hilly location. Very well organized and not too crowded event.

Luftgekühlt comes to the Bay Area and blows doors out with well organized two-days event on ex-Naval Shipyard at Mare Island. Hundreds of Porsche cars — original and modified, air and water cooled, great crowd, music, food and drinks — all you could ask for a car festival.
