I didn't, but several other staff members did. Now that they're all getting home after that crazy week, look for photos and information from these events soon.

Yep, Monterey is completely nuts. After we set up the booth at Mazda Raceway / Laguna Seca on Thursday we saw at least 10 Jag XKSSes leaving the track to go on a "tour". Within the pack of XKSSes there was the one and only Jag XK13 with them! Where else are you going to see stuff like that?!

We also saw a car NOT sell for $10.7 million dollars! It is a whole nuther world out there!

Nice pictures, Keith. Thanks for sharing!

Monterey is on my list, but I'm hoping to land a winning lottery ticket first. As cool as the event looks, I'd rather go there with a 7-digit balance in my checking account.

Andy: I looked up the Fiat sale and you got a decent bid on it. The value of these still lies in their driveability and not collectablilty. As an owner, I would have preferred to see it used and enjoyed for a while. This is their strength. For the price of a used Civic, you can get into the vintage sports car hobby and not need a trailer or an armed guard in the public parking lot.

Ron,

What did the Spider go for? I can't seem to find any info on it.
