Default CNCpics made it to Monterey Car Week!

It's been quite an epic trip thus far with lots of ups and downs. From broken rentals, to accidents, to getting lost we've experienced a lot. I'll tell the whole story later. But here are a few teasers from what I've seen thus far:





















Stay tuned for the full story about the whole weekend in a few days. But for now I hope you guys enjoy these pics.

I wonder how hard would it be, to knock everyone out in broad daily light drive in with a few flat beds and take some cars.

I don't know about this one in terms of looks. I read that McLaren made a one off of this for one of their clients based off the MP4-12C.

It's was It is a '94 which was yellow, but the current owner had it refurbished by McLaren Special Operations and painted white and also had them add the High Downforce kit

awesome pics. I was going to go, but again this year we had another baby. I am dying to take the kids when they get a little older. The wife already told me to go with some friends next year and she will stay behind with the kids. I had 2 tickets that I purchased way back. I ended up giving them to one of my staff who was headed to northern cali to see friends. Sold them for $100, at a $300 loss.

SVT,

If someone were to ask me what money with more money poured over it looks like, I would refer them to your pictures.

Do you have any details about the BMW 8 Series car?

Thanks

It was a truly amazing weekend. I have to thank my friends Erik Reynolds and Dilan Birlastnametoocomplicated for showing me around and for helping make it one of the best weekend's EVER!

We went nuts and tried to cover EVERYTHING, which meant that I was awake for 43 hours slept 7 and then was awake for another 29. But a great time was had so it was all worth it. Sorry I haven't made any real updates today. But I was recovering a bit.
