When I go to car shows (which are more general in nature than our 
marque-specific shows) I hate to see cars with the bonnet/hod open.  To me, the 
car is art, and while one engine looks pretty much the same as the next, the 
beauty is in the lines of the car - which are spoiled by open bonnets, boots, 
etc.

I will be happy to open any cover for anyone who wants to see what's 
underneath, but when I show my car, it's as nature and Karmann and Michelotti 
intended...
