IML: Imperials and Monterey

[Bob Schmitt <bsbrbank@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Randy -

It would have been great to know another Imperial owner & IML member was 
there - we'll need to coordinate in the future.  I've missed the last 2 
Pebble Beach Concours - ever since the tickets went to $100+ (each!).  For 
a few years prior to that, I had a comp pass through an automotive artist 
friend who was exhibiting and before that, I paid the $60 entry fee, but 
$100+ seems a bit rich.

Also in previous years, I've gone to the Concorso Italiano (had a car in a 
special Giugiaro display once and talked to "the greatest living stylist" 
himself), the vintage races (and practices) at Laguna Seca, club parties 
and shows, etc., and the free open house at the Blackhawk Museum  It still 
is, potentially, the greatest line-up of car "events" in the world, taking 
place over 10 days. Several are really insider/invitation only events, but 
there is still too much for the average human being! Every car nut should 
make the pilgrimage at least once.  Including the drive up on Highway 1, 
Pacific Coast Highway.
