Barrett Jackson 2008 Wednesday pics

[Xplantdad]

I went to Barrett Jackson a bit later today...and met up with Ken and Paulette once I got there...actually just Ken for awhile...as Paulette was out and about http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ken and I hung out for the majority of the day...except for when I went into the media briefing (BTW, Barrett Jackson sure knows how to treat a guy right...free food...free drinks...all their press releases on a free 64mb thumb drive http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif)

During the press briefing...I was able to talk with Steve Davis. I'm sure that everyone has their own opinions of EVERYTHING that pertains to BJ...but my experience meeting Mr. Davis was a wonderful one..and the staff there is amazing.

SO for those who want to bash the whole deal from their recliner at home...having never attended...maybe things are better left unsaid?

Now to the few pics that I took today...as I was enjoying talking to Ken! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I thought $50k was about right for that L34 Nova, http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif It was a nice resto, a bit lacking on the details, but overall a nice job with a killer color.

Great picture as always Bruce. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif Kwizz, your sidekick is the icing on the cake!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif : Thanks alot! Its freezing here, Sam

My gosh I looked up and there was Holub and son, and Jensen.Obviously we had to call Jensen and tell him he looked 20lbs heavier on tv. He said the silver nova had a lot of paperwork, and looked pretty good. Also said he'd been drinking since morning. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
