Photos I took today, mainly of a Canadian contingent of Lamborghinis at the Embassy Suites Hotel, part of the Tour d'Elegance, and finally the Black Horse Exposition (Aston and Ferrari photos on lawn) at Pebble Beach.

Photos below, and also slideshow link of the complete album.

Concorso Italiano is tomorrow; I'll post those tomorrow night.

Some were steam-propelled, and all dripped oil/fluids onto the grounds of the Carmel Mission.

Very nice Patrick, thanks for posting your pics. I'll be glued to the BB this weekend waiting for more!

Today was Concorso Italiano at the Marina Air Field, and boy, was it a change from the Blackhawk Golf Course. There was not one single patch of grass anywhere (concrete only), and the wind kicked up in the afternoon, and without any topography/trees to block the wind, it got too cold for lots of folks. In my opinion, it lost the coziness that the old venue emanated, with its expanse of grass, trees, small knolls, and as a result a touch of class. Someone referred to it as resembling a swap meet - a humorous comment, but not without merit.

I'm not sure if Alfa participation suffered, we'll know next year since everyone would then have a good idea of what the field looks like.

Following are photos I took today; again, I'll just post a few, while the rest can be viewed by clicking this link:
