2018 AMELIA ISLAND CONCOURS 3/9 -3/11

2018 AMELIA ISLAND CONCOURS 3/9 -3/11

This is a top tier event.

I’ll be “representing” the proud GTR owners at the Cars and Coffee event Saturday on the main fairway.

They just annouced that the MB AMG PROJECT ONE CAR will be there along with the original Steve McQueen Mustang and a host of other dignitaries.

Stop by if you are attending.

I don’t have this problem but I can tell you from first hand observation, don’t fly your private jet down. Parking for those things is non existant. BIG MONEY shows up at this event and the airport has them parked wing to wing in all the possible places to park.

I hope the weather holds.

Best regards

There should be parking at the airport with shuttle service to and from the show.

PLEASE REMEMBER the Saturday Cars and Coffee event is free by invite only and there are TWO locations for cars. One is on the Amelia Golf Course Fairway where I’ll be and the other is in a paremiter parking lot. It’s a BIG event and lasts from 9:00am Saturday morning until 1:00pm. Then they throw all of the Cars and Coffee cars out so they can start getting ready for the main event Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday.

PLEASE BRING SUN TAN LOTION, WATER AND A HAT.

Hope to see you.

Looks like they're also going to have the Johnny Lightning Special, the car Big Al piloted to victory at Indy in 1971.
