This week, I’m back on the Monterey Peninsula for two of the most spectacular automotive events on earth—Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. I review one of the most talked-about cars on social media: the Jaguar XKD, known as the “Little Red D-Type” on Instagram—a car whose restoration and racing pedigree stopped enthusiasts in their tracks. Then we shift gears to the Ringbrothers’ jaw-dropping Aston Martin build revealed at The Quail, a fusion of British elegance and American engineering audacity. From the soft morning light on the Pebble lawn to the roar of bespoke V12s at The Quail, this episode captures the artistry, innovation, and passion that define Monterey Car Week.
