California Mille: Blog

Some of the feedback we received

The 2008 Mille was great. I plan to do it every year.

What a combination: the Palo Alto Concours cars and the California Mille!

I think of it as my motoring bar mitzah. It was my l3th Mille. As long as I'm breathing, I'll be back again.

We look forward to being a part of the Mille for years to come.

The Mille seems to get better and better. I think some of it though, is due to the fact that after 11 consecutive years, Stuart and I know a lot of people now and it is great to resume acquaintance with them all, year on year. The route is critical, i.e. the driving experience aided by the first-class route book, is paramount. Others would wish to enjoy the wonderful and dramatic Californian scenery. Clearly the choice of lodging is vital; an incredibly difficult element to factor into the driving route in either area. The back-up support given by Conrad, Jere and Ed. enables us to drive confidently, knowing that congenial and expert help is at hand in the unfortunate event of a mechanical hiccup. Stuart and I love the camaraderie that develops amongst those who share a passion for old cars and for driving them.
