Ahh! I was way off!
Yeah, that car looked good! Supposedly it's ELECTRIFIED! A V12 engine with an electric motor in the flywheel between the engine and the transmission! Personally, I'd prefer an all V12 engine car. But I'm told it drives really well and that you don't realize the electric motor is filling in the torque gaps.
Pebble Beach Monterey Car Week Photos
It's been a pleasure to meet so many WatchProSite members from all over the country (and a couple from different countries). Thank you so much for taking the time to meet! Some of us attended a special Bentley Motor Cars X The Macallan Scotch Whisky event...
Yes!
I didn't take a lot of photos! There were some SINGER Porsches. Totally didn't take a single picture of any Mercedes vehicles - although I should've taken a picture of one of the Maybach vehicles - it was in an interesting color combination. Too many kids...
Thank you!
The highlight was meeting some interesting individuals! Lots of fun was had at the Bentley X The Macallan event.
I used to be a Ferrari fan!
I used to buy into the hype, Ferraris, Ferraris, pedigree, racing history, Lamborghinis don't win races and the company doesn't really sponsor a race team (until recently). But after driving the Aventador and the Huracan I was just so impressed, the cars ...
Which one is your favorite Aquaracer1?
Something tells me you're a fan of pre-war cars like Rolls-Royce Phantom IIs and Mercedes-Benz SS 540K models. And post war sports cars...

Aha!
Like you, my preference is for 100% ICE. Some of my buddies own Tesla and Rivian, and are all about it. But I just can’t get behind all electric yet. I will likely be a slow convert, hey maybe in 10 years or so, but I doubt it 😂
I own a Tesla! It's not terrible! Not perfect, but livable.
I own a Tesla and while the brakes are terrible, and the gas pedal isn't hinged on the floor, and the glass isn't hydrophobic, and there's a lot of road/tire noise on certain pavements. There are a few other small problems too. But overall, despite all of...
575M for the win!
...and as an aside, as a golfer it is really weird to see a bunch of cars (however beautiful) lined up on the fairways of the most famous golf course in the world : )
I know, what a perfect way to ruin a golf course!
All those tires leave divots and impressions. Better not be on any putting greens.
Patrick, did you miss the piece de resistance? 😉

I did miss that one!
Wow. Just wow. These days... The brands are being very difficult to work with. The brands have a "public face" where the brand exhibits at a hotel. This year Rolls Royce exhibited at a hotel in Carmel Valley and a "private face" where the exhibition is do...
Ahh! It's a very expensive watch that comes in a big watch box!
The car being the watch box!
Oh, this is really mediocre coverage!
But thank you for saying so! I used to have more organized coverage and car reviews with each brand. But partially due to the pandemic, the loss of PR connections over the years due to the pandemic, the new way that Pebble Beach car week has become organi...
