Great articles you put in Sports Car Market magazine. The most recent about continuation cars was interesting!

Glad you like them. Not everyone liked the one about continuation cars. It caused a little "coMOTION" around here  
I'm sitting here writing my Arizona auction report today...

Colin,
Some "for what it's worth" feedback from a bidder/buyer at B-J.
We thought that prices were holding steady/strong at B-J for documented cars with no stories. The other 98% of the cars were flat or down slightly, but most still had the typical B-J circus premium as compared to Russo and Steele and RM. The buying experience is much more frenetic at B-J as compared to the calm excellence dispayed at every Mecum auction I've attended.
My partner and I bought the '66 Satellite Hemi at B-J with 1700 miles ($143K), and felt it was slightly under market considering the unrestored 'time capsule' that it is. Documented, real, and perfect!
I also bought the '64 Mercury R-Code ($99k) which is an excellent cosmetically restored, original interior car. Although exceedingly rare, I felt it was quite a strong price for a relatively under appreciated car. But, I had to have it!
My two cents.....

Only one threat of litigation in reward for my honesty per week, please
My next article is about how great anything from Nickey Chicago is...even the t-shirts are so much better than any others I own (Buy yours at Nickeychicago.net). I mean, they just make my car feel faster or something!

IS there a link to where we can find your articles "Mr. Go Cart Racer"? Hey I just realized...I didn't lose to you this year...but that's because we never got around to racing 
That's alright...Andy beat up on me this year  Nothing like broadsiding someone in a go cart at 30mph...LOL, not!

Yeah, we needed more than 2 guys to go racing!
I don't have a link, but, if you go to my website you will see a pull-down menu on the upper nav bar that says "Articles". Should be a dozen or so there. Also should be about 6 videos under the "Videos" tab if you really get bored

Litigation? We don't threaten litigation, but I will slap you in the face with a pair of Scalietti Ferrari Gloves and Challenge you to a heads up 1/4 mile at Super Car Reunion 10, if it makes you feel any better

BTW; I love the videos. I have viewed the one with the AAR, 440-6 and GTO about three times just so I could listen to the 440-6 idle; man that sounds awesome!
