Pretty nauseating to think of the percentage of the GDP that goes solely for
impressing others. What a waste! The Roll, Bentley, and newer Jaguar
owners (as well as some of the owners of older Jags) seem to be all about
image.
However, in my neck of the woods, I've found that the vast majority of
Triumph, Big Healey and MG owners are not into the snobbery end of the
hobby. The ones that do play the snob game get laughed at, behind their
backs, and are generally ignored by the majority.
My personal automotive philosophy is that the only one my car must impress
is ME.

Hello Frank,
i was at the ABFM in Seattle, (bellevue actually,,, anyway).. i
was up admiring the bentleys... one of them said oh, darn,
everybody needs to get back in their cars to get their pictures
taken again, as i had no film in the camera... everybody
started moving around and i said hey, i'll gladly let you take
a pic of me in my car, anytime... ... ... a rather nice lady
said, oh, and which one is yours? .... i said, well actually
mine isn't one of these benltely's but rather, i have the
lowest form of british car, mines a down the hill, a SPRITE...
oh, i said, unless you count those MORRIS people. .....
.... she said oh yes, AND those land rover people, .. i don't
even know why they let them in with us. they ought to be off in
some mud hole with the jeeps! LOLOL....
yes, as tom paxon said... every body needs somebody that they
can look down on, someone to be better than that's not as good
as they.!...
on a similar note, everybody knows that the bug-eyes are more
desireable, (further up the chain) than the square bodys, the
sprite square bodies ahead of the midget square bodies, and
those ahead of the rubber bumper midgets... .. .. one can
argue all one wants as to the merits of each, but the MARKET
speaks with the loudest voice.
