No, not the 968 ..  , but THIS is going up on the auction block in Monterey ( during the August automotive fest and auctions )

The Steve McQueen special .           Usually “experts”  place an estimate and speculate as to what the car might sell for,  but I haven’t seen anything on that yet,  other than the expectation that it may bring an all time record price ( not sure if that means for Monterey auctions history, or everywhere  ) .  

 

I think the sale record for a car was $ 52 Million for a Ferrari GTO , but I could be wrong ..

I just ordered this livery polo ( well, it’s a variant of the livery with “ accents “ of the colors , but I like it ) . 

 

   

 

Being shipped from Germany, so probably a couple of weeks travel time ..

Shipping from Germany is horrible these days, for me it's just a neighbour country, but the last few weeks the most simple items will take up to 14 days to arrive.

When normally it was around 4 days or less.

 

So ds968, i do hope that your couple of weeks will work out to be true. as for me it also takes up a couple of weeks already.

The DHL delivery  “estimate“ was 14 days, and I did get notice that it left Frankfurt yesterday, but things also have a tendency to sit in US customs hubs from as little as two days to as long as six weeks, without any rhyme or reason.. and a small parcel vs a large one does not necessarily seem to drive the timeline... so who knows when it’ll get here .

Maybe I’ll wear it together with this mask ..   overkill ?!   

 

   

 

But no more masks in California ( except for a few places - hospitals, public transportation)  so that option is out ..

And yes, the idiocy of governments’ criteria for establishing any given set of rules, never ceases to puzzle .. and frustrate .

Congrats. Grandchildren can be refreshing. One of mine just graduated from high school. It was a bit of a stark reminder how how quickly life progresses.
