Dick Anderson tipped me off on the cars coming thru Calistoga.  I saw 
some of them, and it was quite a sight.  Alfas, Corvettes, Jags, etc. 
etc.  Each car was stunning.   These are the toys of the Big 
Boys.  It was raining, and many of them had tops down.  Did not look 
like fun to me!
You might want to try to see the cars in Sonoma at the end of the 
event if you are interested.



The 2010 California Mille marks the 20th annual tour of California, 
which will begin April 25th on Nob Hill. The re-creation of the 
original Mille Miglia, an Italian road race, has been touring through 
<http://www.extranomical.com/HTML_PAGES/SAN_FRANCISCO_CITY_TOURS.htm>San 
Francisco for the last 20 years with the objective of traveling off 
the beaten path, discovering quaint little towns, experiencing the 
best dining and touring on the California Coast. On Sunday, April 
25th seventy historic race cars will arrive at Nob Hill from England, 
Ireland, Switzerland, Columbia, Italy and a dozen American states to 
take part in the historic journey.

A free car show introducing the cars and drivers to the public will 
take place on Nob Hill from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm on April 25th. The 
following morning, April 26th, the race will begin with all 
participating cars heading towards California Highway 1 north. The 
group will traverse back roads and pass through small towns on their 
way to 
<http://www.extranomical.com/HTML_PAGES/SONOMA_WINE_TOUR.htm>Sonoma. 
The historic tour concludes in Sonoma on Thursday, April 29th with a 
free car show and a chance to meet the drivers and talk to them about 
their travels. The final car show will take place at the Lodge at 
Sonoma on Broadway between Leveroni and Napa Road at 4:00 pm.
