Contrary to popular belief, Nope! No Fenders Scribe

Racing Museum in Scottsdale last Fall. (The Tomaso Collection)

Author's
Note
As you may be painfully aware of, albeit I'm quite
aware of how far more serious the
current Corona Virus is Worldwide! Nevertheless, this is just a hopefully Quick
Jot' as Grizzled F1 Journo Joe Saward would muse...
This story, as many lately here in thoust queue
upon Thy Mythical Isle 'O Nofendersville was conceived in the midst of my never
ending Confuzer' Technical Difficulties now going on a month's time - and thus
is slightly Dated
as I've now once again reverted back to Ye Trusty
‘Ol winDOUGHS 7 Puter’ indefinitely to Ride Out the Storm, as I like the rest
of my fellow Oregonians begin Day-1 of our Statewide Shelter 'N Stay Home
Directive.
Thanks for your patience and continuing to Read No
Fenders…

For Mwah, I found it most amusing how my TV
Guide was ah-changing' over the course of the intended March 15th season
opening weekend's rounds of Open Wheel Racing.
As I finally, reluctantly decided to watch;
Err listen to last year's Indianapolis 500 which was supposedly taking the
place of the cancelled St Pete IndyCar Opener according to my Zap2it' TV
listings.
As I simply Didn't believe I'd be able to
stomach Dan-Dan-Danicker' talking 'bout herself for the three and a half hours taped
broadcast! Since I deliberately chose to listen to the 103rd running of the
Indy 500 last year via 107.7FM The Fan, WFNI Indianapolis via Zed Internetz'
with Mark Gravley' James at Ye Helm instead!
Yet I was pleasantly surprised when Tunin' in
to find that they'd decided to Default back to last year's St Pete event
instead, which meant N-O Danica, HURRAH!
Although if Ye Elder Statesman 'O IndyCar
Bloggers can critique Lee Diffey for being too Loud when Yelling Euphorically
during Broadcasts.
Then I most Definitely should be allowed to
criticize Kevin Lee for being N-O Lee Diffey! And most Definitely Not a good
lead Announcer! As his FAKE Oh Nooooo Mr. Bill forced exuberance not only
sounds like Fingernails on a Chalkboard to Mwah, but is Uber Annoying!
As I've got my
suspicions why NBC Sports prefers Kevin Lee over Professor B', aka Jon
Beekhuis, who's also a better Pitlane Reporter then Kevin is, but I'm not gonna
elaborate further...
These sentiments came flooding over Mwah when
realizing how Delectable it had been Not Hearing Kevin's voice for nearly six
months! As may be it's his Indiana Mid West Twang that gets me?
And how stale the rebroadcast felt to Mwah,
especially since I already knew the results of who'd won, having watched it
last year live.
Whilst
stating The Obvious, presumably the current Corona Virus Dilemma we're in,
which is worsening every day! I suspect this had some weight upon how the
rebroadcast did little to Pump Me Up! Along with realizing how easy it's to get
along with life without Indy Cars...
Yet life swam along that weekend, with
apparently many being Oblivious in Glendale, Arizona, where the 2020 Mecum
Auction was in full swing during March 11-14. As originally I Arse-sumed it
must be a TV Rebroadcast, Righto?
Nope, it were live instead, so I tuned in
Ah-while', with some of the cars I heard crossing the auction block included a
1959 black Corvette Fuelie', aka 283cid small block V-8 fuel injection beauty
selling for $150,000.
Whilst I immediately remembered why I Don't
like NBCSN's coverage of these Mecum Auctions, since they like to simply jump
to the next car in the Queue by saying the Bid goes on, leaving me with Zero
Clue if the car in Questione sold?
As they did this twice, ironically both times
being Ford BOSS 429 Mustang's. The first being from 1969, which I thought I
heard had a reserve of $250k and only got to $210,000 before they started
Prattlin' on 'bout whatever was next? And then later a '70 BOSS 429 got to
$220k before we moved on...
But the most
enthusiastic Bidders had to be
the duo who won a 50th Anniversary Ford Mustang Coupe for a "paltry"
$45,000!
And it was funny how McLaren Supercars were
featured, with an original MC4-12 being sold, before a McLaren Senna was
Hammered away for a cool $900k!
Yet according to the IndyStar's new IndyCar
Reporter Nathan, Not Nate! Brown, since Nate Brown's an 'Ol Unlimited
Hydroplane Jockey; Hya! I listened to the IndyCar story via my NFB Newsline for
The Blind telephone service, noting that le Hamburgular' or SeaBass', nee
Sebastain Bourdais made a cool $1 Million dollars when selling his 2017
Competition Ford GT at the Glendale Auction! Which he apparently flew to in
light of the St Pete IndyCar's race cancellation.
Whilst Congrats to 'Ol Narly Pinball', nee Charlie
Kimball and his wife Kathy, who Messer Brown reported upon The Stork visiting
them with the arrival of Thar second child.
As I know that No Fenders Offical' Photographer CARPETS' would wanna know,
