That sort of thing happens a lot. I went to a car show in Portland, Or once
and they gave a trophy to a guy whose door jams didn't even match his body
color and had a homemade trailer hitch on his '68 Galaxie bumper "Because he
came to every show and never won anything". When the time for the long
distance trophy came around, I'd come 100 miles further than the next closest
but they were going to give it to the other guy anyway. The presenter on the
stage tried to press on with the presentation while the crowd shouted at him
and looked visibly upset when he finally gave up and gave the trophy to me. I
gave the trophy to one of my grandsons and never went back to that show. Just
remember, you can buy all the trophies you want for $10-$15 each if you have
to have them. I go to visit with people and don't worry what the political
wonks think of me or my cars. Just have fun.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] One of a kind Cobra
I think it must be a real Cobra, based on my recent experience anyway.
2 weeks ago I took my Tiger to a local club show. There were only
2 foreign cars there. Me and an Anglia hot rod. The "judges" gave the best
foreign trophy to a Ford woodie because they knew the owner was in
poor health ????
Better than that they have a category Best 60/70's car. The ahem "judges"
awarded that to a replica Cobra. Not even a real car and not even built
in the 60's or 70's.
Go figure
Steve
