But, I think that a Vintage BDR has an extra cache because of the true artistry that Brian performs with his engine installations. Under the hood, the Vintage BDRs are works of art. All of the wiring, hoses, and mechanical appendages of the engine are perfectly arranged, embellished with taste, and carefully installed. I look at my engine compartment with as much joy as the rest of the car. Therefore, I think that a used Vintage BDR would be worth more than a non-Vintage BDR which, in my case, is entirely academic as I am never going to sell mine.

Oh I hope Brian's head still fits through the door on Monday
It's a craft, everyday I catch his new approach on what many would consider the same install. I hope someone can make it out to Carlisle this weekend and post a pic of his latest creation.
