The Hilton Garden Inn in Monterey. INCREDIBLE place to spot. If you find yourself there at the right time (probably at night), you will lose track of all the exotics there.


Alright, so I am going to take off at around 8:30 and arrive probably around 12:30 or 1:00. I know you told me where I should go but you think you could organize like a schedule for me and what hotels I should visit? etc lol XD

And, is going into Pebble Beach worth it? On saturday.

And, this is at the Casa Palmero? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=afAu3F23JMw

I have a schedule and you could use it if you want

From what I heard, there will not be a Bugatti tour this year which means Casa Palmero will not be filled with Veyrons.

Also I don't know if I have said this here or not but GO TO THE RACES. You will be very sorry if you waste all your time looking in hotels and stuff like that. The races are incredible and you will not be disappointed.

I actually might be going to the Lime Rock Park Historics Festival in Lakeville, Connecticut at the end of August. Do you think this is a good idea?

And yes, you've said that about a hundred times now XD

But are they free? I'm probably not going to anything that isn't free, except maybe the toll into Pebble Beach.

You're pretty much not doing anything but spotting. You have to pay to get into almost every event out there.

Yeah, I guess you can say that I'm not the most... financially privileged. It's worth it for the spotting though.

I went last year entirely for the spotting and it was the best week (4 days) of my life. I see absolutely nothing wrong with choosing that path and definitely don't consider stumbling upon hypercars on the street a waste of time.

That's what I'm hoping for. I'd love just watching supercars go by without even hunting them down.

Also since you'll be in the area, check here. This is the polo field, which will be full of huge trucks that load and unload cars. It's not likely you'd see much here on Saturday, but it's also right next to Gooding which has some nice spectator cars. [http://i.imgur.com/GL9vYwi.jpg]


Thank you :p

Lol, it's crazy how much you get photobombed by other exotics you didn't even see

On Saturday go to the races ( Rolex ). Then head to ocean Avenue in the early evening. Check the hilton and hyatt hotels and the spanish bay hotel after that. Sunday go to the concours all day and after the show check out the polo fields.
