I have over the years acquired a number of trophies when luck and my vast autocross experience has managed to triumph over my total lack of natural talent.  I'm proud of them, but the fun of autocross is why I keep doing it, and will continue as long as I can qualify for a driver's license.

The only way I will ever get a concours trophy is if I buy a perfect car from somebody else and enter it in a concours before I have had enough time to screw it up.
