Ferrari Mailing List: Re: That's It

[Erik Nielsen (judge4re]

I've found the local shows not to be exotic friendly in general and limit my participation to just one a year (and don't panic if I have conflicts that weekend).  Your old Mondial won second place in the "other European" category its last time out, 1st place went to an Opel GT.  I guess that's what happens when you live in a town that wouldn't have any culture if it wasn't for the grocery stores selling yogurt...

Exotics are definitely not for everyone, else Ford/GM/etc... would be making cars that looked and handled better than washing machines.  I'm content with just having a few like minded people over for a glass of better scotch and head into the garage.  

Cheers,

Erik

Beautiful day yesterday so I took out the 328 for a drive.  I always pop the bonnet after a drive to have a look at the engine bay.  I then saw about 5 nasty scratches in the paint, obviously done purposely.

I enjoy attending local community car shows particularly for the pimply faced kids who know and love F'cars as I did as a kid.  Particularly fun when mom or dad pops a photo of the kid behind the wheel. 

Sad to say, I'm done with it.  The scratches must have happened at the last show or two while I was inattentive or off somewhere.  This is not an isolated incident for me. I really do enjoy the small local family car shows and talking mindless kar krap with other car smitten souls, but not at the cost of someone taking out their pathetic inadequacies on a car I treasure.

Sorry to say, that's it.  From now on, I'm gonna have more fun at the shows taking my beater and no concerns.

Thoughts?

Bob in Beautiful Lovettsville, VA.
