Hi Nick, I had a great time. The weather was 30s at night and mid 60's during the day and sunny. It was much busier this year than two years ago. but about the same amount of cars. Seemed like there were less mopars and more "entry level collector cars" than in the past. The robosauraus was a joke.... but the quality of most of the cars is really high and the high sellers have GREAT documentation. Thats an enjoyable part to see when your there, the documentation and reading the stories some of the cars have. Cool story about that, we were in the staging area and I was reading the story on a cool Mustang and it says..."owned by Reggie Jackson" I say to my brother whos taking pictures Hey this is a RG car, and right next to me this guys "yeah it is"... Its Reggie standing right there. Nice guy!
Saturday night was nuts. Although we still managed to wander around the staging area without bidder passes, every where was PACKED.
I know some dont like BJ auction and I dont think I'd ever buy a car there. Although if money wasn't and issue Jenkin's Nova was COOL!!!!
We all know you can find cars cheaper on your own or at different auctions, but its a car event like no other I've been to. I had a great time.
