Randy's first time on Long Island could not have found a more fitting venue than among the ghosts of one of America's first road courses. They cover the dark reasons behind said courses' creation, the curated garden party atmosphere of the main Saturday event on the (former road, now golf) course, run-ins with great cars including a fabulously rare Volvo and a breathtaking array of Ferrari 308s, and the dichotomies of small, well-to-do East Coast villages. They move on to Day Three, wherein BaT and top seller 1600veloce co-sponsored the followup Cars and Coffee in the town of Bridgehampton; highlights from the morning included a dry-aged Mustang and too many other cars to list.Speaking of too many great cars to list, the pair finish up with a rapid-fire perusal of their current BaT watchlists—it's an exciting time for the site, so follow along !14:06  Volvo P1900&nbsp;BaT features28:15  1969 Ferrari 365 GTC&nbsp;BaT auction30:25  331-Powered 1965 Ford Mustang 5-Speed32:37  18k-Mile 1988 BMW M338:59  1970 Ford Mustang Boss 42939:05  1969 Ford Mustang Boss 42940:13  1913 Stutz 4B Bearcat40:55  1964 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS41:05  1941 Tatra T8742:38  427 FE-Powered 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 Holman-Moody-Style Race Car 4-Speed43:15  1992 Volkswagen Jetta GTX 16V 5-Speed&nbsp;and&nbsp;1992 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 16V44:01  7k-Mile 1969 Plymouth Barracuda Coupe 44044:20  Saddam Hussein–Seized 1958 Bentley S1 Continental Drophead Coupe by Park Ward44:32  Ex-Works 1961 Jaguar XKE Series I 3.8 Coupe46:32  Edsel Ford II’s 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT50046:36&nbsp;Ex–Bruce Willis, 327-Powered 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad&nbsp;and&nbsp;Ex–Bruce Willis, L71-Powered 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 4-Speed46:44&nbsp;1971 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spyder47:35  1971 Monteverdi High Speed 375/448:57  331 Cadillac-Powered Ford Model A 5-Window Coupe 5-Speed51:19  Macchinissima III\n"},"annotations":[{"startTime":260.959,"endTime":265.12,"type":"car","title":"Jeep Wrangler","url":"/cars/jeep/wrangler","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/JEEP_WRANGLER_%28JL%29_China.jpg","quote":"...d then you drove out. >> I rented I rented a Jeep Wrangler.
