A HUGE week at the auctions in Arizona. If you weren't prepared to write a cheque for $10 million then the pickings were poor. But before we go to the US let's check on the big news right here at home.
First up, Australia's auto clubs have once again got together for their annual Australia's Best Car Awards. Call me old-fashioned but what does it say about this country when there were no V8s on the podium? Worse, there were only two sixes and the rest were four and five cylinders except for a three! Then they gave the prize for the best sports car under $50,000 to the Volkswagen Golf GTI, which last time I looked wasn't even a sports car. Hullo NRMA, RACV, RACQ, RAA, RAC, RACT and AANT — where is the Toyota 86 and the Mazda MX-5?
