    Its never too early to start planning. I'm trying to head down with a friend to do the whole Amelia Island concours. I'm working on a Discovery Channel automotive show pilot concept. I'm trying to setup an interview with Sir Sterling Moss and some of the other luminaries that will be speaking on Saturday. There is some very cool stuff going on.

    I'm looking for housing suggestions if anyone has some ideas. I hope to see and meet some of you there.

    warm regards

    Attached you will find some of the wonderful automobiles from past years. As you can see, some very special cars show up. This is the biggest and most diverse concours on the east coast with a very special eye towards racing cars. This years featured racer is Richard Petty.

    There are some hotels however they usually raise their prices at concourse. Try this location you may be able to find a vacation rental for less, especially if you are spitting the cost with friends. http://www.amelia-era.com/

    Directions are pretty easy, Amelia Island exit off I95, head east until the big bridge that takes you on the island, take a right at the first light over the bridge. Follow the signs.

    The local cops are, how should I say... active? =) Oh and AIA from I95 to the island is 4 lanes however the right side is very rough with hidden pot holes (RIP poor Lowenhart)

    Night life is mostly on center street on the NE corner of the island. Local favorites for dining are Ciao italian just off the island, beech street grill close to center street, Moon river pizza on 14th street and Barbara Jeans close to the big bridge.

    Hope everyone enjoys my home. My daily driver is a Silver NSX with after market wheels... if you see me wave!

    We usually stay at the Residence Inn, or the Courtyard near the airport. Restaurants nearby, and about a 40 drive to the concours. Rates are usually much under $100/night.
