Hi Arde - thank you for your note. Not sure what the BHO reference is about, but I live quite the happy Libertarian existence here in Tucson. PM me and let me know when it is the next time you are coming to town.
Yes, I paid more than $20,000. I do not regret a single cent of what I paid.
Hi
Can't say I've been terribly impressed by the auction arm of Bring A Trailer (actually, quite pissed off).
However - the old project is live, for now. I may pull the listing as all I the bid level is navel lint, and I'd get more from a metal scrapper or a car donation charity (tax write off).

Awesome story, similar to my E3 purchase. BMW owners sense those that will treat their children well.......BTW that color I would never pick off a palette but damn it is sooo awesome on these cars. A huge congrads and you need to do something special for your nephew.
I still have an abused 1974cs Polaris in my driveway. I attempted to use a blog-cum-auction site, but the process and end result was far from professional. The long list of grievances have been sent to my attorney, as the bloggers ignored many requests to end the "auction". That silliness is over now, I think.
