Oh yeah, no one can even begin to comprehend the incredibility of Monterey during Pebble week ... it is beyond anything you could imagine.
Last year I saw 13 or 14 Veyrons driving around. Includes a Pur Sang, Hermes, Grand Sport. F50s, CCXs, Mclaren F1s Porsche 959s (note plurals!) and I'm not even getting into the classics. Some guy drove around all week in some red monstruosity from (I presume) the thirties. Ridiculous looking beast. Filled up after a 1914 Peugeot ... and let's not talk about the Pebble tour. Buddy almost got ran over by a Jag D-Type ... it just is insane.
Can you tell I'm depressed about not making it this year? ahahahaha

As promised, here are the pics from yesterday's parade lap. Not many more posts from me after this since we're headed back home tomorrow after we drop the 911 @ Stevens Creek Porsche. Thanks for looking - and extra-special thanks to my lovely, patient, wonderful wife for indulging a dream for me! 
Lined up for the parade laps (I'm in the gray t-shirt) - and yes, the 550 is real not a replica
After laps and coming off the track...
Gulf Blue and Mexico Blue side-by-side
Where my beloved wife and I got married... (closer to the beach, but you get the idea)
Seahorses from the Monterey Bay Aquarium - if you've never been it's well worth the trip. My wife's favorite animal
Thanks again for looking!!! Back to DC tomorrow (via airplane!).

Chris, it was great to finally meet you and your lovely wife. It looks like you and I both married up way out of our league 
I look forward to the next time. We will definitely look you up next time we are on the east coast and please look us up next time you are in Norcal.
