Barrett Jackson 2008 Wednesday pics
 

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 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/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 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/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! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I saw Tom B.'s car there...it was already covered up for the night... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

I think that this Chevelle was owned by the guy who owns the McDonalds at Pavillions?

Thanks Bruce for all of us who cannot be there. You always take the best photos. However, I should slap you for that "stupid sun" comment!!! Try a high of 7* on Friday! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

Re: Barrett Jackson 2008 Wednesday pics
 

Ditto on all the above...............(except the single digit temps hit us Saturday https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif)

Now enjoy some rest and family time Bruce. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Barrett Jackson 2008 Wednesday pics
 

B/J and Russo-Steele and the entire mid January Phoenix scene.........easily one of the BEST annual car shows anywhere!!!!!!!

For those of you that have never been to the Scottsdale area.......All I can say is "Clean, Clean, Clean".....Driving down the City Streets or on the Highway....It's spotless, and along the Highways, the normally Drab Cement is Creatively Blended with the Desert theme.....Beautiful .....Here are a couple of Highway Pic's

Another thing........There is a "Lot" for "Creative" wording in the Descriptions of the Cars....Very Deceiving....Buyer Beware......

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

Love the whitewalls! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif
