Thanks for the congrats!!
It was a fun experience....meet a lot of nice people and lots of great cars. I watched the judges inspect the only 914 in the full concours (very nice, recently restored, arrived on a trailer) and I was suprised that originallity wasn't factored in more than it was. The were a few obvious things that were not period (year) correct. I could have competed with him although I wasn't as clean in all the nooks and crannies (behind the rims, in the exhaust etc..). I enjoy driving my car best of all and it's a lot of work to cleanup to compete with a "garage queen". I would like to go to Charlotte and even better drive there!!! |

Just cruisin' the CW room and I saw your post - Congrats! I'm trying to break the CW habit and its been hard. If you enter a PCA concours, AFAIK with the relatively new (2006) PCA concours rules, the only category in which originality is judged is the "Preservation/Unrestored" category. Of course I'll defer to Pat for the final opinion. Later, |
