Ok, Joe, for the last time, there was nothing "elitist" about the
placement
of the Spitfires at Triumphest. It was purely a question of numbers and
not
enough parking spaces in the center section of the parking lot. I know
because it was my decision and mine alone and the thought of belittling
Spitfires never crossed my mind. I asked several of the Spitfire owners
about the placement and they agreed with it. I am sorry if you were
offended, but it was certainly not intentional. Afterall, my first
Triumph
was a Spitfire.

That is precisely the problem. You never figured anyone would be
offended. Nobody ever thinks about the feelings of the Spitfire owners,
they just act and expect everyone to just go along. And we usually do
because we have gotten used to it. If space was a problem, why didn't
the TR3's or TR4's or TR6's get shuffled over to the far lot? Maybe if
you still had a Spitfire you would feel differently, but you probably
feel like you have "graduated" to a REAL Triumph and don't need to
consider the feelings of the Spitfire owners.
Everyone wants to rationalize the shoddy treatment handed to the
Spitfire owners but nobody wants to do anything about it.
Joe
