Hello All,

Just got home from the first annual Carmel 100 Miglia. What a day. We met at the Carmel River State Park and proceeded through Carmel and Big Sur, then looped back and went through the famous 17 Mile Drive.

There were about 30 cars and I was the only Aston Martin. What a beautiful day for a drive. As some of you know its car week in Monterey so there were beauties everywhere.

Theres something really special about being with handfuls of Lambos, Ferraris, Lotus' etc and being the only Aston. Truly makes you appreciate how exclusive these cars really are, even among exotics. For those that are in the Bay Area, you should definitely go next year. Here is a link to the website and Im sure they will be posting photos and video soon. We had Club Sportiva and GoPro sponsor the event.

Here are a couple pics. Pardon the quality (iPhone)

 

Thanks posting the pics, sounded like a great day. Wish I would have known about it, would have been fun, and the weather has been perfect all week. Maybe next year.

 

AK, it was great to have you on the drive. Glad you had as much fun as we did!

Looks like we need to advertise on this forum too for next year!

Cheers,
B.

 

Sorry Korn, we will do a better job at advertising this next year. I started planning this 3 weeks before the actual drive, so a lot of things could have been and will be done better next year, starting with advertising! :-)

 

Borelli Motor Sports was also a sponsor and we are very grateful!

 

Korn,

We're doing it again! This time, I'm making sure you know about it! :-)

We're organizing the Fall 100 Miglia on November 10. A 100-mile drive from San Jose up the Santa Cruz Mountains down to Santa Cruz and back to Scotts Valley to visit Canepa Design's amazing Porsche shop and museums (more 917s than people will ever see in their life usually) and back to San Jose for champagne and finger food.

Check the website and the Facebook page for more details and to register!

We always need more Astons!

See you there!
