    BMW has just unveiled the Concept Z4 on the pristine, oil-soaked lawns of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. We’re expecting to see an all-new Z4 roadster in production form within the next year or so and this design study offers up a preview of what’s to come. After selling the gorgeous E89 Z4 mostly unchanged…

    Welcome to part two of my Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion coverage that’s only a year late. If you missed the first part where I explain why I’m just now posting some of the 2,300 photos I took during last year’s vintage racing gathering at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, I suggest starting there. The short story…

    At about this time last year, I was extremely fortunate to attend Monterey Car Week in California for a third time – a fortune I won’t be able to repeat this year, sadly. But with things gearing up later this week, I figured it would be the right time to finally post some of the…

    Onward with our continued “coverage” (in the form of massive picture dumps) of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Upon receipt of my media band and a photographer’s vest, you can be damn sure the first locked gate I bypassed was the Corkscrew’s. What follows are some highlights from Saturday’s Shelby GT350-specific (this year’s featured marque),…

  • Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion: Wandering the Paddock

    Unrestricted paddock access is arguably the best part of your admission to the Rolex Monterey Motorsport Reunion (“Monterey Historics” from here on out). We’re talking several acres of cars so incredible, seeing one on a random Tuesday afternoon, you’d tell your friends about it for a week. Walking the rows with one’s wife and kids lends…

    I’d be willing to argue that the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is the best event in the magnificent Monterey Car Week. Just imagine the kind of legendary cars you grew up hearing about, watching race, and lusting over being in your face and on the track in their natural habitat.…

  • Monterey Car Week Photo Dump: Dad's Best

    As something of an experiment, before we departed for Monterey, I gave my father one of my spare cameras and told him to take pictures of the stuff he found interesting. He’s not exactly a photographer, and he’s mostly a domestic car guy, so this has potential to be interesting. It’s an insight into the…

    Monterey Car Week is a truly wonderful thing. Tens of thousands of cars and enthusiasts from all walks of life descend upon the beautiful Monterey Peninsula to celebrate these four-wheeled methods of transportation that we all love.

    There were a good couple of handfuls of auctions going on in Monterey. You had the RM/Sotheby’s, Gooding & Co., Bonhams, Russo & Steele, Mecum, and some smaller ones dotted around the landscape. We walked around the Russo & Steele lot, ambled through a handful of the RM cars on the plaza, and attended the…
