Ferd/289 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Wondering if anyone has been to the BJ auction. I have seen it on Speedvision and it looks like a neat trip. I was wondering where you might stay, when to attend, etc. I have been to several brand-x auctions in Dallas but maybe I will hit this one this year.

280Zone Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I have gone several times and always enjoy it. The cars a re great and so is the scenery. Best days to go if you are a buyer, is the very first day and the last day. Those days are less attended. Also any day that it rains. Saturday and Sunday are a zoo of people but it is still enjoyable for your average motorhead and/or people watcher. You can spend all day in the huge tent watching the cars go by while you learn every detail of the cars history. You can roam the grounds and se the cars that are coming up for auction or you can spend some of the day strolling through the various vendors' booths. The aution is in the North East portion of our valley in Scottsdale but any hotel would do since the auction ground is right off the freeway and is easy (within an hour) to get to from almost anywhere in town.

280Zone Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Well it is ususlly nice but I have been there when it was raining. We are experiencing quite a bit of rain lately but I would bet it will clear up by then.
