    Is the "of America" appellation new? I don't remember that from previous years, although I haven't paid that much attention for a few . . .

    The legally registered name has been Concours d'Elegance of America for some time. This year is the first time to publicly use it.

    I'm thinking at least a few. Prepping some of the cars on the list for the show would be awesome. So much history, design, and engineering into each car on display.
    I definitely hope to make it out this year

    Gah! Why on earth was it moved up a week? I've got to be at a wedding in DE on Saturday, and be at Meadowbrook on Sunday? I'm going to be asleep 1/2 the day!

    The show was moved up a week to get more seperation to Pebble Beach. It will allow more opportunity to attend both. Expect it to stay at the end of July.

    I am getting really excited for the show this year. I know the M1 is not the best car out there but its in my top 5, something about the car just makes me so excited to see it.

    But also the two Atalante's...drool, there seems to be a lot of great cars this year.

    Hey guys, I've never been to meadow brook but I think I'm going this year, I'm confused by their website and how much tickets cost and the dates I can go.

    It looks like the only Gen Ad day is sunday. The other days have certain times for events.

    Is this Sunday only with other events on fri and sat?


    Thanks

    Has anyone ever gone to the RM Auction? what did you think?

    Also for the person above the tour is also free, Im not sure if there is a map or not on the site but im guessing it is like the Pebble tour. Just find a spot and watch them drive by (only not on highway 1 :))

    Where is the 599 GTO coming from? I can tell you that we will not have received any by then.

    Ken isn't aware where it is coming from either.

    That was a 599XX, not a GTO...

    Three updates on the Supercar display:

    1. Tesla Roadster was cancelled by Tesla.

    2. A Rossi 66 has been added to the display.

    3. 599GTO will not yet be available by showtime. I spoke with Dan C. today and confirmed that it will be the 599, not the 599GTO.

    Hope to see you all there.

    If the weather's supposed to be good, I'm going to drive the Mondial to Meadow Brook on Sunday. Hope to see other local (or not so local, for that matter) F-chatters there, looks like it will be a good show this year.
