The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
Rare Ferraris Set Auction Record
By James Grahame
It's Ferrari's 60th anniversary year, so it should come as no surprise that their testosterone-driven classics are collecting record prices at auction.
A 330 TR/LM Testa Rossa Spyder sold for a stunning 7 million euros in a recent auction held at the company's Fiorano test track in Maranello, Italy. Other unbelievable sales included a 1953 340/375 Berlinetta Competizione (€4.2M) and a pair of 1953 250 SWB Scagliettis that sold for €1.9M each.
For those of us who aren't rock stars of tin-pot dictators, there was a range of almost-affordable memorabilia including a steering wheel from a Ferrari F1 car (€ 59,000) and a Ferrari Tandem bicycle by Colnago, a steal at only € 10,000.
Since I only have about $3 in my tinplate dime bank, I guess I'll just have to stick to my battered old Dinky Toy scale models. But it's fun to dream, isn't it?
