Velocity added 36 hours to its regular programming lineup for this world-class auction. If you are a car buff check it out (link below). And if you're really interested you can find much more on the Internet. The auction action of selling one unique car after another lasted six hours of every night this week. I've seen Mike on Velocity talking about his old MG and other cars ... and car songs, but I never expected to see Dennis up on the screen. That was a special treat. :drumroll ~swd https://www.youtube.com/user/BarrettJacksonWeb Title: Re: \ Post by: Lee Marshall on January 18, 2015, 11:07:11 AM D A N G !!!! And I'm looking for a slightly used car too.
Although THAT one might be a tad older than what I want. :o Whatever I get...I'll spin Pacific Ocean Blue and Sweet Baby James in it and feel like I got a bargain. [by the way...someone left the vegetable crisper on the hood. Kids!!!] Title: Re: \ Post by: The LEGENDARY OSD on January 18, 2015, 11:10:11 AM I had heard around the time of TLB that Dennis had actually worked on this car. Anyone else hear something like this?
