In Alberta, Canada a pet lover has specially reinforced an old car so that he can take his favourite animal for drives in the country. The pet, an 825kg young male bison, is reputed to have developed a special bond with his owner and is said to express this by licking his hand.
Industrial equipment auctioneer Ritchie Bros. reported its largest-ever UK auction was held in July, in Donington Park.
More than 120 sellers put over 1,600 item on the block for the 900-plus bidders – all record levels, according to Ritchie Bros.
All items in the unreserved public auction at the motor racing circuit were sold without minimum bids or reserve prices. Bids were placed in person at the Donington Park auction site, live online via rbauction.com and by proxy.
