I'm one of those Porsche purists, really particular about all the little details. I drive the crap out of my car, but I still make sure it has the correct nuts and bolt, so the concours judges don't give me any lip. I notice a lot of radically modified 914s here, just wanted to get a sense of how everybody feels.

My interest in cars has always been racing of one sort or another. I like to think of cars the way my uncle who was a Navy carrier pilot described helicoptors. "A large collection of parts flying (or in this case driving) in a VERY close formation." People who look down on cars just because of brand, modifications, or intended use whether it be concours, drag racing, etc. instead of looking at the workmanship and pride of ownership from the owner completely miss the point of the car hobby.
Case in point. I have a good friend that has a '54 MGTD MkII that his father bought brand new. It has never been restored. It has only been mechanically maintained as necessary. You should hear the PCA guys scoff when I talk about that car. It's also amusing to hear what they have to say when I drive my '66 bug to monthly meetings. I acutally over heard a guy say "can you believe some one had the gall to come here in an old VW?". It is these kind of penny loafer wearing, nose looking down, middle class twits that give the PCA a bad rap. I encourage real car people all over to be active in their club. rant over. Kelly |
