Not sure if this is helpful,but while re watching the auction on tape,the receiveing Telephone auctioneer(Pete Davis?)who has the bidder on the other end,looks directly into the Camera lens and says,"THANKS RICHARD,THATA BOY,THANKS RICHARD,THANK YOU",then gives two thumbs up.
The Narrators say that he was referring to the winner of the B/M Corvette.
It could have been an inbetween,but are there any well known Car collectors named Richard living in Las Vegas?

Yes.. it was Richard Simmons who bought the car.. He's hoping it'll give him a boost of masculinity....

"OKAY PEEEOPLE! LET'S START THE CORVETTE!!!"

(Vroom, VROOOOM!)

"OKAY, LET'S REV THE ENGINE AND DROP THE CLUTCH AND SEE WHAT HE'LL DO!!!"

(Mr. Simmons refers to all of his cars as "He.")

(VROOOOM, VROOOOOOOM . . . SCREEEEEEECH!)

"OH DEAR HEEEEELLLLLLLP---HAAAAAAAAAALLLLLP!!!!"

(Sound of rapidly-accelerating and very manly 427 Corvette fades until all is quiet. Richard Simmons' obituary appears in newspaper the next day.)

Bill..... that just seemed to flow out a little too "comfortably"...

Is there something you need to tell us?

It's Sunday, it's raining, my PST brake rebuild kit ain't here yet and the car's up on jackstands, I'm hungry, the wife's running errands, the kids are playing some water-mess game in the bathroom sink, and I'm bored out of my mind. Otherwise, everything's a-ok. Well okay, my first grade teacher, Mrs. Heller, did tell me back in 1968 that I had an "active imagination."

Bill,
How about an "over-active" imagination!

I just got done with back to back events...Barret Jackson followed immediately by the FBR (formerly the Phoenix) Open at TPC Scottsdale. Way too many days in a row at work! Wasn't all bad though, I got to eat (and drink) in the "Members Club" on the 18th fairway...gratis!

I met up with Seth Joiner, Roger Clemens,Phil Mickelson and various other people...ESPN radio was doing a show in back of our display!Here's a pic of part of our display.

So Bill, when you heading out this way?
