Spit Group:

Been away playing golf in Scottsdale (its cold here in Chicago).  Just
saw Jeff's post regarding the Barrett-Jackson auction from last Friday
night that was apparently on TV.  I was there.  Saw a lot of great
cars.  I looked the TVR over pretty good and thought it was in great
shape (I really wanted one as a 21-year old but bought the Spit
instead).

Just wanted to make the comment that everyone there freely acknowledges
that the cars being sold are going for approximately 40 to 50% more than
they're worth.  There was a lot of shaking of heads at the bids.  Too
much testosterone in one place at the same time.
