interestingly enough...I had a customer about 8 years ago who built a white mid 30's Bentley with a Viper chassis/drivetrain who "made" me take him some laps on the road course at Putnam Park. Glad he didn't tell me till afterwards he had 800k in it...

Sorry, I am a car guy but don't like the "donks". The cars with the VERY large wheels...

Well hifi875 Dads car (#519) the orange with green flamed '52 Chevy certainly was soft...

That's the problem with auctions --- especially no reserve auctions --- you can really loose your arse as a seller.

Yep. They used to be reserve, now they just do the reserve stuff on real high end ones. Must be nice to name your price. When u have a well branded product...

The Barrett brochure should read : " sell your car here...sac needed"

I've done it 5 times...lost on the first one, won the rest.

One hell of a spectacle though. Damndest event I've ever attended...and I've attended a few...

I like it Bret! Especially the "sac needed" part.

My neighbor across the street takes 12 or 13 cars down -- and my buddy Mark Young takes another dozen plus down... they both do just fine. But they're in the business -- they have great "times" -- and they take the right cars.... They might lose on one or two and hit home runs one one or two.

A guy that takes one car down -- is on the wrong day or wrong time - OUCH.

I agree with you on the spectacle. Plus it's in Scottsdale! What's wrong with that?!

Regardless - looks like a positive start...

I recorded it, and the first day only took 35min to watch 5 hours of broadcast. Wednesday was a little better, more cars I was interested in, and it took about 50min to watch 5 hours of broadcast. I couldn't imagine sitting through the whole TV show. Fast forward is your friend.
