Drive it 50 miles down a dusty road, into a water crossing, through a mud pit and straight to the show. You'd get my vote in an instant.

In all seriousness, you have the right state of mind. Car shows are for two types of people... trophy hunters and car nuts. Sounds like you're a car nut. In that case, go to the show, share your car to other people, complete with quirks, personal touches, modifications, etc. Tell the story of each nick and dent to anyone interested. Anyone who scoffs at you or your car will never know the true joy these cars can offer, and aren't worth a passing thought.

Well, if you make it to So Cal, I'll take you for a real TC drive so the dirt gets on my car instead of yours. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

In the dirt at Mount Hood.


Touring the back roads, beyond the pavement.


60 MPH on logging roads.


And still took 3rd place, because people appreciate a driver.

I might hold you to that...I plan on making a trip upon retirement, have a car(probably the 61 A) shipped to vancouver and then drive all the way down the coast /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif.....Someday /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cryin.gif
 
In the concours type shows, I don't get too far into the parking lot. In regular shows I've shown my cars for years. Mostly I have drivers and once in a while a pretty decent version. But I enter regardless-- right next to the guys who have pristine versions of mine. They're happy 'cause their cars looks better, I'm happy because I can see and compliment them on their cars and I'm right in the middle of the show and don't have to go far to interact with all the other car folks.
