You picked the right show to take in as a comeback. The CCoA is one of the best during Car Week. Good car picks featured, too. Nice to see my buddy Donald O, there, too.

That is an extraordinary working display of automotive genius and design beauty. Stunning Alfa and I am so glad it was a VW touring van behind him at the start and not a very expensive rarity ! That blue E Type has my name on it for sure. What a magic car. Well done RMO you've done it again mate.

Hi Richard, wow! What a sensational collection of some of the finest model examples left in the world, and such a fantastic effort by the Carmel organisers to get all of these wonderful people together in one place. For me, it was the XK140 that stole my heart and I count myself lucky to live close by to where they were made. Warmest regards to you and your Dad 🙏👍🇬🇧

Hi Richard. Well that went very quickly! Virtually any of these could have been best in show! In the UK Mini Coopers had overriders with "nerf bars" that went from the top of the overriders to the top outside edge of the bumpers. Old English over Almond Green . I'm glad l didn't have to choose ! And the reverse lock out on that AC must have malfinctioned ! 😱😱 Well done you for being there ! Thanks Richard .

By the way, I wonder if the guy in the Cobra had to change his shorts after that gear selection,... I'd bet the guy i n the VW bus had to! Oh My Gawd, that was close!
