Richard,
I agree with you. If the goal is truly the restoring of LBC's then positive,
constructive feedback is a must if maximum benefit is to be obtained from
the judging events.
While I have never had my TR4 at a VTR meet, my VW Converts have been in
several shows and
feedback is furnished. I know my TR4 would get roasted because of all the
oil dripping from the body panels.
I started shooting the hard to reach places with oil when I bought the car
in '80. I'll bet a judge heavily
frowns on that, but I have a TR4 with all original panels and VERY, VERY,
VERY little rust. My point? I've preserved the car,
but my frame isn't clean enough to eat off of and would score LOW. Just my $.02
BTW, what did the drunk person do?
