[DML] Re: Judging DeLoreans

["Sliprock" <sliprock@xxxx>]

These letters concerning the judging of Deloreans brings to mind what
happened to me this year. For the record, I buy classic sports cars to
enjoy, not show, and if others like seeing them that's great. I never seek
to have them judged.

Fathers Day of this year I took my D to a great, and huge, car show. Of
course the best parking spaces were had by those who showed their vehicles
so naturally I registered and parked among the sports cars.

More people stopped to look at, and admire, my nice, but not concours, car
than any other in the entire show. It was almost embarrassing. BUT, when
time came to judge, they would not even consider judging mine. You see, one
needed a fire extinguisher to be judged. I had none. They almost seemed
pleased. My wife and I laughed all the way home. Others got the trophys,
but we had more fun.

So, those of you who are concened about being concours, just remember, your
D is probably more popular and more unusual. A distinction most of the
others will never have. Enjoy the moment.
