Ahh, words to live by.

I hope that all the concours-quality Tiger owners didn't veiw my 
earlier message as flippant.  The very idea that everyone receive a 
first-place trophy?  Why, that's just silly!!   I have as much respect 
and admiration as anyone for the cost in $$ & labor that's involved in 
crafting and maintaining a true, correct restoration. 

John Crawley said it better than I did - where I proposed everyone 
should be a winner, he declared that there would be no losers at their 
All-British Motor Meet.  An important distinction.  No concours 
judging, no hurt feelings, no stolen lollipop and no stamping feet 
because everyone gets the same size cream cake!  Utopia!  Save the 
battles for the boardroom and let's go have some fun.
