Rick - I was there last month in my Pantera. I can attest - it was off the hook! All sorts of crazy amazing cars. But if you get there at 8, you may not get a place to park. Shoot for 7:30 at the latest...

Oh, and cops everywhere :-)

Cars and Coffee / Blackhawk 7.5.15
 
I went this morning - arriving about 7:30 - LOTS of cars there already - looked like about 700 total - from hotrods to sports cars to exotics....RickJ

Monterey Car Week / Pacific Grove Concours-Rally
 
Monterey hosts 'car week' in August - too many events to list but a couple that I've attended in the past include the
"Pre Historic" Races - the 'warm up' weekend before the Historic Races - many of the cars that will be in the 'big' Historic Races held August 13-15 will be arriving early and participate in the 'PreHistorics' the weekend before - go to Laguna Seca on Saturday/Sunday August 8-9 and enjoy the cars racing on the track with very light crowds, little or no traffic, no parking problems and free access outside the 'fence' or a nominal fee of $20 or so to get into the garage area - very relaxed easy viewing of these great historic race cars.
.
and....The Pacific Grove Concours/Rally is on Friday August 14, and you can enter virtually any car you wish - the Concours is a 'light; event on Lighthouse Avenue from 1:00-5:00pm followed by a Rally around 17 mile drive and Pebble Beach and optional awards/dinner - it used to include downtown Carmel but the city imposed a very high fee this year so they've dropped that portion - still a very fun event and a rare opportunity to be "IN" one of the car week events. You can still register to participate at
Annual Pacific Grove Concours Auto Rally - download the entry form - fill it out and mail it in.
.
Werks Reunion - also Friday August 14 - starts at 7am - great Porsches available for viewing - no charge to view - get there early to find a parking place -
Werks Reunion - Second Annual Porsche Gathering in Carmel Valley, California - August 2015
Date: August 14, 2015
Time: 7:00am - 4:00pm
Where: Rancho Canada Golf Club
4860 Carmel Valley Road
Carmel, CA 93923
Breakfast and lunch available on site - more info....? - see:
https://web.pca.org/email_template/pca_werks_reunion_2015.html
.
Hotels are exhorbitant - many require multiple night stays and charge very high prices - try airbnb for options if you need to - if you're in the Bay area consider 'commuting' to various events -
.
other events......(dozens of them.....) see below for event listings....some costly....some entirely free:

List of local specialists ?
 
Hi, does anyone maintain a list of bay area (esp South bay) specialists - independent or otherwise? Looking for referrals for IMS refit, routine maintenance etc.

There's a few shops in the south bay if you do a search. None off the top of my head and i can't recommend as i don't have experience with any shops. I'd like to know the answer as well to the preferred "go to shop" for Porsche. I'm in the east bay btw.

Baudi 04-29-2017 01:47 PM

Thanks M_W. Here is what I found on rennlist.

Kahler's in Dublin
 
I've been using Kahler's in Dublin for my German cars (BMW, Merc, and now the Boxster). Hourly rate is kind of steep at $165, but they know what they're doing.
