 Intel's 4th annual car party was a blast.  The Intel gent said, "no judging, no trophies, no worries and free lunch." 

So I said sure, happy to barge down the road in Kathryn's Queen Mary to Intel's campus.  Good music, dancing, bbq and fun, funny, rare and classy cars.  Jaguars were the marque at last week's Pebble Beach concours so there were plenty of Jags.  My fave old roller was the Pierce Arrow. And like Steve Earle, the man who started the whole Historic Racing thing at Monterey once told me, "we all want all of them."

Perfect for rolling up to the Magnolia Country Club after the party
