For a while, we thought our last event of the year, the Holiday Party, was going to be cancelled just like the first event of the year, the Annual Tour to Big Sur. A big storm had passed through the area Friday night through Saturday morning, knocking power out to many areas including Pebble Beach. […]
We met in the Crossroads behind the Starbucks for a 10:00 start under clear blue skies. Steve Ponsi took the lead since Mark did it for the September tour. It took us a while to all get together, since after we stopped to consolidate, we took off into traffic. Heading south to Big Sur and beyond, […]
The Oktoberfest event on September 28th started for Monterey Bay Region at Chili’s in Seaside, where 9 cars left and headed north for Santa Cruz County. We rendezvoused with two other MBR members at the Summit Store on Skyline Drive, then continued on Skyline Drive to Highway 17, which we took to the Bear Creek […]
It’s complicated! This event was a replacement for our Annual Tour to Big Sur originally scheduled for February but cancelled due to a huge storm which made the roads impassable.

It was a beautiful Sunday at the Carmel Valley Community Park for Monterey Bay Region’s Concours in Paradise – not too hot, not too cold. There were over 70 Porsches lined up in the park. What a nice way to spend the day: preparing your Porsche to be judged or displayed; chatting with old and […]
On July 14, Porsche of Monterey hosted a detailing clinic for us at their shop. President Mark and another member volunteered their cars for demonstrations of how to spiff up a car by A Brilliant Shine, who explained what they were doing as they went along and had them take a stab at it as […]

The Wildflowers and Wineries Overnight Tour to Paso Robles was a great success. Despite some logistical challenges, we had fantastic drives, good weather and met some wonderful people. Many of the businesses we visited welcomed us with open arms and made us feel like family (even Hearst Castle!). Those who attended will have many great memories […]
