Doin' the right thing...





Sometimes half the fun is just walking the paddock, Monterey '06 continued... 

Love the row of vintage Formula One cars, mid/late '60s Ferrari in the foreground, lovely looking front engine Ferrari Formula One near the end, and what looks like a 904 Porsche on the very end. The big boys play at Monterey! 

My lord talk about curves!!! The row of 1950s sports racers is chilling. Is that a Conault in the foreground? Of course the Maserati 300S is one of the all time greats. The Ferrari next to it looks like one of the last TR250s, a '60 or '61? Hard to say what's further down. 

This last shot can really only be Monterey. What an outrageous line-up of road going sports cars this is. What do we have here; a lovely open DB2 in the foreground, a very drab-patina'd pre-war Alfa...  a 2300 I believe ( I spent a lot of time looking at this car, what a stunning survivor it was ), next we have the ubiquitous Ferrari 275- they couldn't possibly have left one of those out of this line-up, with non-other than a Zagato bodied DB4GT next door, and finally my all time favorite Ferrari... the 250GT SWB. Just breathtaking! Maybe I'll take a stab at the Alfa way down on the end as being a 1750. 

Finally we have Jaguar E-type hanging with cousins Lister Jag etc...
