Excellent points!!! I've gotten to the point where showing the cars is
a real downer. I do 98% of my own work and can take pride in my cars.
Yes, when I show one, it's nice to be recognized for the effort (work)
I've put into it.
But I have to agree, it's great to have them driven. Regretably, I haven't
put enough miles on my Morgan since I finished her in 92.
I'd rather see someone's car that has been modified, or what ever, dirty
from use, etc, than just a lot of money sitting on a show field.
