As requested, attached are some pics from Friday's Concorso Italiano in the Monterey area (ex-Fort Ord golf course).
Acres of Ferraris
Full Version: Concorso Italiano pics
Acres of Lambos
Alfas were the featured cars, but I'm not an Alfa fan.
Lambo concept car.
Vintage racer.
New exotic - a "SSC".
SSC engine . Nice headers!
Oops!
Saleen S7 engine - Wow!
Some Porsche content. Beautiful 356 - classic lines.
One of my all time favs - a street F40.
i hope i'll be able to find a 356 someday, i have always liked those cars.....
Racing F40 engine compartment. oo la la!
F430. Guy on crutches just picked it up.
How about a $59,000 Bimota! Check out the steering system.
My personal favorite - a 250 Lusso.
Vintage Maserati grill.
Very nice GTO!

Yeah... nice car, too!
The new Superamerica. Sorry I could not frame the pic better; people kept geting in front of me. Its a 12 cylinder, 540hp beauty based on the 575 Maranello. F1 shifter.
Very interesting electric pivoting roof on Superamerica. Goes in place in less than 10 seconds. Roof is composed of electrochromic glass and amount of light entering the cockpit is electrically controlled by the driver; dark to light in under a minute.
Interior of Superamerica.
Awards lineup.
i enjoy the lines of different cars, i really like the lines on the ferrari line...
Last pic. Just for Marty - the class winning Dino; beeyootiful car!
All in all, I had a great time. Hundreds of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis and Alfa Romeos! Good food and many vendors too selling stuff you don't see just any place. Kruse auction too; most memorable an Enzo went for $925K. As usual the traffic was a bitch, but well worth it. The corrals of other cars (Porsches, BMWs, Jags, etc.) were also a show in themselves. Next year you guys on the right coast can check out the cars too since the Concorso Italiano will also be at the 12 hours of Sebring. Recommend you check it out.

Ha, that's Roland's car, he drives it around town here all the time.
He is also the guy in charge of the "Player's Run"
Super nice guy, and ex racer.

nice curves in that pic too
great pics man, thanks for sharing!!
I love all cars, not just Porsches
Just recieved the attached from one of the guys in the Porsche corral. Nice panorama - scroll form left to right. The only Teener is Olaf's at the "7 o'clock" position relative to the red umbrella. My 911 is the one with the black headlight trim.
all the OO TR guys would have done ALOT better to buy the 250 in '87...

Am I the only one that thinks the SuperAmerica is ugly with the top-up, and ugly with the top-down? Man, that's the worst convertible idea I've seen
Here's a shot of my car at the Concorso.
Great photos!
Really wish I could have attended this year. (racing motorcycle instead)
Correction:
There's another 914 in that panoramic shot...
Scroll all the way to the right, fourth row back, senond one in, wild flared black car.
Is that your 911 just behind it?

Your'e right! How could I have missed that beauty?!
Missed your car too Steve; another beauty for sure! Love those flares!
You can tell I was spending too much time with the Italians.
I personally like the 356 best, but I cannot find the car in the picture. Maybe you could point it out to us.
Tom , thx for sharing the Concorso pics...the yellow Dino is awesome- naturally a winner F40s not looking too shabby either 
I heard that the Rennsport Reunion will be coming west in '07 , I'll try & research this some more .

The car is the one with the smaller "bumpers"; its a classic too.
