Marcos Maniacs

Don Lattimer with his girlfriend Tish, met me in San Jose in their 
new (1971)Marcos.  I was in my 1966 Marcos 1800 and together we drove 
down to Monterey/Pacific Grove for the British Car meet registration.  
We intended to drive over the senic Santa Cruz mountains but traffic 
was backed up so we went the longer but faster and less senic route 
down highway 101.  After we arrived we went to a local resturant 
called Tarpey's which is a favorite with the racing crowd party 
because it has good food and partly because it is near Laguna Seca 
race track.  We had lunch and spent the next couple of hours talking 
Marcos stuff.  Tish was a good sport to put up with all of this.  Don 
has a really neat Marcos which he practically stole from one of the 
founders of Silicon Graphics.  Both cars made the trip with no 
problems as we cruised at 80 mph.  The weather ranged from the high 
nineties inland to a cool 65/70 degrees inland.  We will post pictures 
soon.  Since the Palo Alto event was cancelled, we are going to try 
and get all the local Marcos Owners to meet at a British car show in 
San Juan Bautista on Oct. 20 and 21.  I can tell you that it is a lot 
of fun to tour with another Marcos. Judging from the amount of 
gawlking by the locals they liked it as well.
