 I totally agree with Tom about Porsche's, I love the cars, don't like the
owners (and I was one of them, had 2 x 911's in 90's). If your on a ride in a
classic car almost all other clubs will acknowledge you except the Porsche
club. I asked my brother-in-law about this, he has a '06 - 911 cab and his
reply was it's because Porsche are superior to every car in every way,
performance, handling, build quality, pride of ownership, life style
experience........(can you believe it!) So I asked about the performance, I
have a 1993 Corvette ZR1 (405HP, 0-100 10.6secs) and I asked him if he wanted
a drag race? His reply" its not always about the numbers!
 By the way Ron, the ZR1 has a Lotus motor can I bring it on a NOBBC ride?
:))
Regarding the Concours I thought it was excellent and well worth the money, I
enjoy the diversity and the quality of the cars, and I'm glad we have such a
outstanding event so close.  I will be there again this year.

My attitude towards that Marin show is (like last year) it's too damn
expensive, BUT (this year) at least I'd get to hang around a bunch of Porsche
owners! I used to LIKE vintage Porsches, but their owners are soooooooooo
(censored).
   THAT show,  in my mind, is the worst of all worlds.
    I'd rather PUSH a Grinnall Scorpion than DRIVE a Porsche. And I'd take
solitary over talking to their prig owners.
