    Is anyone attending this year? Its this coming weekend at Amelia Island in Florida. I confirmed my travel plans and am rather excited to attend for the first time. Any advice on which venues to concentrate on?

    Drop in a line if you are going to attend.

    cheers

    Hope to see you there. Some of my best friends go & show. Keep an eye out for Charles Maher, a great Ferrari auto artist.

    Unfortunately, this is the first time in 4 years that I won't be attending. A favorite for me, besides the Concours itself, is the RM Auction. Some great cars and a lot of fun.
    Enjoy yourself. Its a hell of a show. They do a really good job with this event.

    I look forward to the rm auction. That should be real interesting. Do either of you have friends showing cars this year? If so what are they bringing?

    I will be meeting a gentleman who is showing a lovely Allard Lemans special.

    I will take many pictures to share next week!

    warm regards

    Ken

    I wish I could go this year. This is a great event.

    Road racers are being featured this year. I would make a very special effort to hear the drivers speaking. I can only imagine the stories that they will tell.

    As always,
    Enjoy!!

    The whole weekend is a first-class well-organized perfectly-run event. I am so very sorry that I'll miss it this year. To all of you who are going, have a blast!
    Please take plenty of pics for those of us who can't attend this year.
    Thanks!

    My parents are heading out tomorrow and my Uncle has signed up to be a bidder. But I don't think he has anything particular in mind yet.
