[TR] vote criterion

[Joe Curry]

Absolutely!  And I am sure that if asked, anyone would close the bonnet (as
I did on Tiny Tim at the Dallas VTR) when asked.

I has a bad experience at the Portland ABFM a few years back with a girl who
had a well finished Mk3 Spit.  It was beautiful inside and out but she
refused to open the bonnet.  Turns out that she had spend countless bucks on
the leather interior and paint & body work but neglected totally the engine
compartment.  She did NOT get my vote.

But surely, Joe, you must realize that a Spitfire or GT6 looks better 
with the bonnet closed, and that when it is open it hides dings, 
scratches, rust on the bonnet's leading edge or on the front bumper, 
and that no one can see the triumphs at autox.team.net badge on the 
grill, nor even the grill itself.
