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

    “This 599 is an earlier production as in the later production for 2007 the ceramic brakes became standard. Also, Ferrari jacked up the base price from $258k to $321k base price. Significantly increased the cost. These cars are appreciating fast. F-1 transmission is a very nice transmission in my opinion even though general public prefers the clutch version. Good luck.”

    “A layman’s view.
    In 1987, at the age of 27, I quit my job and travelled to Europe for my 1st time for a 6-month adventure. After skiing a few areas in the Alps, I made my way north, as far as Bergen, Norway. Summer had arrived, and I wanted to have some beach fun.
    The section on France in the Frommer’s Guide had many pages on the Mediterranean Coast, but few on the Atlantic.
    I decided on a road less travelled, the Atlantic. To my pleasant surprise, I discovered a magnificent area…”

    “IMO, the ‘stacked headlight’ GTO versions are the definitive GTO.
    Very cool car. Unique color, mostly see red, black or blue.
    Would love this.”

    “Yes for those who don’t know Vic Skimants was a leading competitor in the SCCA E production class for many years. The knowledge gained on the track was applied to his builds which for those who have them understand well.”

    “On my dog walks about once every two weeks, only on sunny days, a 442 that looks to be identical to this car drives by me. I’ve yet to be able to check out the car up close. The sound of that car is amazing. The look of that car is amazing. snap my neck following it as it goes by. Probably one of the best looking cars in my town, and there are plenty of nice cars. These cars wear yellow really well. The tasteful black stripe accents are icing on the cake. Necking snappingly beautiful. Like…”

    “The duck walks into a bar by himself and sits down on a stool.
    The bartender none-too-happy walks over and stares at the duck.
    The duck stares back… both glare at each other for a few moments.
    No words are spoken until finally the duck speaks up and says.
    Sunday’s the famers day off…”

    “Ditto to that! Awesome look. Have a 93 myself and live in Austin.
    Pearl Black 199 with gray interior and 120,000 miles. Have had sine 101,000 miles and about 3 years. Awesome ride.
    What is the history of the car pre 2009?
    How about service records?
    Where was it serviced in Austin? Ben’s?
    I’ll be out of town on a e500 road trip from Austin to Midwest to northeast and southeast then back early August.
    This car was made for the road!
    Even getting 20 mph!
    Looking forward to seeing where…”

    “Hello BaT universe! I am the owner, craftsman, artist of this X-34 Landspeeder tribute vehicle. Since I couldn’t acquire the real one from that galaxy far, far away, (the import/transport fees would have been “astronomical”) I decided to build one to commemorate the upcoming 50th earthly anniversary of this iconic movie vehicle. I am looking forward to all the comments, questions, and bids.”

    “When I scroll BaT, I’ve always held out hope I’d come across two cars: my dad’s ‘66 E Type, and this car. I sold this car to the current seller. Bought when I was 14, restored it, drove it through high school and into young married life. Sold it when I was broke with a growing family to support. Broke my heart to sell it, but clearly I sold to the right individual. Car looks absolutely amazing. I’ll start the bidding with the last sale price…”

    “Harold is a Stroppe and Ford icon still with us today, he admits he is older and as for all of us, his memory is fading.
    Rod unfortunately is no longer with us but there is a lot more info on his legendary existence.
    with that being said, i invite anyone who knew or knew of Harold Allen and or his talents to share any stats and stories with us and the same with Rod?
    i am sure @BajaBronco / Andrew and @Todd_Z. and @House along with a handful of others will have some important history and…”

    “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…”

    “I love the early SHOs and had an 89, purchased in 92 while a young engineer at Ford. The car enthusiasts either had SHOs, fox body Mustangs or a Porsche (if you were willing to take the abuse from the neanderthal managers who were “only buy Ford” zealots). Once the first year gremlins were sorted, they were reliable (for a Ford) and perhaps the best all purpose sport sedan of the time. I love that Yamaha power plant and it is bulletproof, making sweet sweet sounds all the way to the little…”

    “Man, already at $4M before I could get my comment in….
    I want to thank the team at BaT for bringing us so far. It is amazing to cross the quarter million auctions milestone together.
    And a big thank you to the @1600veloce team for helping us mark the occasion with this beautiful 288. Anthony gets so much well-deserved credit, but it takes the whole team there to do the amazing things they do.
    And maybe my favorite part of BaT is that Lot #250,001, right behind this one, is a…”

    “I want to send a big congrats to the team @BaT for 250,000 listings! Kudos again to the team behind the scenes!
    Our team was so proud to be a part of this journey.
    @bringatrailer Randy I want to thank you for all the support and the fun ideas we have bounced off each other all these years. This listing like any listing, can be a bumper for an MG to a Halo Ferrari. It all belongs here. The best site, the best community.
    We discussed what type of car we would want to list. Well here…”

    “These cars were so ahead of their time. Supercharged, intercooled, 4 wheel discs with ABS, IRS with adaptive damping, even pneumatic adjustable side bolsters. I still have my 35th anniversary 5 speed version, and it remains a pleasure to drive unlike most crude live axle domestics of the era.”
