Rarecat Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I'm going to spectate this year, I'll stop by the Shelby camp and say hi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hamilton Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Well with the crappy weather we're having and a predictions for this weekend I'm going to have to back out this year. We voted and I got out-voted 3 to 1. The cold I could take, but the with the rain/sleet factored in the wife's said, "NOPE!" However next week I be heading down to the Mecum Auction in Kissimmee to check out the action with four other buddies (no wife's). Anybody going there? Over 3,000 mostly Muscle Cars in attendance for auction. It's like a giant carshow as you walk around and check them out. Lot's of classic Shelby's in attendance.

Bill Hamilton Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Sorry to hear you are not coming down. Whats the cost of Mecum. sounds like a good substitute. It's something like $20 bucks or so per day. You can't bid, only observe. However if you see something you like that didn't sell or bid high enough, you can make the owner an offer. If they accept it, you then have to register as a bidder so Mecum gets their money either way. It's actually a little more complicate than that but I just enjoy walking around an looking at the vehicles. Until I win the Powerball, I probably won't be bidding.

rksiewert Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Damn! With the chance of thunderstorms at 80% on Saturday, and the fact I had to have back surgery today, I am going to miss out on the event that I had been planning on for almost a year! Crap! Oh well, I am still planning on driving to the Shelby Bash in March! Better to miss this and make that one IMHO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daphne Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Once you have been to Barrett Jackson Mecum will bore you there is no comparison between the two Just my 2 cents lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 The Rain chances are lowering so I'm going. A buddy from Pensacola is meeting me at my House Friday Morning and we are going to cruise down to Cedar Key to watch the NPD Cruisers roll in for Lunch. I will be in my Van and Brian will be in his Cobra Shinoda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rksiewert Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Believe me I would love to go, but one day post back surgery, and I can barely sit, let alone stand and walk around looking at all those gorgeous cars! Plus the wife is afraid of riving the Shelby, and my 16yo son is a WOT kinda kid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hamilton Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Bill, we are planning on going to Mecum as well. Let us know. We're planning on arriving there Tuesday and heading out Friday. Spend very little time inside watching the auction, spend most of it outside checking out the cars that have been across the block and those scheduled. It's like a giant car show looking at 3,000+ cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted January 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Friday I was in a Tee Shirt, Rain started Friday Night and was over by 9:00am Saturday Morning and gradually got pretty cold by 3:00pm. Still had a LOT of cool Cars there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
