Vroom Room

Good Morning!

Love is EmbeddedIts Friday, and yes its the Vroom Room, come in make yourself comfortable, join the conversation. As usual we have cappuccino and biscotti.

Think about this, we are already a month beyond Christmas, if you get the feeling that for some strange reason time seems to accelerate, we share your thoughts. Yes...time is increasingly becoming a precious commodity...its the great equalizer.

Yesterday we published a video titled "Auto Industry" its from almost 60 years ago, at a time when the auto industry literally powered North America, and the middle class. It was the "golden age" of the automobile in North America. The videos will continue tomorrow, and Sunday.

At some point we probably all knew that manufacturing was going to migrate to other places on the planet, all in the guise of lowering costs, in the meantime did we fully comprehend that the migration of manufacturing was going to alter the economic landscape in ways that perhaps not many envisaged. What do you think?

The Arizona auction weekend has come and gone...we don't know about you, in our case our interest in the various auctions has diluted. Prices seem more realistic, and obvious that with very low returns, accompanied by a stock market that constantly "tergiversates", classic cars are a good investment, or a better investment.

The upside, the auctions are a great tool/event to uphold the global classic car market.

Yes...tomorrow is the start of the Rolex 24 at Daytona, make it a point to catch it on TV or online, or on Twitter.

The World Economic Forum is on at Davos, as we have mentioned a few times there is a stark realisation that capitalism needs a global "reset"...

Perspectives and photos of the 1967 race at Daytona...here.
