    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…”

    “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…”

    “This is cool. During the 1950s and 1960s, my grandmother worked for Helms Bakery in Montebello, CA. When I was young, I toured the plant and saw her working—baking donuts.
    She would bring home the cardboard miniature Helms trucks for me…
    Decades later, for her 90th birthday party, I made it a Helms Bakery–themed event and found an original unfolded cardboard Helms Bakery truck on eBay. I reproduced them so each table had a miniature Helms truck.
    The family went nuts over those…”

    “The missile appeared at Earl’s Salvage Yard & Formalwear on a Tuesday morning.
    At least that was what Hairless B29 called it when he walked into the Grounds for Divorce and announced that Earl had acquired a rocket.
    Angus Hopper continued buttering his toast.
    “How big?”
    “Three feet, maybe.”
    Angus looked up. “That ain’t much of a rocket.”
    “It’s streamlined.”
    This was apparently sufficient evidence to bring Rex Hall into the investigation. By nine…”

    “The Story Here…
    As an automotive magazine publisher, editor and motor journalist in the ’80s and ’90s, I was privileged to attend many unique and amazing press functions and receive highly-specialized literature regarding the cars being launched. From the Highlands of Scotland to the South of France. From the US Continental Divide to the jungles and rain forests of Guatemala and Belize. From small back mews of the English Midlands to palatial manor houses in London. What a time it…”

    “The Superleggera V4 was capped at 500 units worldwide for 2020 and remains the first street-legal motorcycle with a carbon fiber frame, subframe, swingarm and wheels as standard — Ducati had to get specific homologation approval for the structural carbon!!!!! What a Bike!!!!”

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

    “This car always stuck out with ONE simple metric that I read back when it was being tested… 50mph to 75mph, it beat out the Testarossa and Porsche Carrera 4.
    I think we know a hybrid RAV4 today could probably do this, but in period it blew my socks off to know this.
    May this Swedish Testarossa be enjoyed for many more years. GLWTA”

    “Blue is such an underrated color for Ferraris. Most shades of blue look great on Ferraris, specially on larger, front-engine ones like this, the 612, or the FF.”

    “I was at summer camp so I was around 10 years of age when my camp best friend said his father was coming to visit for the afternoon. Something I always missed as my father lived in Italy and camp was in the United States. well his father did indeed show up and riding a Vincent Black Shadow! I was by heritage a motor head already. What in the world was this motorcycle, it was not a “you meet the nicest people on a Honda” which were taking America by storm at the time. When my friend introduced…”

    “When they were introduced could not sell what had been planned for U.S. mkt and some returned to Europe. Those sold here went down in value for awhile and then…. Mine was not taken by first purchaser when it arrived at dealer. I had originally turned the allocation but took it. Early comments from an owner captures it. Fantastic sound, torque, manual, no turbo, compliant suspension, smiles everytime”
