    “Thank you all. We reached a fair deal, and I am super excited to be the 2nd owner of this masterpiece. It will be driven much more than it has been over the past 47 years. Will be sitting next to its cousin, my ’73 CSL. Mario (VSR), get some room ready…!!! Thank you, Brian, for working on this deal with me. It will be in good hands for a while! Best to all. David”

    “I thought that someday the “Krispy Kritter” would end up here on BaT! I was born in October of 1966 and have known this car practically my whole life. My dad was a lifelong car guy and friends of the builders/owners Ted Trischler and Frank Dennler and was there the first time they fired up the Kritter! What is ironic that people mention it reminds them of the Batmobile from the rear is that the car was actually built in a cave (Batcave) of the hillside section of Spring Garden that is located…”

    “For general information only: The “green things” on most Citroëns of this era all relate to the hydraulic system. Green indicates LHM (mineral oil) fluid vs older red (brake fluid) systems. The SM has 6 green things visible under the hood. From left to right you have; Passanger’s front suspension sphere (acts like a shock absorber and allows different ride heights), In the center – Hydraulic main pump, Main pressure sphere (which controls five levels of ride height, brakes, steering, clutch…”

    “You should definitely join us next year @PDXBryan and so should lucky new winner of this wagon. The Boston Cup event will give you the perfect chance to enjoy the city and travel that week and enjoy the change in seasons nicely.
    A friend in Toronto bought this car’s twin for his daughter to use while in college in BC. She made several trips regularly each year back and forth before giving it back to him and moving to the UK for work. The car had just over 100K kilometers when I visited…”

    “Ccatalana, Yes it is TROG ready. It was registered and tech accepted (after they had me install the roll hoop and lower the seat for helmet clearance) in Oct 2021. I wish I had a video of it blasting down the track but it rained out that year due to the hurricane.”

    “What a great airplane for BaT. Responsive, and sporty to please a lot of pilots, and basic enough to be a trainer for a new student.
    And, seller, your preparation is excellent, I can’t think of anything not covered in photos, text, and videos.”

    “The first time anybody noticed the Pontiac Grand Safari outside Grounds for Divorce Cafe, most assumed it belonged to tourists who’d made a navigational error serious enough to involve prayer.
    The wagon sat crooked beneath the diner sign like a grounded cruise ship from the Nixon Administration. Mesa Tan paint. Fake woodgrain peeling near the tailgate. Chrome roof rack big enough to carry sheet metal or emotional baggage. The thing looked less parked than abandoned by history.
    Inside…”

    “1998 Supras are neat for a whole bunch of reasons, but if you’re not aware they are the only years with the following parts.
    1. Light gray colored dash panels
    2. Passenger airbag has Supra name on it
    3. VVTi featured on the 2JZ-GE engine (first time we see it before IS300)
    I’m certain I’m missing a few things too. GLWTA!

    “Hurley Haywood was my instructor at the Porsche Driving School in Alabama, actually both times I went — was really a great instructor — five time winner of 24hrs of Daytona — will never forget my laps riding with Hurley driving around that track at 9/10ths.
    

In the downhill corkscrew to get the 996 back end to to come around he caused a bunny hop by repeatedly stabbing at the brake pedal to unsettle the car, I had never seen that technique before or since, counter to what they…”

    One of GMs cleanest, and most enduring designs. Still looks fresh after all these years.”

    “Wow! Owner of touring #9 here. Hope to see a second B8 4.6 touring come to the US! If the new owner is US based, please find me. Happy to connect and provide steer on how to maintain this thing in the US. I just refreshed the hydraulic system on my car after getting it back from the BMWCCA Foundation museum.
    The unique thing about the Alpina B8 touring is it’s the only e36 touring chassis that got the m3 rear subframe reinforcements welded in as well.”

    “This is SW, this car belonged to me for quite a while. I purchased it as a 4 speed A/C car. It was extremely nice, straight with a beautiful undercarriage, which was the main reason I bought it. The Paint was nice but I am very picky so we disassembled it and had it blocked and resprayed. It drove amazingly well. After a few years I sold it to a friend so I wouldn’t take it apart and make it a restomod like all my others. He had a 5speed installed, drove it some but since he owns over 75 other…”
