It’s been a LONG time since I hosted the BBQ’s that started the annual WM, and it’s time I host again. Planning WAY in advance this year.

Volvo is not required to attend, just be here to enjoy the cars and company.

15 August 2025 at our home in Marina, CA (on the Monterey Bay). Address to be sent to those confirmed to attend. Real house this time, not our Carmel in-law unit or our dingy condo in Marina.

NOTE: This is during Monterey Car Week, lodging is expensive and hard to find locally. PLAN AHEAD. I have limited space at the house and it’s pretty much taken every year. Limited backyard camping, limited driveway camping. Talk to me and plan ahead if you aren’t local and want to come see car week.

I’ll be doing burgers and something delicious vegetarian too. Food is on me, BYOB.

Probably starting to cook about 6pm, which is when I expect to be home from our car spotting post-Quail adventure Friday afternoon.

Saturday AM is Concours d’Lemons, where I will go for a couple early hours, checking out the cars and coffee hosted by some friends across the street. Then to Laguna Seca for racing, then about 6pm over to Monterey Motorsports Festival to support my friend Paulo and his new show in its 3rd year.

Sunday is Concours d’Elegance at Pebble beach. I’m going, you are welcome to join. It’s it cheap, so plan ahead.

Be good guests or I will throw you the fuck out and drag you relentlessly for decades to come. Ask 740TANKDRIVER how it works if you don’t know, he acted like an asshole and got shown the way. Respect the home and its occupants and guests.

If you have special dietary restrictions this is at your own risk BUT I can work with you to accommodate.

If you don’t like dogs, don’t come. My dog loves here and it’s her house.

If you are local, please feel free to drop by.

I know I’ve got the regulars who are interested, anyone else?
 
Thank you kindly. I almost deferred my month of december jury duty until summer. Glad i didn’t. It’ll be great to see you and Russ again.
Also, the show and races have been on my dream list since i was a wee gearhead.

Well let’s make this happen! It’s pretty incredible.
 
Funny, I was just thinking of the last WM, and driving the Pozo loop. Dang that was fun. I'd love to come, atm I"m a def maybe as it's such a ways out. I shall try.
