[Kcup] Gather on the Green. Car Show

[jason at multivintage.com]

Funny, as an antique dealer my opinion on patina is deep. In general, patina is the single most important factor of historical value. It is the visual reference point of the object's experience. Created by nature, use and abuse, it is the true guide of authenticity. Without it, you have only the nothingness that exists as potential... An obvious void of the objects meaning, a false reality. 
In my industry, there is a word used to describe the beautiful objects that look really nice but are void of any tell tale signs of authenticity. We call them... FAKE.

I know Leo Oddi is planning on coming, his TR250 would do us proud.

There are so many TR4's racing, that's not an easy call. All I know is
don't pick mine unless you are looking to show LOTS of race car
patina...

I suggest we invite Jerry Barker to show his Spitfire, the car has the
provenance. Unless he brings the racing Herald, then he HAS to show
that.

Has somebody reached out to the lucky person the Beady Eye boys gave the
Tornado to and try to get him to bring it? That car absolutely belongs
in the show.

I think Dean Tetterton is planning on coming, but the Warwick may have
seen it's last race weekend at Summit Point this year. Nothing happened,
just Dean pulled the car out of retirement for that race to be on track
with the Peerless that runs out here. Dean is talking about buying a
Rover V8 and making the thing really scoot and use it for rallies. With
the TR motor, it's really not a fast car!

So here's a thought, any chance there is room to do a display of track
cars and another of street cars?
