Our philosophy is that we Drive the car (Rosey TR6) to the  show, 
most Concours have an optional "Drive", we Drive that.  We work hard 
on cleaning the car hoping for a Podium finish in class.  If that 
does not happen ... well  we had a really Good Parking Place ...

Some   very wise person (not I) once said:
        "These cars were  not built to be polished and set in a showroom
        or on a trailer. These cars were built to be driven. When you turn
        the key or push the starter button, they do not just start
                ... they come ALIVE ..."

>made me realize that its not that big a deal.  really, imho, its about an
>hour or so of basking in the glory and then its irrelevant.  in april my son
>won a trophy in autocross, and he was very, very proud, as were we.  now
>he's at college and the trophy is here.

>every time i get in my car i realize why i have it.  guess i'll have to be
>satisfied with that smug feeling of satisfaction.

>i know, i know, its jealousy/sour grapes cause i've never won either . . . .
