Road trip to Monterey next month. What to take?

[Mike W.]

So what car show are you guys doing, this one?

CONCOURS d'LeMONS: Free Show Tomorrow in Seaside CA!

Doing Monterey? Tired of seeing nice things? Brother, you're in luck: The free Concours d'LeMons hits its new venue (not Toro Park!) tomorrow.



What: Concours d'LeMons, the least-Pebbley car show in town

Entry: Free, ie. what it's worth

When: Saturday 20 August, 9-ish to 3-ish

Where: Seaside City Hall/Laguna Grande Park, take Hwy 1 to exit 403

We're doing Laguna Seca (seca is how I like my martinis).
I'm on day two and my vote would be to do whatever doesn't have traffic. It's freaking insane around here this weekend. Definitely not fun for a stick shift.

Chuck, was this transporter at Monterey this weekend?

[Karl Grau]

Yes and it was spectacular.

I have a model of that!!!

I've got a model of an E28, too, though.

[Karl Grau]

Well I made it home with zero issues. The car ran like a Swiss watch the entire trip. In fact, I think it ran better and better the farther I went. Total distance was 1003 miles and the S38 used about 3/4 of a quart of oil.
My only complaint is that a cassette wouldn't eject between Ventura and Huntington Beach so the music was a bit repetitive for a time.

All in all, a great trip with great people.
