Anyone planning to go to Monterey? Driving up or down a coupe?
Who’s going to Monterey?
- Thread starter Rex Kapriellian
- Start date
Several of the local BMW owners travel up every year as we volunteer at Legends and also at the Pebble Beach Concours.
I’ll be there. Coupe not ready so either the e30 or e46.
Doing a rally the early morning of Legends so I will be there late morning.

And the rally is more important?
Just as important….
Never miss it - I will be dragging my wife's Nash Metropolitan down to be sold at Goodings
More importantly, I will have my 1928 Isotta Fraschini on the lawn on Sunday. Feel free to come and see a sweating, overworked, crazy nut job trying to make it as clean as poss for judging

I may make the pilgrimage, possibly pull a car with the F150. That 6 hour drive up can get long without AC, exhaust/gas smell and leather. Takes the fun out of it sometimes. But something about that drive and seeing all the cool cars headed to the same spot.
Thank you
I won't know the judges until the day, but would be fun if it was, although even if Jim, its all very official like for that 15 mins, so wouldn't be able to laugh about "eh, Jim, nice to meet you we have a mutual acquaintance ..............................................

What have you won at pebble chris?Me too Chris, me too
Not me. Pete‘s IF was there and was selected for an award but wouldn’t start if I remember correctly. Was it 2018 or 2019? I am on the radio calling out to our runners to pull the cars selected from each class as results are released. It’s hectic and scary at the same time as we need to keep the holding area full before they cross the winners ramp. When the class hosts can’t find the driver or driver can’t find the key, or has a dead battery or even needs gas (how does that even happen?) we tend to panic as it is a real chore to bring them up through the crowd which is oblivious to the cars behind them. Afterwards I drink a lot of wine at the Beach Club! It makes Legends seem tame in comparison.
Sometime I need to share the story of Jackie Stewart’s son’s Ferrari that was selected for an award and he needed to take a pee first! He almost didn’t make it back in time.
Hi Chris
No, I was talking about my E9 in 2016, getting second in class for 100 years of BMW - BTW beaten by a 507 that had a $1M RM restoration (to me almost like a win
). Maybe it was Paul C who called me up that time.I cannot tell you how chuffed/humbled I was, as this is the only time an E9 has been judged on the lawn at the PB concours and had some serious competition because BMW was the celebrated marque in 2016
The IF was there in 2017, for the year of Isotta Fraschini, it was meant to go across the ramp, but sadly the engine had blown up on the tour. So could not be judged and was there just on display. Found out the engine had cracks as it had been a trailer queen for years before I purchased, so nobody had truly driven it more than a few hundred yards.
The repairs on a cracked original 1928 engine have been horrendous, but seems we are good to go now.
