I saw over the weekend another aution on Speed. It was from England and most of the starting bids were 1 million dollars. They had one Rolls that if you wanted to bid on it you needed to antie up at 1 million or you couldn't bid on it. I saw this girl put down over 5 million on another rolls like it was nothing.

Where do they get their money from?

Those brits would embarass Ron Pratte.

Remember the rich stay rich when the economy tanks because there's always $ to be made (think mortgage fiasco's or futures)...its the lower/middle class that feels the pinch.
