Touching Grass in Bridgehampton; Alex and Randy's Picks for the Week

[Music]

The Bring a Trailer podcast.

Hello everybody and welcome back to the

Bring a Trailer podcast. Alex Porter

here coming to you from San Francisco

headquarters of Bring a Trailer. Joined

once again by Randy Nonenberg,

co-founder and president. Randy, thanks

for doing this.

>> Hey, I'm excited to chat today. Good to

see you. Alex,

>> you're fresh back from the bridge. Give

Give me the pitch. What is The Bridge?

The bridge is amazing. It's an event on

the east coast in New York on Long

Island. I had never spent any time on

Long Island. I don't know if you have,

but it is not easy to get there from the

Bay Area.

>> Everybody's frightened of driving the

length of it. That's what I knew about.

>> I learned that. I learned that. Um, but

anyway, the event is uh pretty

spectacular. I mean, one of the best

concour exhibits, most enjoyable that

I've ever been to. Um, it's at the

location of the former Bridge Hampton

racetrack, Bridge Hampton, New York. I

can't believe that they had a racetrack

back in the day that is on the side of

this slope that overlooks the bay and

like beautiful water view and it's like

kind of on the dunes on the hillside,

which is pretty spectacular. They've

unfortunately since been run out of town

because of noise ordinances for

racetracks.

They uh have put a golf course in there

where now they do a race themed concour

and it was super cool and it's halfway

down I'd say.

>> Oh, okay.

>> It's not all the way out. Montalk's way

out on the tip. We did a driving event

that went out there. So, they've kind of

turned it into a three-day thing.

>> Um there's a driving day, there's the

show day. And the cool part about the

show, this is the coolest part. The

thing was from 2:00 p.m. to 700 p.m. So,

it's not like, you know, all the

old-timers are out there with their

patrol 7 a.m. or whatever, which I have

no appetite for whatsoever.

>> Uh, it's evening because the sun goes

down and it it it like gets dark for it

to end. It ends almost sort of at dark

and so the cars are pulling out and and

headlights are on and they're like going

out on the former racetrack over the

dunes to depart. Anyway, it's really

really neat the way that they have it

set up. Super thoughtful event folks.

I'll go into that about like what makes

up the event, but um yeah, anyway, three

days of different things. The third day,

BAT was most involved in the third day.

We sponsored like a uh cars and coffee

type event. Come one, come all free

access in um Bridgeampton, the town, not

at the racetrack. This is in the town.

There's a main highway that runs east

west all the way along Long Island and

that goes straight through town, you

know, past the old churches and the

coffee shops and whatever. It's a little

village. You could imagine like a Fourth

of July parade sort of thing going on.

>> Is it small town?

>> And it's each little small town along

the way. And there's six of them along

the way all the way out. And some of

them are super swanky, right? Like East

Hampton is like gazillionaire land. And

then Monttok is like surf towny and

beach houses and families on vacation

and and stuff like that. lighthouse all

the way out on the end. Sick.

>> Anyway, people from New York are

listening to this laughing at California

trying to trying to explain the the

appeal of New York, but I was welcomed

in. I mean, I was a little bit of a fish

out of water, but I was welcomed in and

and there were a lot of eye opening

components to it. And I wish I had you

there and wish I had some other friends

there. Um, shared it with Howard and and

Zach and some of our team who were

there. Um, but anyway, there's a lot of

things to talk about. The event and how

it was run, which is like 10 out of 10.

>> There's how it uh compare and contrast

to other events that we're more used to

and maybe our audience is more used to.

>> There's the different vibes of the

different days we were there. And then

there's like topography and things to

visit and food and like vibes and

people. The people are different. Like

everything's different, right? So,

anyhow, as a first- timer, you can see

I'm talking as kind of a rookie. It was

my first time to both the area and all

the events. And so huge learning curve

and just joy, you know, everywhere you

turned it's like a different car that I

hadn't seen before. It's a crowd that I

didn't know and I got to, you know,

shake hands with. And then the little

towns, getting to see the little towns

was really cool.

>> Amazing, man. So, well, I guess maybe

the way to approach it then is like how

did you experience You flew into JFK.

>> I flew into LaGuardia, which is right

north of there. Yeah.

>> Okay. LaGuardia. And then you drove out.

>> I rented I rented a Jeep Wrangler. I

fantastic. I landed at 8:00 p.m., right?

Right. It took me all day and time

changed to get out there and then I

drove 2 hours from there to get to

Bridgeampton. Right. So, I mean, you

drive like a ways. You just keep going.

>> Uh, and if you had to get to Montalk,

that's another whole hour. So, it's like

3 hours end to end to drive Long Island.

And I drove twothirds of the way out

there to where Bridgeampton is, which is

crazy cuz they So, this racetrack, it's

just one of the better racetracks in the

region. It's actually, dude, you the the

history of it. They were running a

little museum exhibit with videos of the

old track and posters and paintings and

stuff. Two major claims of Bridge

Hampton, which is RIP, I think in the

'9s.

>> It's Road Course originally, right? SEC

Road Course. Road Course. Uh, and they

uh first like official racetrack in

America. That's one of their claims.

>> What

>> is that possible?

>> I mean, like before the Brickyard. I

don't understand how that could

>> But early early stuff,

>> right? like unpaved like dirt roads

>> and then or road course. Maybe they

called it road course cuz that's

different than

>> they're getting a little tricky with

words.

>> Yeah. Yeah.

>> But no, they stake some early claims.

Also, first place a Ferrari ever raced

in America.

>> Oh, well that could be cuz it it could

be 1950 or something like that or 49.

>> So it's not earliest cuz that would be

like 1900 race. It's not that. It's but

it's Yeah, maybe

>> Henry Ford was racing in like 1899,

right? First paved race. Anyway, there

were a few bold claims made. I love

>> and I love it too. And um anyway, they

had cool stuff. But yeah, they were

shown in the early days very analogous

to Road America, right? Like there was a

city there was a a through the streets

of the town course which killed a bunch

of people and so we built a racetrack.

Yep.

>> Right. And there was nobody there.

>> Pebble too. Pebble and Laguna same.

>> Totally. So it's all all these guys were

doing killing people the same years,

right? And deciding totally

>> somebody decided to buy a pavement

>> MGTC brakes didn't work out. Yeah,

Curtis, your Curtis goes flying into the

audience. Not ideal. So, they all came

to I wonder if they actually came to the

conclusion together or they all

>> it's all like 52 is like when they do

it. They start in like 49 and then 3

years later they're like we need a

dedicated facility

>> and somehow in Italy they let him do it

for six more years before it killed

hundreds of people. Right. So, it's

>> in Mexico those last few years. Yeah.

Mexico. That's why I have to wonder like

weren't any of these people talking to

each other or were they all little

microcosms of these races?

>> Well, from what I understand the SECA

was kind of its own little culture and

it was kind of like East Coast elite

type dudes, right? And so it makes sense

that they would have one pretty close to

New York, right? Relatively close.

>> So anyway, I was raving when we were in

Wisconsin about, oh my gosh, Briggs

Cunningham raced here. Well, this is

like his home turf. I mean, these dudes

were out there running cars,

>> sailing out at Newport, racing a

sailboat and then racing the sailboat

from the pits. That's the pref that's

the preferred setup.

>> So, anyway, they had a great setup, but

it was very similar. Reminded me of you

and me talking about those other tracks

and those other stories. Anyway, so they

did all that

>> and some super cool claims of what had

been done. I mean, they ran Can-Am

there. I mean, they ran fast cars there

back in the day and then eventually it

faded into club racing and then it faded

into golf course.

>> Is there any piece of the track left?

>> Yes, there is. So, the front straight is

like a golf cart path now. And I was

looking at I was like, it's too narrow.

How can that be a front straight? But

some of the concrete is still there. And

that's where the pits were off to the

side. And so, you can kind of, you know,

if you held the map in front of you, you

can kind of piece it together. But they

maintain one bridge

>> over it that's still there. It's this

old, you know, rickety like racetrack

bridge from the '7s.

>> Oh, is that the name? Hence the name of

the event.

>> Uh, I mean, the town's called Bridge

Hampton. I don't think it, but it but

yeah, it fits the brand.

>> The bridge. They tried to keep one of

them. And then

>> there's turn one and what supposedly you

can map it out if you go if you go ride

around the property. But yeah, I drove

straight up the front straight, which is

super cool to see that it's still there.

>> Did you rent a golf cart to do that?

>> No, that was in the Jeep. I was pulled

into the event. Parking was like on the

fairway, so I I drove straight in. And a

lot of cars when they were exiting are

coming straight up this deal which is I

have a picture of a Boss 429 that was

pulling out sitting there idling sun's

down in the background and it's on the

Bridge Hampton Front straight. I mean

that's that's pretty neat. That's pretty

different than

>> you know you get a lot of car shows that

are like on some random golf course cuz

I mean it's nice and it's it's green and

it's the aesthetic's nice often times

but this this had sort of a different

connection to it which was

>> right cuz it's the place where the track

was itself. So first day is drive you

said or what what's the order of

operations?

>> Yeah. So the advanced day I guess maybe

they I mean you go all the way out there

and like you don't want it to just be an

event from 7, right? And a lot of people

bring cars and then they have spectators

and so whoever's behind it like

>> has the wisdom to kind of make a weekend

out of it. So yeah, they uh did the tour

of Montalk on Friday which is just a

route you know it's a drive from

breakfast to lunch basically. It's not

like you're going to go out some, you

know, crazy route. There's just

beautiful coastside driving and a couple

little light hills here and there to to

to trundle over and but a lot of guys

brought a bunch of heavy cars, bunch of

modern supercars and then some super

early vintage stuff and uh I did it in a

964 that borrowed uh from 1600 Veloce.

They had a 964 turbo that I got to

drive.

>> Yes, brother.

>> Which was super strong.

>> Yeah,

>> super strong like that. And uh yeah, we

got to drive some fun cars and there

were great cars on the event,

>> man. Sick. So, it's all over the place

in terms of cars. Zach sent me a picture

of a supercharged Duesenberg. So,

there's kind of classic concourse stuff.

But are the like hypercars and modern

cars, are those part of the concourse,

too, or those are just like kind of

there because the people are there.

>> So, here's the thing. It's kind of a

garden party. The whole thing is cuz

there's no awards. There's no like

announcer going like and now the there's

no judges. There's no nothing. It's a

cool assemblage of just awesome cars

from all over the map and from all over

genres and they kind of group them and

it's kind of curated. But I think it's a

different feel of a show for that

reason, right? There's no like pressure.

There's not guys polishing chrome.

There's not,

>> but they roll them out and and I guess

the vibe is like

>> just an impressive mix of stuff you

don't see all the time. So the the guys

that organize it, I think it's I think

it's pretty rare to get invited, right?

I mean, you kind of get invited to show

your car and they group them together

however they do, but it's more sort of

experiential. A lot of people the whole

time, and don't let this color it for

you, uh, are saying it's the East Coast

quail. And I was like, no, it's not. I

was the whole time I was pushing back on

that analogy because yeah, it's not a

swinky golf course and yeah, there's

oysters everywhere or whatever, right?

But there's nice food and there's nice

hospitality, but

>> maybe it's like quail 10 years ago,

right? I mean, like Quail now is is

corporate. It's like brand brand car

launch. Like everything is like Porsche

USA has this huge experience and I mean

all all that stuff. There's no auction.

There's no I mean there's a couple

supporting sponsors but like two of them

right Benz was there and they had some

heavy cars or whatever so that's cool

but yeah it wasn't super brandandy which

I actually really liked it there were a

few of them and they were kind of

presented in an easygoing way but yeah

it was kind of garden party you know

people were dressed up really nice so I

like that but it was distinctly

different from a pebble or a concore

right and it's not in the name they're

not like it's not a competition it's a

it's just a hang but pretty cool I feel

super lucky to have gone. I would say uh

yeah, anybody should try to go if they

can wrangle. It's one of these deals

like Quail, which an expensive ticket

and it's a nice deal and it includes

lovely hospitality and like you know

open bar for everybody and beautiful

food spread all over hundreds of yards

apart. So it kind of guides you on

walking through all these cars

>> and that just makes it really enjoyable.

Everybody was like I was like, "Man, is

it always this good?" I was like, "It's

pretty good." And they're like, "Well,

you caught great weather and you caught

this and that." But they're like, "Yeah,

it's pretty good around here." I was

like, I I believe that. So, anyway, I

was pretty stoked on it. And the

organizers, I should shout them out.

They were lovely. Um, and were super

psyched that B was there to be part of

uh any part of it, but certainly the

third day part of it, which was fun,

which I should also describe what the

third day was like. But yeah, I mean,

it's a pretty high-end scene out there,

right? I mean, it's kind of not super

approachable, I would think, for a lot

of even like me just rolling out there.

Like, I didn't know that many people and

I was just never been to the area. like

where do I stay? How do I get there?

Like what what's the what do I wear? You

know, like all this stuff. I was kind of

trying to figure it out.

>> And thankfully everybody's pretty easy

going, you know. There were people that

were casual and then there were people

like super decked to the nines, you

know, and but everybody was friendly and

I mean the cars were really really neat,

man. I mean it was pretty crazy stuff.

1600 Voce brought 15 Ferraris which was

totally crazy and there was like a

muscle car. I mean, there was a really

nice 65 Shelby and vets and Camaros and

stuff all sort of huddled in one spot in

a in like a Mopar drag car, like a 426

wedge car or something.

>> And then there was a whole Porsche RS

section, which was cool. And then there

was

>> like Itarini Italian section that was

cool. So, I mean, it was unusual cars

you wouldn't see every day. And then, I

mean, there were some sort of mainstream

stuff. There were like 356 coups or

whatever, right? But then there was some

deep cuts, which I like seeing. There

was a Oh, maybe we'll pull it up on BT.

I should know the name of it. What's

that early Volvo Cabriolet that has like

a snout like an anteater nose on it? You

know what I'm talking about?

>> Uh 1900, something like that.

>> You know what I'm talking about?

>> Yes. There was one on Howard's event

long time ago when I first started at

BAT and

>> who was I with Patrick or somebody was

like, "What is that?" I'm like, "That's

a Volvo." Totally.

>> And they may even be coach built. It may

be like a pin and freno when pin

andfreno was two separate words or

something like that. They're not the

prettiest car in the world, but they're

interesting.

>> They're super interesting. And I was

trying to remember if I'd ever seen one

in person at all. I've featured them on

BET because anytime one of those comes

around, you got to feature it if it's

for sale, right? Super unusual car. But

I was there with a buddy who is like

deep into coach built oneoff type stuff.

And he's like, we were just mid, you

would have loved this. We're mid

conversation. Uh there's a buddy Tom

Hail. Shout out to Tom Hail. He's a

clever fellow. And he's like mids

sentence. And he's like, oh. Oh, and

clearly we're going to go talk about

this Volvo Randy cuz this is maybe the

most unusual car here.

>> And yes, that is the

>> P900.

>> P1900. There it is.

>> So, there was a white one of those and

it was like perfectly restored and it

was front and center. Volvo had a little

sponsorship or display or something

going on and I was very pleased that it

got top billing,

>> right? So, that's kind of gives you a

little sense of the show that sure

there's like a Veyron there or whatever.

There was a McLaren F1 there or

whatever. But this thing, this unusual

Volvo, I don't I have no idea what it's

worth, but it's super rare. Do Do any of

our writeups say how many were made?

>> 68.

>> Yeah. Okay.

>> First 19 were built by Glass Par.

>> There you go.

>> I mean,

>> oh, it's a plastic car. They're not.

Okay. So, they're not coach build metal.

>> Volvo got the idea when he saw the

Corvette.

>> Okay.

>> So, it's all in that it's in that like

plastic, you know, like the Kaiser

Darren era, right? like build a

interesting car out of fiberglass that's

really funky looking.

>> Yeah, it has a forward tipping hood. Tom

pointed out when we were sitting there,

if you look at the front shots of it, it

has little piano hinges on either side

of the grill and the hood will pop up to

the front.

>> Amazing.

>> Anyway, so that sort of thing was there,

right? So

>> that's more interesting than a Veyron to

me.

>> Totally. Me, too. And that's why I'm

saying that, right? I mean, you kind of

you're you're like, "Okay, we're going

to the Hamptons to a car show, right?

It's like, okay, how many colors of Enzo

are going to be there?" Right? And I was

like, "Okay, that's cool. I mean, that

that stuff's fun and and some of that

stuff was there,

>> but that car pulls up and it's like, oh,

wait a minute. We can have a

conversation around some real weirdness

there."

>> So, of course, we're going to talk about

So, I went up and I had a cocktail next

to that car. We like investigated, you

know, all the details of that car, which

are numerous and very weird.

>> And so, anyway, that was super fun. And

you could have found 20 things like that

all over the place to go talk about, but

also side by side with more things you'd

sort of expect, you know? I mean, the

Lambo Count Talk exhibit, I think there

were eight or nine of them in any spec

you want, and you just you're like, do

you like wing? Zach and I had a funny

funny little deliberation. Do you like

wing? Do you like Euro bumper? Do you

like those wheels? Do you like gold

wheels? Do you like what do you like?

Take your pick. Right. And that's fun.

That's actually really cool because you

don't always get that opportunity to

kind of compare like here's all the

different flavors of this thing and it's

not just different colors like they that

car changed a lot over the time that it

was built. So that's rad.

>> And somebody had the wild hair idea to

get a

only yellow 993

GT and high-end cars of every variant.

So right next to each other there was an

NGT RS. There was a 96 RS with the big

wing, 95 with the small wing, there was

a C4S, and there was a turbo. They were

all in fly yellow and they were all

sitting right there. And you could kind

of compare and contrast like all the

weirdness of them. And obviously that

was intentional,

>> but that's really good curation.

>> That's not just who.

>> No, no, no, no. That's really good

curation, right? Cuz it makes it an

interesting talking point for your

visitors.

>> Totally. So I stopped and I looked at it

and Zach and I argued over whether Big

Wing or Small Wing is better for, you

know, we we never agreed. And you know,

you just sit there and it's just kind of

like, wow, that's cool. And then we got

to see all those cars pull out which was

very very cool, right? And then there's

Vlarero or whatever it's called like

like uh a bar, you know, Fiat race cars

that are there and then you get to go

debate those cars, right? There's a

pretty 904 that Autoport Designs

>> had previously sold. I was sniffing

around that car to try to figure out who

had that and where that car is now.

>> It's over with some black and steel

wheels. Yeah, blue car

that was there. I enjoyed that. So,

anyhow, I could go on and on and on

about the whole Rolodex of all the cars,

but super cool folks, some like star

sightings and like fancy people

sightings, which is always kind of fun

and just really well executed. Like we

put on BAT event, so I'm always tuned in

to like, okay, how is this event going

to roll out? How do they do this? And

how much does it cost? So, first of all,

the fac the facility is like lights out,

but like I was joking and I'm always I

don't know, maybe maybe this is more a

signal of me than anybody else and how

they're doing their events, but like the

guys in the parking lot like directing

you where to park were like put together

and shirts tucked in and spoke really

nicely and welcomed you and whatever.

And this is the guy like 12 people

removed from the

>> not like the rental guy who's like so

upset that he's there.

>> He's like, "Why am I here?" No, they're

they were all just like super buttoned

up. Anyway, they had done this before.

This was the ninth edition, the bridge

nine, and it was terrific. But yeah,

anyway, I can answer questions or I can

uh tell you about the third day was

cool, too.

>> I want to hold on a few questions. I do

want to hear a third day. Uh one, was it

crowded? Were there a lot of spectators

there?

>> So, there was they shuttle people in on

coaches to bring them in. Uh you don't

like drive into the little golf parking

lot. Like, there's a lot of interest.

Few thousand people there, right? Like

enough that it was like, wow. Uh but not

a stadium full of people there, but

yeah, I mean well attended and um but

you wait you wait behind two people to

get some awesome food at every station,

right? So it's not like

>> it's overrun with people and the cars

are very spread out. There's moments

where

>> from one show car to the next show car

is 25 yards, right? So you kind of walk

up and walk to the next car. They got so

much room. They were probably only on

around the clubhouse and then two golf

holes or three golf holes or something

like that. So, it's not like they're out

of space. They could spread it out even

more. They just don't want you have to

walk 2 miles, but it's not car car. It

doesn't feel like a parking lot on the

grass sort of vibe. It's very spread out

and the cars are, you know, rotated

around and such that it doesn't feel

like a parking lot on the grass. It

feels like a spread out deal that you go

stroll through, which is cool. That is

fun. It's like you're taking a walk and

kind of coming upon them, which is rad.

Is it like straw hats and blazer

program?

>> There's straw hats and blazers. Yeah,

there's everything, man. I mean, there's

like, you know, leisure cash folks and

then there's folks that you're like,

"Wow, that guy's outfit is very

expensive. I don't know. I don't He's in

his lin."

>> Totally. I mean, all the all the things

people that just stepped off an airplane

from something very metropolitan. And

then there's people that are kind of

there in their dusty Land Rover, you

sick. But uh yeah, it kind of brings all

types in.

>> So it's in the afternoon, which is

weird. It's hard for me to like imagine

this not in the morning.

>> I had a great morning though, dude.

Right. You you sleep in a little bit,

you go to some

>> You're in no rush if it's no rush.

>> People are like, "Oh, you going to the

show tomorrow?" You're like, "Yeah."

You're like, "Okay, cool." Like, "Where

are you going to lunch before?" Like,

"I'll catch you there." You know what I

mean? I mean, it's

>> it's very different.

>> I actually really love it. I'm fully I'm

fully on board. I was even on West Coast

time still, so I was a little out of it,

but I was appreciative that it wasn't a

6:30 a.m. start to go get the

>> 3:30 your time.

>> And so we know people that were setting

up cars and staging car. It also eases

up the whole setting up cars thing cuz

you set up cars the whole morning before

the public shows up, right? So anyway,

somebody has thought this through and a

lot of that I found was

>> they just kind of do it their own way.

It's like you could ask them why they do

it that way, but if you just enjoy the

heck out of it. Like obviously this is

kind of a neat way to do it. So they've

>> done it correctly.

>> It's different than Pebble and it's

different than Quail and it's different

than, you know, Moda Miami, all that

stuff. Everybody's got their flavor, but

these guys kind of found their own

flavor and I respect that.

>> Man, that's awesome. So were you there

pretty much from 2 to 7? Were you there

for 5 hours?

>> Yeah, totally. Burn the whole thing.

>> Whole thing. You park and you kind of

stroll in and it doesn't matter if

you're a little bit late, you know, and

I'm sure some people vacated earlier,

but I stayed till it was closed down.

Actually, the end of it was my favorite

part cuz everything fires up.

>> Cuz everything fires up and people start

leaving. You get to see them in motion,

right? And they eventually chase you

off. Like it was 720 or something.

They're like, "Okay, get out of here."

Like these yolked up like security bros

are like, "Okay, head to the vans." And

I was like, "Oh, bummer."

>> But you understand why they do that. You

can't have anybody like linger around.

The show's over. People are playing golf

the next day, I presume.

>> Uh maybe they put it back together for

that. Yeah. But even more than that, you

get to see, you know, all those Lambos

like kick their doors up and and the

headlights go up. You know, you see an

LM2 like driving over this dune to get

out and stuff. I really like that part,

too. You don't see that at a lot of car

shows.

>> Yeah, that's so sick, man. All right.

Well, you're doing a good job of selling

it. Now, tell me about the cars.

>> I'm an unpaid uh sort of marketing

person. They are not a sponsor, but I do

Yeah. I hope to get on back. 1600 Veloce

has been involved there since the

beginning of that show and obviously

we're in very close partnership with

them and so they kind of hosted me for

the weekend. So if I owe anybody a

thanks, it ought to be a shout out to

them as well. But I'm just kind of

calling Balls and Strikes, you know? I

mean, it's a show I've never been to. I

obviously have a experiential sort of

bias to a bunch of stuff that I've done

a million times and seen how it's been

done. And it's just cool to see a

different take on it. And I don't say

it's better or worse, but it's its own

thing. People are like, "Randy, why are

you going all the way out there to go to

that show?" And I was like, "Well,

>> I was one of those people."

>> There's some cool There's some cool

folks out there that I wanted to touch

base with and see just I'm into checking

off new things and like I had never been

to any of that area before, you know,

obviously never eaten at the

restaurants, never seen the beaches,

never, you know, the lighthouse. I drove

my rental jeep all the way out of the

end of Long Island to check that off.

Eastern most point in New York, I heard.

>> Yeah, that's probably right.

>> Got to hang with some of our crew and

see some cool cars. It must be so

refreshing, I guess, is how I would

phrase it to

after all the things you've seen and all

the things you've done in the automotive

world to see something done a little

differently. I can tell you're kind of

jazzed up by it, right? The fact that

it's its own thing is pretty refreshing

after you've done this many things.

>> Yeah, absolutely. I think that's true.

And I've gotten a lot of sort of

invigoration in the car world around

going to like writing out a list of cool

things to go to and try them out places.

I have Wisconsin, right? The whole Road

America weekend, I had never done any of

that before. This thing, I had never

done any of it before. Uh, couple years

ago, I did Lemon Classic. Had never done

that before. And the whole thing is like

so sensory overload awesome because I'm

into the travel and the transfers and

the how do you get there and what car do

you rent and like

>> who are all these people and like what

times it start? You're a little out of

your comfort zone because you end up

late and in the wrong place at the wrong

time and you can't make it work and you

miss your train and blah blah blah. All

that sort of stuff happens. But for me,

it's really fun to be able to say,

"Yeah, I've seen that part of the world

and I check that out and I high-five

some people and it was different." And

also, all the cars that show up are a

different set of cars, right? This gets

back to the uh I mean, I talk about it a

lot, but the Overcrest Bros with their

ethos of doing a car event, but you do

it in a different place every time,

right? And it sets you on your heels a

little bit because you're like, I don't

know where this you got it on a map, but

you've never done it. So, anyway, I I

think that's cool. That's not for

everybody. Some people want the same

right

>> routine and stay in your own bed and

like at your own show and those are

super cool too, but recently I'm on this

kick of checking off places and things

I've never done before. So, this was on

it.

>> Freaking awesome, dude. Um, so

>> the Hamptons, dude, is there there's got

to be some bad television about that

geography. Is there like a Real

Housewives or something? That whole

zone. There were some people walking

around that were fancy, right? I mean,

there's there's fancy stuff out there. I

drove down. I mean it's Gatsby. This is

the 100th anniversary of Gatsby is this

year, right?

>> Yes. So anyway, that whole jam

>> West Egg and East Totally. Can you pull

up Red Fin or whatever in your zone and

like look at like the estates for sale

for $100 million or whatever, right? I

mean, there's all that stuff's going on

and and it's kind of fascinating and

sometimes that stuff's a turnoff, but

there's some aesthetic to it that I

really liked. Right. It was kind of

English countryside hedge roads and and

>> Tell me about it's like rolling like low

rolling hill. It's minimal. It's sand

dunes. There's not a lot of there's no

mountains. Um there's a couple of you

know a bridge that's a grade

>> and you're on the southern part of Long

Island.

>> The highways all the way along the

southern beaches, but the beaches are

mostly private until you get out to the

end, right? Cuz the houses all sort of

own the beach in front of them. So if

you want to go to the beach, you drive

all the way out to the end.

>> Did you go onto the north side? And can

you see Rhode Island and Connecticut or

is it too far away? The race course is

on the north side.

>> And Sag Harbor and those sort of things

are on the north side and so you're

looking across. I say it has an ocean

view, but it actually has the water

between New York and Connecticut view,

right? And so there's a bunch

>> Shelter Island is out there. There's a

bunch of these places. Anyway, it's

cool, man. I mean, I'm a I'm a West

Coaster through and through and it it

was very very cool. But everybody that

was there also interesting said, "Don't

come out here in July cuz it's mob full

of tourists. You can't even move." And

obviously winter it all closes up like

nobody's out there, right? So this was

kind of the perfect split the uprightes

got the weather. I guess a couple years

ago it rained pretty hard at the event.

This year it was blue skies and and 72

degrees. It was it was

>> super nice for the Volvo convertible. I

don't know how it would have fared in

the in the rainy year.

>> Uh can you see Connecticut? Is it that

close or is it like

>> I saw some land mass out there? I

associated it with Connecticut, but

maybe

>> it's to the north. It's weird for us,

you know, West Coast boys. You know, the

ocean is always to the west and that's

where the sun sets and it's all

backwards there.

>> Why is the sun setting over land? This

makes no sense.

>> Up is down. Down is

>> totally totally

>> awesome, dude. So, 1600 loi had all

those Ferraris out.

>> One of which was live on BAT. There was

a 365 GT that is burgundy coupe that is

live on

>> Oh, rad right now, which is a sweet car.

>> Uh, that is a sweet car. You saw that?

So, that was at the I'm not supposed to

call it concourse. That's at the fancy

show. But then they brought the same

cars out to the Is it like a different

group of cars or a lot of the same stuff

that comes to the cars and coffee on

Sunday?

>> There was some cars that were the same

and were at all three. There were BET

alumni cars on the lawn on the drive and

at the Cars & Coffee and there were

different subsets. Oh, dude. Man, I can

go off on individual cars if I want some

of that.

>> So, the next day is in the town of

Bridgeampton next to the museum where

they have all this car memorabilia track

memorabilia stuff which everybody should

go see. And it's like a little east

coast downtown with like a little

courthouse over it. Okay, great.

>> A white Yes, there's a Presbyterian

church that is I took a picture of the

sign. It was built in 1630,

>> right? Everything's so much older than

California.

>> Totally. There's a little strip of shops

and one's a swanky restaurant you can't

afford. And one's a coffee shop

>> and lobster rolls. Just lobster.

>> There's lobster rolls. And then yeah,

there's an art gallery and there's a but

then there's like a

>> a shoe shine setup, right? I mean, it's

not all like unattainable. It's like

east coast little old towns have an

interesting

>> unapproachability and led

approachability to them, right? And then

there's a gas station on the corner and

there's whatever. The little hotel I

stayed in was old old and not expensive,

but you could go and stay at a coastal

resort that'll you break the bank,

right? It's it's kind of got it all.

>> But anyway, the show was in a field or

something. I don't know how they got

this little barnyard. And uh yeah, we

had a BT tent and a 1600 Voce tent. And

um this was fairly well publicized cuz

it was people that weren't at the show,

right? I mean, it was people cruising in

a few heavy cars. There was a BMW M1

that rolled in, but then there were like

TR3s and MGAs and mellow cars just for

the cars and coffee.

>> Just locals for the cars and coffee. Not

everybody goes to the show. I I feel

like the show may be a little

>> exclusive. I think it sells out and it's

expensive, right? But this next thing is

free. Uh there's food for sale. So if

you want to do like a donuts or

breakfast or whatever, you can do that.

But then, yeah, somebody rolls in in

like a heavy Ferrari, but then one of

the best cars there, dude, is uh BT

alumni

60 uh five or six uh Wimbledon white

Mustang coupe, Sacramento Ford frames on

it over New York plates. Guy bought it

on BAT. I watched this car on BAT. I

mean, you notch white, red interior,

rally pack, V8 stick.

>> Wow. lowered on torque thrust with a

bunch of I don't know if you remember

this car and

>> um guy was totally cool. I stopped and

looked at the car a lot at the show. He

wasn't with it and then I saw him as

he's leaving and I ran out on the road

and I ran probably 50 yards to the stop

sign. I was so thankful that the red

light or the stop sign stopped him and

his windows are down and I like knock on

the top of the door and uh kneel down

next to him. I'm like, "Hey man, I'm

like out of breath." I was like, "I like

your car. I remember it from BEAT. You

bought this on BET, right? And he's

like, "Yep." And I was like, "This is

killer." D. Anyway, we start talking

about the cars. That was a very cool car

to see out there. And one of those dry

aged California cars that now ends up in

New York in this guy's deal and he's out

driving it. And he's like, "Man, well,

if you come back, you can drive this

thing." I was like, "Where do you live?"

He's like, "I live right here. Like, if

you want to come back out to Long

Island, you can drive this thing

around." I was like, "Oh, man. Now

you're now you're tempting me." So, that

was a cool car. But that was a good

example.

>> The Bridge X, the Bridge 10.

>> Totally.

>> But that bro may not have been at the

fancy car show. I didn't see it and I

didn't see it around town, but then it

comes out to the Cars & Coffee thing on

Sunday morning and I was like, "Wow,

that's really cool." Uh, Cars and Coffee

was 9 to 11, so it's not even Super Dawn

Patrol. Kind of a casy

town, you know.

>> Can you take a car ferry from Rhode

Island? Can you get Yeah. Okay.

>> at two different points, Rhode Island

and Connecticut and more. And that comes

right into that little harbor there at

Bridgeampton.

>> Allegedly. I've never done it, but I was

investigating different ways to get

there.

>> That would be an interesting way to

bring your car like on the ferry for the

cars and coffee.

>> Agree. Agree. So, uh, that was a cool

car. What else did I look at? There was

a lot of E30 M3s. There was a whole E30

M3 display at the fancy show, but then

four or five showed up the next day and

they weren't at the fancy show. I was

like, man, there's a lot of these

around. So, that was interesting. See

the killer result on the low mile one

from today or yesterday.

>> Lot of silver one. Uh yeah, red

interior.

>> Do you see your car was your

>> your white E30?

>> There were a few that I thought they may

be right cuz Veloce owns that car now.

And I No, they didn't bring that. They

brought Ferraris. They went heavy on

Ferraris. If you want to talk about 308

GTBs that you didn't get to see in

person.

>> Well, and Anony's going to build that

hot rod one. What was Did he have one of

those there?

>> No, there were not those. But there were

several fiberglassbodied

funky color stocks. And do you know the

do you know the deal on the tail lights

on a 308?

>> I'll butcher the name, but the plastic

ones were vetina.

>> Vroina res. I always think resin like it

is. That must be what it means. Yeah,

cuz it's like plastic and resin.

>> Yeah.

>> Did you know you know that? So they have

uh backup lights that are down in the

bumper. Anthony showed me this. We

looked at them side by side. You know

how the backup lights are typically in

the middle of the blinker?

>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

>> The blinker is a huge orange circle with

no backup light and it looks like it's

like French.

>> Yes. And they have they have a little

thing in the middle of the bumper, too.

These are the single exhaust cars. Yeah.

>> Single exhaust. And then there's backup

lights in there. So that he's like those

turn signals are impossible to find cuz

they're only on one year or two years of

the car, whatever the plastic cars.

>> So anyway, I learned that.

>> I think they look way better with the

little single exhaust and stuff.

>> Exhaust is cool. I think the backup

lights look dumb. I think the blinkers

look dumb. I like But I'm a 308.

Whatever. Sucker for a 308. They had a

couple of those and the the cool part

was one was this metallic green and one

was navy blue.

>> Anything but red. I

>> know there weren't a lot of red

Ferraris. There were a bunch of funky

colors. But anyway, 308s. I know GTBs

are your jam. And there were a couple

that you would have just sat next to the

whole day and just like

>> drooled

>> just like keep bringing me cocktails and

I'm just going to sit and look at this

car,

>> man. So that

>> well that like now I'm extra upset.

Although the whole thing looks and

sounds like an incredible thing that

like now I'm sold. I really want to go.

>> I just love the motorsport tiein.

Honestly, I mean I appreciate all of it.

It's really cool and a a a delightful

lux event like that is obviously very

nice to attend. But I mean, dude, at the

end of the driving range, so call it 300

yards out, there's two mobile Pegasus

that are 30 feet tall that I was like,

"Wow, is that just for the show or are

those there all the time?" And then when

the sun goes down, they illuminate neon

like out in the landscape.

And I was like, "Well, you're just

trying to get your head around this

whole thing, right? Like it's kind of

like an artsy moment, but it's kind of

like a car moment, but then it's like

active when it illuminates." And I was

like, "Is that here for today or is that

here year round?" They're like, "No,

that's always here." I was like, "What

the hell do the golfers want? Like all

this car weirdness? Like are all the

golfers into the car thing?"

>> Yeah.

>> And the logo is like a checkered flag.

Anyway, all of it has this car thing

which for me I'm like this is 10 out of

10. like give me all of this, right? But

all of it is a little bit of a knuckle

ball cuz you're kind of like does

anybody else like this or is this just

for weirdos like me, you know? But it

made me be like that's freaking cool. I

wouldn't have thought of that. You know,

>> you I mean your average golfer coming to

play there is presumably not I this is I

presume not a cheap place. No, it's

quite the opposite. It's quite the

opposite.

>> May I May I offer you a 30 foot tall

Pegasus, you know?

>> Yeah. So anyway, and the maintained race

bridge and like just different aspects

of that and all the logo merch is kind

of motorsporty meets golfy. So anyway,

it's a fascinating and and I guess the

guy who owns it and and has overseen

this entire transformation of the

property is kind of into cars and kind

of into what it is now. So it makes

sense. But as a first-time, I was

absolutely just fascinated with the

whole thing. And my mind, as it does

with all these old, you know, historic

motorsport heritage sites, for lack of a

better term, I'm always thinking of like

the guy driving up in the XK120, you

know, with his goggles on sort of deal.

And I was like, "Wow, man, this must

have been a real experience back then,

you know?" So, it's cool to see the

connection to it.

>> Totally, man. I mean, I remember Howard

having a similar reaction when he went a

couple years ago for the first time and

it's part of the reason we were there.

He was just like, "This is awesome and

people need to go." Um, also what led us

to Road America in some ways. So, I hope

more of those come down the pike cuz uh

this sounds amazing now. I want to go.

>> Yeah, it was it was pretty fun. I don't

know if I'll get the chance to go back.

I hope I do. But, um, and that third day

was really cool because it was a little

bit more uh accessible and it was a

awesome. It was very BAT vibes of

cross-section of cars, you know, heavy

stuff mixed with random esoteric stuff

and, you know, trucks and there's an

FJ40. I spend too much time looking at,

you know, standard standard type stuff.

So,

>> um, anyway, just really, really fun and

crowd and the towns and stuff seemed

welcoming of it and that was positive

and good pizza and lobster rolls, man,

if you want.

>> Yeah, hell yeah, lobster rolls. Uh, any

other people that you ran into or you

mentioned a couple alumni cars. any

other cars that really caught your eye

or that were exciting?

>> There were many. Oh my goodness. Um,

more F40s in one place in different

variants than I've seen in a long time.

So, that's sort of some of the heavy

stuff. Um, those 308s I definitely would

have mentioned. Um, a BAT alumni,

Julieta Spider was there with a friend

of ours, Cheyenne. I don't know if you

know you remember Cheyenne. Uh, he

bought that on BAT out of Northwest

Euro. You probably remember this car

listed on the site. Northwest just sold

a baby blue

Jetta.

>> Super cool car.

>> He somehow shipped it to the east coast

and he had it in the show and driving

around. I like saw it parked.

>> Killer in town. I also went running out

on the street chasing him down to Tuck.

>> Was the Volvo also baby blue? A lot of

those are baby blue. Oh no, it was white

cream. Yeah, white cream.

>> Um, so that Alpha was cool. There was a

lot of Yeah. Italian stuff and

interesting stuff driving around.

>> Do they have a feature deal? Is that why

there were so many Ferraris there or is

that just a coincidence?

>> I think they just kind of veer off in

different directions however they

please. It's kind of a curated sort of

thing.

>> Good Mustang contingent. You mentioned a

Boss 429.

>> A white 429.

>> White 429 is very good.

>> We have a blue one on the site right

now. And when I think of those cars, I

think blue. I don't know what percentage

of them was.

>> Well, we had that one that was like that

olive black green color that's like a

metallic recently, which is like one of

my favorite things. I wish I could

remember.

>> And then they had I told you

like stock stock perfect 65 Shelby GT

350 and then that other alumni car was

like a street car that was at the next

day not at the big time show but yeah

there was a cool 69 Z28 I think what

else was over there on that there was

like a 62 vet 60 vet whatever quad

headlight uh late C1 vet which was just

kind of cool with a hard top on it and

>> I've been eyeballing C1's I'm eyeballing

C1's they look good that uh Road America

did it for me that one with the hard

about the early 57 fuely white with

orange co. I love single headlights,

too. Anyway, I could just go through the

rolodex of cars, but there were plenty

of good ones. No shortage.

>> Well, I'm so glad you got to experience

that. And I know we had a couple

staffers out there, so shout out to them

for holding down the fort. Appreciate

everyone who put in some effort on

behalf of BAT. Always love hearing Veoce

with all those great cars, too. Good for

them.

>> Uh, you want to chat about stuff on the

site?

>> I mean, there's some hot stuff on the

site. I don't know if there are any you

wanted to hit because there's a few

things, man. Things ending today, things

ending in the next couple of days.

>> I mean, Stuts Bearcat I was going deep

on right before we walked up here. I

think it's our first Stuts.

>> It is our Well, it's our first

>> Oh, sorry. Sorry. Our first Bearcat.

It's not our first Stuts, but yeah.

>> Um, that's a monumental model. I mean,

it's on

>> talking about early We were talking

about board track racing. Speaking of

early racing, it's like one of the first

like

>> Let's just be clear, that thing predates

Bridge Hampton Racecourse.

>> It Yes.

>> Absolutely.

>> I It might probably 40 years. It might

even predate like board track racing

which I think of as like late teens,

early 20s. And this is this is what a 14

or a 13 or something like that.

>> Monle Monle windscreen. Yeah, I love I

love I love a Bearcat.

>> Anyway, I think those things are super

cool. Awesome to see one on BAT. Yeah,

this this week we've had both our first

904 Porsche and our first Stuts Bearcat

at the same time. And those are two like

obviously monumental car models in

performance car history.

>> Yes. Uh, an amazing Tatra. Did you see

that?

>> The Tatra is

>> in Germany

>> from 1941. Correct. I was in I was

looking at that car thinking about the

environment in the Czech Republic in 41.

I was like, "Oh my gosh, what where did

this what has this car seen?" But, uh,

that was crazy. Where is it listed for

sale? It's in Germany.

>> It's in Germany.

>> Yes.

>> Um, we've seen Tatras. cuz you and I

have seen some top

>> Sudatan land on the road and we've

featured different models and whatever

else, but to have that one is pretty

astonishing and its presentation is

pretty cool.

>> It's a gorgeous one. Really cool color.

A lot of times they're black. This one's

maroon T87. So it's the 3 L air cooled

flat 8 which is like almost airplane you

know in the back. Um it's a really

really nice. It's an aircooled o single

overhead cam flat 8. They had someone

with V and

>> Oh, sorry. No, this is a V8, but it is

air cooled and and single red.

>> Got it. Got it. Got it.

>> Sorry, it's V, not flat.

>> Okay.

>> Tucker, but uh yeah, there's a Gosh, I

wish I could remember the name, but a

lot of the German light sport aircraft

of that period had an inverted air

cooled overhead cam V8. This one's

vertical.

>> An inverted V8 is a terrible idea. Yeah,

you have to pull the prop through before

you start it because the oil pools in

the top of the cylinders because they're

upside down. Anyway, fascinating stuff.

>> Uh, let's see.

>> Man, we can go through. I'm on the BAT

app for

>> Let me go to my watch list.

>> Popular auctions and it's just like each

one's crazier than the next. You know,

>> the um or the last

>> the I wanted to bring this up. The

Galaxy that you raced with at Road

America is live on the site, which I

love.

>> That just went live. You sent me that

picture of both our cars together. Let's

say I was on track at the same time as

that car and it is live on BET. Is it

out of Wisconsin? Where did the car end

up?

>> Uh it's in ill Illinois.

>> It was trailered south a little bit and

put up for sale.

>> But that was a staff favorite of the

pits. So

>> I remember where it was pitted. We we

went and checked that thing out.

>> Like four people have already sent it to

me the day. They're like, "Here, here,

Alex." They listened to our episode with

Huff and they're like, "Here it is.

Here's your starter race car."

>> Yep. For sure. Uh, two, you saw me

eyeballing these earlier in a meeting

today, which I was a little embarrassed

by because I should have been paying

attention, but two Jedha GLI on the site

recently that I liked. Both of one of

which is Sarah bought, which I didn't

even notice.

>> No embarrassment. I was watching that

had both those on my watch list.

>> Yeah, they're both on mine. I didn't

know about the GTX, which I guess is

just a GLI for Canada, right?

>> Canada thing,

>> but has the good headlights on it and

everything. That was a gorgeous car.

>> Does.

>> Did you see

>> Did that sell?

>> It did. Uh, 12 grand. The Sarah paid

quite a bit for the GLI.

>> It's so funny you say that because I was

thinking these are such a screaming deal

compared to a GTI. Like if that white

car was a GTI 16 valve in that same

condition, it would have been 30

minimum.

>> Yeah. But no one wanted these for a long

time. My car had problems even when I

was in high school. My GLI.

>> I love that Jetta.

>> Uh I love them, too. Obviously, I want

to recreate my youth like so many

middle-aged men. Uh did you see the

Barracuda Notchback 440? That's like a

rare car. I did. My dad introduced me to

the delights of the Notch Barracuda,

which you don't see very often. Uh, that

car unfortunately didn't sell today, but

it was a beautiful car and got a strong

bid.

>> Low mileage green.

>> Did you see I don't know if we're even

going to talk about this ex Saddam

Hussein car? That's a whole that's a

whole thing. If people want to go search

that, they can. We don't need to talk

about it here.

>> But, uh, did you see the

>> Is that a million bucks that car?

>> Is it? Did you see the first like one of

the first ever E-ype coups?

>> No. that was in all of the

>> like first ever produced

>> right-hand drive. It's the 10th one

produced, but it was the press car in

all the magazine articles in ' 62 and

63.

>> So that means it's a 60.

>> See, this snuck through without you

seeing it, which

>> 61. What's the very first year? 60, 61,

something like that.

>> No, no, no, no, no, no. They were like

623s.

And so this was later.

>> They overlap. They overlap with

>> No, no, no, no, no.

>> 61. It's got to be this one. The green

coupe

>> 61.

>> You see that car? There's pictures of it

with like Paul Frra like driving it for

UK magazines.

>> Period pictures.

>> Yeah. They drove it over the Alps to

like test it in in like foul weather and

it's all documented in all these old

magazine articles. It's really really

cool.

>> Oh, it went to Pebble. There was a

Pebble

>> and then it was a Pebble in the E type

class and blah blah blah. Anyway, that's

a significant car in my opinion. Oh,

that's

>> story. Talking about it, like the story

on a car, that one has a killer story.

>> Look at how clean and simple. It's so

simple. The very early ones, great

seats.

>> So, that car is a winner. Like, of

everything on the site right now, like

that car stands out to me.

>> I'm coupe over roadster too on Eyp.

>> I know. And which I respect. I think I'm

probably that as well, but Roadsters

every once in a while grab me. But,

>> well, the reason I knew they were that

they were pretty early is because you

could still buy a 150. We had a really

late 150 XQ-150 coupe that I liked and

it was built after some of the early

eypes. So, there was a little bit of

overlap between 150s and Eypes, which is

interesting. I think you can maybe get a

62

150 or at least you can definitely get a

61.

>> Interesting.

>> Man, this car is this is incredible. I'm

not like the hugest Eype fan and this is

>> I am a huge E type fan, but I don't know

if I want a right-hand drive car that's

a right-hand drive car cuz it's has to

be cuz it's so early and it was in all

the UK tests. But anyway, we have a

Edsil Ford II selling one of his Fords

from his collection on the site. We have

an ex Bruce Willis rig on the site right

now.

>> Uh Edel Ford sold sold sold today. Huge

number. Yeah, huge number.

>> We have a a real Daytona Spider on the

website right now.

>> Not a chopped roof.

>> No, I read I read that. I was like,

"Okay, tell me when the roof was dropped

on it." That's what I think. And I went

and read it and it says one of 122

spiders OEM. Wow. Sold new through

Grisswald. That's incredible.

>> So sick.

>> Um and then up through Reno. Like all

the all the old channels of where these

cars were going, right? Was so is Bill

Hera. Definitely eyeballed that car

before it sold or at least cashed the

check and like made

>> imported to Hera. It's always on the on

the like early paperwork.

>> Totally. So anyway, some of that stuff

is going on. The big Porsche collection

is closing. Started yesterday. Going

through another couple days. Anyway, I

mean,

>> you mentioned 904, right? That's coming

up. That that car. I keep coming back to

that car. Red 904 is unbelievable.

>> Think Monte Verde sedan.

>> Oh, I keep looking at that one, too.

Yeah. Weirdo.

>> Out of Switzerland, which is a awesome

place to buy your Monte Verde out of

Switzerland from guys that like know

where the other ones are. Totally.

>> That car is just incredible. Everybody

should go look at the videos of that

car. It's such an unusual car.

>> Uh, quick shout out to Redford passed

away today. Robert Redford, 89 years

old, a car guy and had

>> a green 904. Have you ever seen his 904?

It went for sale a couple years ago swap

>> and I liked the story that it was tied

together.

>> I did too. I would. I don't know that

I've ever seen a picture of him in a

904, but that would be very cool. I

don't know if he drove around on the

street or raced it or looked at it or

what did he

>> He maybe raced it. He was racing be He

was racing Porsches before Newman.

That's the story. He got Newman into

racing.

>> Really?

>> Uh, and then they, you know, that famous

story about how one of them put an old

Porsche shell on the other one's lawn

and then one guy crushed it and put it

back on the other guy's lawn and then

another guy turned the crushed Porsche

into a hideous piece of art and put it

back on the other guy's lawn and they

never spoke about it and Paul Newman

died. They just did this for years and

never talked about it. I love those

guys.

>> I've never heard that story. It's

hilarious.

Um, and then yeah, CAD powered hot rods

on the site. That crazy old

>> Wait, the CAD is the is the CAD powered

hot rod. The little

>> three window with the big wheels on it,

the wheel covers. Yeah, the wheel covers

off of a Duesenberg or something.

>> The Packard wheel covers on that car.

That car is very strong. I I'm watching

that car.

>> That's a crazy rig. And then um anyway,

I can go on and on and on about so stuff

on BAT. It's really crazy what the team

>> helps people sell.

>> We are doing just fine,

>> man. I like Triumph TR250s.

I don't know why. That nose stripe

across them.

>> Have you ever owned a British Roadster?

I don't think you have.

>> No, I helped a buddy buy an MGA and now

for my kid, we got him a MGB, which is

cool. ever do any other Brits? I mean,

Sprite that one year.

>> I have a I have a low court, but I uh I

don't have any other Brits at the

moment.

>> Uh that year that your buddy brought the

Sprite event, that was

>> I love Bug Eyes. I got a great picture

of Bug Eyes in the Corkcrew. I have to

show you from again about probably 1958.

>> Yeah. Think about Bridgeampton Beach

production or whatever.

>> Hay bales and people flying out of cars,

you know, it's like an amazing era.

Absolutely. I wish I could have seen it.

>> Absolutely.

>> I wish I could have seen it.

>> All right, man.

>> All right, bud. Thanks for doing this.

I'm so glad you had a great time at that

event. What an awesome one. Any parting

shots?

>> No. Just want to encourage people to get

out to cool car events and take your car

and have a good time and see new places.

It's a It's a privilege to get to do it.

And BAT, man, you start talking BAT and

you got a friend and in every port, you

know, one in every port. That's right.

>> And uh it's fun to get to do that.

People walking up and being like, "I

bought this car and then you got upset

with me for my salty comment and then

you let me back in and I bought three

more cars and now I want to sell my bug

high." And you're just like, "Can you

honestly can you make this stuff up?"

>> You can't. It's the best. It's the best,

man.

>> It's pretty crazy. And then young young

guys coming up in their E36 M3 and

they're like, "Hey, I just heard about

BAT. like what what are we doing? That

that E E36 345 you sold was crazy and

it's like yeah dude, let's go.

>> Let's go. Anyway,

>> awesome, man.

>> All of that and more.

>> We got a couple more coming up. We got

the Boston event next month. We will

also be out at Machinesima weekend after

next. So, tomorrow

an event that's unusual and different,

go to that.
