Gentlemen,

I found myself in the Bay Area this weekend and I'm thinking of driving down solo this morning or tomorrow morning to Monterrey to spend the day. Sadly, I have never been, so I am looking for recommendations. I would love to see the red heritage or Dave's if it's out and about today. I'd rather not drop $375 tomorrow for Concours because of late afternoon plans, but I am open to anything else.

Pretty sure Concorse is sold out tomorrow, but I heard some Forum members got tickets to events on Craig's list. The new Heritage was parked on Cannery Row last night with DBK' s NFGT. The Exotics on Cannery Row is in it's second year, and being a free event, was crazy busy. There is an event going on today at the Inn At Spanish Bay. I'm headed over there soon.

If you're looking to see the event just come on down to Monterey with your GT and tonight places like Cannery Row and Ocean Avenue in Carmel will have lots of exotic cars cruising around and driving the GT you become your own show.
