Anyone else watching Barrett Jackson

[Guest]

Carroll Shelby's personal cobra set a new auction record - 5M. Not a bad present for 2008...

I started watching last night, but realized it was a rerun of last year's auction!

More hype!

This years' auction starts in about two weeks.

I found a 66 MGB in this years auction catalog for $24k (it has a split rear bumper, which I found odd). I'd sell my B in a New York minute for that price and it's FAR cleaner/nicer.

Barrett-Jackson is all about the marketing/aura.

I'd love to go in person but I'd blow my savings just as the entry fee to get in the premier auction tent..plus there's some rule in the bidders guide restricting EXCESSIVE DROOLERS!!!

You did better than me then - I didn't realise until I read this! Oh well, nothing else was on...

I still check in on the Reruns - Looking forward to the new one in two weeks to see how much the folks will overpay for vehicles. Seems more like a pi$$ing context but it sure is fun to look at the cars.

It's always nice to see those cars on the block!!! It beats a lot of what else is on!!

Not since they took away the speed channel /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

I knew it was a rerun, but it was worth it to see that Cobra go for 5 million again!

My neighbor came runnin' across the street to have me switch the channel. Not a "car guy" and saw the crazy prices. I told him the story of Brian & Company with the Bugeye. He immediately turned to the MG and said I should SELL it... naiveté, ain't it amazin'.
