Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

The Meadow Brook Hall Concours d’Elegance has arguably become the best classic car show east of Pebble Beach. Over the past 28 years this Concours has seen thousands of cars, hundreds of judges and hundreds of thousands of visitors and in all that time, one person has masterminded the ordeal. Don Sommer, founder of the Meadow Brook Concours retired last autumn as chairman of the Concours and handed the reigns over to Larry Smith; longtime judge, committee member and car collector himself.
With a new chairman came some changes, welcomed by committee members and participants alike. Along with an impressive list of new sponsors came a first-ever class of motorcycles. An extraordinary group of 32 four-cylinder two-wheelers displayed alongside nearly 230 fine pieces of automotive history ranging from turn-of-the-century brass-era cars to the premiering Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. Alfa Romeo was honored as the featured marque for 2007 and consisted of three dedicated classes. In addition, the visually stunning B.A.T. prototypes demonstrated just how advanced aerodynamic design had become in the mid 1950’s.
Rob Clements ventured out in rain and shine to capture the Meadow Brook Concours in a 160-shot slideshow.

I missed a good MB this year and it makes me sad.

So it is who I assumed it was...

Why isn't he around the forum these days?

[<AAA-MOD>]

i haven't been around the forums much since about May since two of my daughters have been playing competitive softball. I coach one of there teams as well, so between 4 games + practices per week, and a new home we bought back in March, I haven't had much spare time. I'm always in touch with W and assist with editing duties on UCP, but otherwise don't post much.

Now the ball seasons are complete and my wife and I are in Pebble doin that thing with Wouter and Pieter.

Stay tuned for tons of awesome stuff from Monterey.
