Folks,

What a fantastic week again - I have just arrived back home. I took 850 pictures - a new record for me but ouy guys have covered everything except the fantastic event at the Quail Lodge and the Carmel Councours.

Quail by far was the outstanding event of the week with superb cars, food, wine and friends. The Lancias at Pebble were stunning, especially Bruce Milner's fantastic Flaminia Sport restoration (Arrived from the resto shop "just in time" on Thu in Monterey - Thanks to Pat for taking a pic with me and Adan allover the car ...), Tulius' all original Appia Sport, the fantastic Albany Airway Lambda, stunning Astura (with Castagna body) and, what I would have loved to drive, the Riva bodied Aprillia Barchetta.

The Alfas were not shabby either (Best in Show is stunning) - What, again, surprised me is the amazing level of the restorations at Pebble: They seem to get better every year and I dont want to know what they cost ...

Will try to post some pics from the Quail over th next days ...
