I don't get why people are happy to pay more on BAT.
The auction atmosphere and information overload on BAT creates confidence and excitement. Can't get that staring lonesome at an ad.

I've met a lot of 996TT folks, the motor comes up for obvious reasons. Lemans has never come up. I guess we run in separate circles. If someone wants to think the base has any significant connection to the Lemans winner, great for them.

The motor was built for LeMans. If they don't know that well, they must really like those funky headlights!

We can agree the headlights are cool. Have a good one.

Haha yes of course, but you know that the only reason I think the headlights are cool is because they are the exact same Factory part number as the GT1 Evo headlights that won LeMans 🤑🤑🤑

I’ve spent the last twenty+ years sitting between the headlights and the taillights of the only Factory 911 to ever win LeMans. And a good bit of that time just in front of that same engine; albeit slightly detuned 🤣🤑

this one fetched nearly $30k all in today. As an aside, I think the days of nice 4s models in the $30s are definitely over.

Default We are getting close to classic category

At classic car show today, not a single p car but these were interesting, cobra 427 425hp at the wheels 1850 lbs. 1957 restomod corvette with LS1. Love the green 3.0 CSI 200 hp the guy bought the car in France 8 years ago, he also has a 1984 M635CSI, i had a 1985 black with tan interior that I sold in 2015 i wish I would have keep my shark. The lambo was extremely tuned 1,200 twin turbo, kind of need for speed car. Off course and IPA or two. I’m more into this since I got my car.





The lotus showed up towards the end but pretty cool car.



1953 MG
