I did a similar thing last year on Monday the 18th and called it the Erin Go Green Edition. I think I can get a pass on the date, but the phrase “Erin go bragh” roughly translates as “Ireland till doomsday”, so Erin Go Green sort of means Ireland till Green, and if there is any place that doesn’t need to go green is Ireland, it has always been green. I’m hoping that this year’s title of Green Go Braugh can be translated into Green til Doomsday or “Green Forever.”

Like yesterday’s post on a deja vu feeling, I had one today too. While scrolling through the auctions on Bring-a-Trailer, I could swear these we the same vehicles from last week, even the very odd-ball looking ones were familiar.

More of the same ol’ stuff, a BMW, a Land Rover and a Porsche. Maybe next week I’ll build a SORT garage from Doug Demuro’s Car and Bids instead of Bring A Trailer.

Even though it was only in the upper 30s the sunshine was worthy of a New Mexico sky. My hands and feet were pretty cold after getting soaked while washing both cars in the driveway. The third car is probably still very dirty down there in Eugene at FTW Tuning.
