Classic and super cars shot at Carmel-By-The-Sea downtown during the 2022 Monterey Car Week. This place was swarming on Thursday. Absolutely gorgeous downtown to have lunch and walk around. Downtown restaurants must have made a fortune that day!

Porsche Werks Reunion Monterey 2022

Annual gathering of Porsche owners during 2022 Monterey Car Week. Ever modern and fashionable Porsche cars from 50s to our days. Mostly original and in "better than new" condition. Every generation of every model! Rainbow of colors, especially on models from 70-th but new 20-th are trying to get back into the color game. My favourite 911 body of this year is 912.
