[TR] vote criterion

[Jim Bauder]

My process on Participants Choice car shows is to do a walk through of each
class, then go back and go over the cars that caught my eye. I become more
critical at that point and I look to see if the owner actually cleaned and
prepared the car, after all this is a Car Show, so the cars should be
detailed,
cleaned and displayed so as to show case the car in its best light. There is
no
excuse for dirt and/or dust on the paint or chrome, smudges on the
windshield,
filthy carpets, messy/dirty boot or soil and dust anywhere on the car that
could
have easily been removed. I also eliminate any car that has the boot and/or
bonnet closed.

Just my two cents, polished and dusted!

Listers:
Attended my first British show of the season this past Sunday in Columbus,
Ohio
and on the way back home (3 hour drive) I wondered what do you look for
before
your cast your vote in Participant Choice shows?  With a line of say  a dozen
TR6s, what determines your preference?

Personally I will never vote for a car with the bonnet closed!  Being  a
confirmed Concours freak, I look for "correctness" and the last thing is the
owners name on the placard to refrain from "friends" voting.
