Dave:
I was at the show in Wadsworth last weekend, and was interested to see a
Spitfire in the line of show cars wearing barely any paint and lots of rust
-- but sitting proudly in line!
Last year, I drove the TR3A to the show and parked in a nearby lot, like you.
This year I drove the Bugeye, and just went right on in, parked in the show
lot near a couple TR3As and a Cobra, and spent several hours walking around.
When I was leaving, there were four or five guys discussing my Bugeye, which
is not remotely in show condition. Stood and talked with them for 20 minutes
or so, then left. No muss, no fuss. Next year, just drive on in like you
know what you're doing!
