Car week continues! The Mc Call event I was never able to do it before, and I have to thank all the people involved to getting my tickets, as otherwise I would not could have visited, the entry fee is awful expensive…. especially the “judge” who granted me the ticket from his wife I want to thank very much!! wowh!!
McCall is a mixed car and airplane show for charity, what started as a BBQ for friends turned out to be a premier event worldwide!
Welcome on the red carpet!!
Jets and cars!
It’s a huge event, unseen!
Most exclusive all kind a cars and all exclusive all kind a planes, jet’s, fighters all of it… almost an overdose!
and VW buses… yes our VW friends in USA work hard to participate everywhere…:)
Cool electric bikes!
and many supercars!
Latest Hi Tech cockpit from a long distance jet…. wowh!
Crazy B52 was also attending…
We had a great evening!! wouldn’t mind to come back one day!!
Next morning was the Pebble Beach rally… all cars participating on the rally get more points at the concourse on sunday, so almost every car participate…
Out of several options we choose to see the rally in Monterra where they stop for breakfast because that’s the less crowded of all possibilities..
My favourite car of this event was this total original 356 A Carrera coupe…
But there was many other super cool cars as well… just a few of my favourites to tease you…
it was overwhelming again…. and if you’ve seen this, there’s no need to see the cars at the lawn of the 18th hole of the Pebble Beach links golf course on sunday, you’ve seen them all.. driving… so much nicer…
ok up to the next events… so many things going on here on only a couple of days!

The Concourse on the Avenue in Carmel really set off the whole Car week they have here in North California… the good thing is its free admission to the public…:) here are my impressions…:)
Many Porsches were out for the week!
Mike Mallemut’s black 51 is a real nice car!
Carmel is so pretty!
A 1950 Porsche…
My personal pic of the day!! a totally unrestored all original speedster in original paint, this car was bitchin’!!
Cool bus also belonged to Mike Mallemut, some guys have all the luck!
Spyder on the street, really well aged, but not a real one…:)
and we drove the 17mile drive on the Monterey Peninsula in the speedster… we had a lot of fun!! this is a must do in your life!! 17 mile drive is unbelievable beautiful!
Driving back through Pacific Grove we passed this bus, just sitting on the street… welcome to California!

Ok we left Southern California driving up North, for Car week… we decided to drive the scenic road, Hwy nr1 hereby some impressions…
we are not the only trailer on the road!
Ok, arrived in the bay area, first stop was Ron Chuck, a real legend on its own, tuned thousands of engines, top of the bill in the Formula Vee world, build transmissions and engines, all Volkswagen and Porsche… but especially he’s good to put Porsche engines on his dyno and set jetting and carburetors right…
Having my speedster over we decided it might be the perfect moment to take the engine out and have it over to Ron to give it a serious tune up!
setting the ignition…
and run the dyno…
Ron and yours truly, a historic picture for me!
Everybodies friend Tom helped to shovel the engine back in our speedster!
Ok almost ready to drive a car with Belgian regsitartion on Cali roads …let’s Car week begin!!
