A Look at yesterday’s comments of note

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“We have been overwhelmed by the positive reaction and comments on the Black Shadow and our shop. I wish I could say it was all me but it is not. Jack Wilson told me ” you can’t do it all by yourself” . This maybe the best advice he ever gave me because I have two dedicated and talented mechanics that combined have been here 40 plus years. I also have several longtime sub contractors and suppliers that are reliable and understand our commitment to the motorcycles we work on.
Contact us for any…”

Weird gets weirder.
I love it!”

ekmcmullen commented on 1974 Citroen GS Birotor

“This looks like a great, honest Porsche 911T Coupe 5-speed. Yes, all U.S.-delivered cars came with MFI, while ROW models had carburetors.
This example appears to be a very untouched, original car with all the right period-correct parts, and a rare specification, leather interior, and factory A/C. It has a really nice patina, and a 1972 T in this kind of condition is becoming increasingly rare. These make fantastic driver’s cars.
When the time comes to rebuild the engine, it’s a great…”

“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…”

“In the 70’s my Dad owned/operated a MB repair garage in CA. I used to work with him off/on to assist. His biggest job was a 300 SL roadster a client brought in to have the engine, transmission and differential rebuilt prior to shipping the car off to do the complete renovation. When my Dad completed all of the mechanical work, he asked if I’d like to take the SL out for its first test drive. I was surprised and happy to. I took it easy, went through the gears and put about 5 miles on it.…”

“Whole heartedly agree with all the comments here…especially those about Peter. Absolute class act, deadly honest, insanely talented racer…sold him a few cars and have been following him since his Real Time Racing White NSX days….still have your white NSX framed championship poster on my wall Peter :):). Perfect buy at any price from the perfect seller.GLWTA”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“A Christmas wish, a dream of speed and grace,
No simple toy beneath the tinsel’s shine,
But a Chiron Bugatti to leave its trace,
A masterpiece of power, wholly divine.
The price tag high, a fortune vast to pay,
For roaring engines and the scent of leather new,
Upon this joyful, gift-receiving day,
A gleaming marvel, in a stunning hue.
Beneath the tree, no socks nor simple game,
But keys in hand to unlock might untold,
To feel the rush, the engine’s rising flame,
A Christmas…”

“I’ll add a brief perspective here as someone who has worked on and flown a wide range of aircraft.
For background, I’m an A&P with Inspection Authorization (IA), with nearly two decades of experience in airline maintenance, and I currently fly the Boeing 767. I’m also a general aviation aircraft owner and have owned and operated a GA maintenance shop.
I’m familiar with Lil’ Red and her maintenance history, and I’ve reviewed and observed the work that’s been performed on…”

“Our family thanks all of you for checking out our car and for the fun and informative dialogue this week. It will be a bittersweet moment to say goodbye to this piece of history. Our hope is for this ol’ girl to have her story told and her former glory restored. We congratulate the future auction winner of the 56’ Imperial Convertible project. We can’t wait to see her roll down the street, top down, and HEMI purring once again! Best of luck to all the bidders.”

hymanltd commented on 8-Mile, One-Owner 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition

“It has been a genuine privilege to have this extraordinary 113-year-old racing motorcycle on display in my collection. It stands as far more than a rare machine—it is a tangible reminder of the ingenuity, craftsmanship, and determination of the pioneers who built it.
This motorcycle is a testament to what skilled hands, creative minds, and unwavering perseverance could accomplish more than a century ago.
Yet the motorcycle tells only part of the story.
It also pays tribute to the fearless…”

“As the former owner of XS004 and a serial collector of special Fox Body Mustangs, you can’t find many more special than a KB car. If I had the room I’d be going after this under full boost! GLWTA!”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“This was my Dad’s car. I learned to drive a stick in this car and took my drivers test for my license. He and I worked on it together and we would race through the mountains. When he was over seas, my mom and I had to drive it weekly to keep it running. both of my parents are in heaven. My mom is looking down at me, saying what in the hell are you thinking? My dad is looking down at me and saying hell yeah!”

joedryden commented on Korman-Built, S38-Powered Widebody 1968 BMW 1600ti 5-Speed

“It’s bittersweet to see this car listed here with @craterface. I was the co-driver for the Modena Centro Ore event in this car and it was just a champion. In addition to buying a tested and regularly driven car, you are buying a top-tier seller. I’ve had the pleasure of over a decade of friendship with the seller and his is a dedicated, knowledgeable, and passionate steward of his cars. He is especially fond of Alfas and I suspect there is another Alfa coming to replace this one. Bid with…”

“Leading off the BaT Best Flybys of the Week is #XS003. The Kenny Brown suspension and chassis mods really hook this car up. Trust me when I tell you that this Outlaw is capable of so much more.
