I agree with what you are saying, Frank.  But I don't think the replicars 
should have been in the same class as the original cars for judging at the 
concours.  Put all the replicars in the same class.  (Building a replicar 
seems like cheating to me!)

Since my Midget is just being resuscitated, I am looking forward to a few 
shows, but after that, I think I will quickly get bored with the show scene.  
As good as the cars were at Moss last Saturday, I couldn't bring myself to 
stay for more than two hours.  There's only so much you can see and talk 
about.  I could probably spend more time at a large autojumble than looking 
at the cars.

I'd rather be drivin'!
