I shot up to Orlando yesterday with my friend who is always on the look out for a interesting car.
Do not have much time so I am just going to post the Mini's then post some other fun cars later.
This 1965 Cooper S goes on the block tomorrow (Thursday the 12th)

More later.
The cooper S bid up to 34K and stopped never hit the reserve.
The Mini Towtruck sold for 40K. Which blew my mind as it appeared to need a lot of work. The S was completely restored and looked amazing.
These auctions make no sense sometimes.
My son-in-law took me last Saturday.
That pickup needed a lot of work. I did not like it at all.
On the other hand , I rode in the hellcat 4 door drifter. A fun ride.
Had a great time , for my first time to Mecum.

A friend of mine was bidding on that blue Cooper S, guess he hit his limit. I told him it would bring at least high $30's.......
That tow truck reminds of the Mini big rig I looked at last summer.
That tow truck sold for $40K??? I can't even begin to wrap my head around that. That's more than I think a mint original pick-up would go for.
