EVERYAUGUST, I MAKE MYWAYWEST TO CATCH UP WITH FRIENDS FORAWEEKEND combining work and pleasure- a rejuvenating event known as the Monterey Car Week. For myself and many others, the trip is a much-anticipated, even addicting, annual event.


My Monterey experience began Thursday in Los Angeles for the launch of the Italian Stampede rally to Monterey and concluded with the Pebble Beach Concours on Sunday. As the Italian Stampede’s name implies, this event is quite the spectacle. Seeing the group of beautiful cars together and being part of the event is an experience that is difficult to describe. Now in its sixth year, the Italian Stampede has become a regular part of the Monterey weekend program. With 100 cars in attendance this year, the rally was a blast. Including a variety of Italian cars, from a pair of Lamborghini’s latest Aventador SV’s to the La Ferrari, the group of supercars was an amazing sight. This year’s Italian Stampede, considered one of the best rallies in America, started at the O’Gara Maserati dealer in Westlake, where we encountered perfect weather. After registration, breakfast, mingling with friends, and a pre-drive meeting by the staff, the huge group of exotic autos got into a two-car-wide formation and started the drive.
