If you hit the Monterey Peninsula and have an itch to get on with a car show after you check in to the Portola Hotel, The 13th Annual Little Car Show (for cars 1800 cc and under) is held along Lighthouse Ave in downtown Pacific Grove on Weds, Aug 16. It’s free and runs through 5 PM. The entrant cars then meet at Lovers Point to parade to Asilomar. Safe (and fun) travels to you Keith.

So… doing it again in my Citroen DS but this time it’s got a new paint job so we’ll be just looking for it’s first stone chip!
