Here's a snapshot of today's excitement at Barett Jackson's Scotsdale Arizona massive 5 day classic car auction.

The Auction takes place from 14th - 18th January.

Car sale times are from 10.00am to 10.00pm, which corresponds to 17.00 - 03.00 UK time (I think. Today's sale ended at 04.15 UK time; 11.15 where I'm watching it from.).

Ever since I bought my first Hot Rod magazine back in 1959 and my aunt in Florida sent me my first 'Car Craft' and 'Motor Trend' I've been fascinated by this stuff. It was and still is a world of power, colour and sunshine compared to the drab cars and monotone mags in the UK in those days.
