INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
Come out and be present at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
FIRST SPECIAL VEHICLE
My husband and I have 1937 Jaguar SS100. Recently we did the Holy Land 1000 all through Israel. A couple of months later we did a big tour through Yorkshire. Sometimes, to me, my favorite car that we own is the car we just drove. This Jaguar really performed well for us.
BEST CONCOURS ADVICE
Keep an open heart and let the car speak for itself.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Most of my resources are people. I have a go-to list that I call if I need advice about a car.
RECOMMENDED BOOK
Anything by Beverly Rae Kimes
PARTING WORDS OF ADVICE
When you come to Pebble Beach Week in August, limit yourself to a certain number of events and pick your area of town so you’re not fighting to try to get everywhere. Bring layers, wear sensible shoes, and keep your eyes and heart open.
