[DeTomaso] Monterey Weekend

[pantdino at aol.com]

Since the gate ticket price for each was $100, which would you rather see, 1000 cars or 150?

I had planned to go to LDV but chose CI when I hadn't heard anything about what would be happening at the former.

Here in LA you can go to Best of France and Italy and see more than 150 cars for free.

I can't make 'value judgements' because I only attended Concorso Italiano.  
 I can give some raw statistics from which much can be inferred however.

Concorso Italiano had about 40 De Tomaso cars, including the Elvis Pantera, 
a Longchamp GTS and two Mangustas.   La Dolce Vita had four (4) Panteras.

CI had hundreds and hundreds of Ferraris.   LDV had nine (9).

Overall, CI had upwards of 1000 cars, and LDV had about 100-150.   Having 
said that, the two people I spoke with who chose to go to LDV had a good time 
and said it was a very nice, low-key show.   It certainly wasn't 'bad' in 
any respects.

It will be quite interesting to see if LDV returns next year or not?
