    “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:

    “Hi all, I am the previous owner of this amazing little E30 Touring.
    I can vouch for the condition of this car. I daily drove it for over a year before selling it to the current owner on Bring a Trailer. It has been well taken care of by the current owner, myself, and the previous owner (before me) who is a close friend of mine.
    Collectively we have put many hours and dollars into keeping this E30 in great condition. It drives tight, it drives clean, and nothing on the road today can…”

    “It is vehicles like this which make @BaT one of the most fascinating automotive places and a standout on the internet. @Bat continues to amaze and astound regularly and to buck the trend of the mass of online auction sites.
    The depth of knowledge from the BaT spectator gallery is staggering and inspirational from contributors sharing their collective wealth of automotive riches and wisdom. This is the very core of what makes @BaT such a fascinating and entertaining resource….”

    “@WIZZZZ
    I met Fred at Bonneville in 1963. He had set a 2-way record the previous year at 99.06 mph with his absolutely stock Corvair Monza. I had managed to go 107 mph with my stock 61 Corvair but needed bigger tires. Fred told me that Rambler Station Wagons had 15″ wheels that would fit Corvairs. There was a little junk yard on the outskirts of Wendover, Utah right on the state border with Nevada. I went down there and found a Nash Rambler in there with two 6.40 X 15″ tires (1 was…”

    “Last summer the Eastern PA Chapter of the Audi Club did it’s annual covered bridges drive and ice cream run. A very fun and spirited ~150 mile drive. I show up in my 1989 80 Quattro, my wife drove our 2001 TT 225 Roadster, and a guy I had never seen before at any Audi event shows up in one of these. Jaws dropped. He was super nice, down to earth, and had no problem with any of us getting in and checking it out.”

    “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…”

    “As a sidebar to this 250,000th auction listing, yesterday at the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance, BaT Co-Founder Randy Nonnenberg, spoke at length for the entrants and attendees about the phenomenon that brought about what we are experiencing here — how it began and how it evolved. It’s a fascinating story of insight, risk and reward that’s about as “American” as anything can be.
    On the field were a number of “BaT Auction” sales as well as sellers, commenters and attendees who read the…”

    “Pontiac sure had some pretty cars in the Sixties. They’ve aged well too. Great to see two Pontiac B Bodies with three pedals on BaT in the same week… how unusual is that?
    This car would have a circle of admirers at every Cars and Coffee you drove it to… elegant and much less common than the A Body cars of the era. Truly the “executives’ hot rod” especially with a four-speed.
    Wonderful car… :-)”

    “Thanks gang! A bit numb…
    Promise to take great care of it. Lots of VW in my past but I won’t bore you other than to say this one wraps them all into one, and erases all regret for every sale (including my last…a Corrado in ‘04)
    To all the caretakers and @seller…Thank You!”

    “My Dad had a ‘61 in this color and with roof rack. VW advertised they would float. I was 15 and a friend and I tried to drive it in a local reservoir that was just being impounded. It did float but wouldn’t steer and bogged down due to back pressure. Crawled out window and pushed it back to shore. Cranked it watching pea shooters squirt water. It cranked up. We drove it until the floorboards were dry. Did not tell Dad until 10 years later. He couldn’t kill me then, I had kids of my own”

    “Styling of this era Accord still looks fresh to my eyes. If it ends up on display at a Honda dealer showroom, will it make customers think, “God, new cars sure are ugly now.” But then again, I may be biased. My daily drivers are 35-year old Hondas.”
