I'm sure attending the event live must be a lot of fun and infinitely better than the TV coverage, which is just dreadful. Even with DVR the amount and length of commercials is staggering, and way to much of the coverage was the SPEED commentators blithering, they must believe THEY are the show, not the auction itself. And then they go back to the crap about how these cars are coming back as good investments..........its a hobby you dillweeds!!!! They seemed to cover Camaros, Mustangs, Chevelles, Corvettes, tri-fives and everything else we've seen a thousand times before, and very little else. Where's the unique and unusual? Oh yah, that segment was used for the many many NASCAR promotional segments (aaargh....). I for one am through either recording or watching any BJ event anymore. It just isn't interesting or entertaining.

Its better in person, the weather is great, the cars are cool, the food is awesome, and there are so many beutiful women, of course they follow money, on tv you have to keep the remote close to chage back and forth, it can be quite long.

I see... and that means further discussion about Tin Man's car is really not relevant to the topic of this thread. Thanks for the clarification.

Hey guys, if an FFR Cobra can sell for $66K, anything is possible.

And the guy who bought that should be shot, but you are correct, anything is possible. |

I was there a lot. Justin Bell looked like he was having fun everywhere he went. Especially around pretty girls. What a character! Great show addition. I also love the stage duo and Rick DeBruel. Car knowledge abounds there.
I recorded the entire Speed broadcast so I can speed through all the ads.

Trent, my youngest son, was on the stage last night when CSX 4347 was sold for $125,000. Said it was too crowded and noisey. I could have told him that.

Does anyone know if that was a "new" csx on mso or previously owned? That is the highest I have seen a csx go for in the last 2 years at an auction. Last year I believe 1 or 2 sold at the auctions in the 80's.

Its from Jimmy Richardsons collection, previously owned. It seems, guys like this. with lots of quality cars in the auction always gets a little more than the normal guy. |
