Going to the auctions!
Hi everyone. Lately I've been doing some work for a magazine published by one of my car clubs. Later this month, I will be going to Scottsdale to cover the antique and classic car auctions for the magazine. I have to pay my way there of course, but the press credentials get me into the auctions for free. These are the same auctions they televise on Speed TV. I'm pretty excited by this and thought I'd share the news here. Below are the links to the three events I will have time for.

All of this is part of my exploration of life after the law firm. I got to thinking that once I retire, I'll still want to keep busy. Why not try to find something to do in the areas that I enjoy. For me, that is cars and fishing. I'm not sure I'll ever find a way to make a buck writing articles, but the fun is in the journey.

I went to the first Barrett Jackson auction in Las Vegas in 2009. It was fun, especially to see the cars in the back before the auction, up close and personal. The owners were often there to talk to and ask questions of.
You'll have a good time, Bill.

so I quickly scanned the barrett jackson catalog.
I have to say there isn't a lot that got my attention, at least from the standpoint of cars I'd actually want to own.
the MB CL600 and the SL600 and the 360 modena ferrari but not much else.
