I attended a local Hooters car show yesterday and drove off with a first place win in the import class . My car was up against a Ferrari 308 , Porsche 928, Porsche Carrera Turbo 911, Triumph Stag and a hand full of Tuner cars. That was a great feeling. It's amazing the question you get at car shows. The #1 question was "Is it real?" My come back was "its only your imagination". I think the flares were a dead give away. There were some individuals that were persistent did not let up. I would asked them to define "Real". Then I asked them if the Chevelle's and Camero's that were cloned as SS models were real? So the final reply was "my car is a modified Replica of a 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster." Of course there were a few asking if the car was a kit car .I told them I didn't have any instructions to build my car. So was it truly a kit? The custom frame and all the mod's weren't options. The fiberglass 32 Ford coupe down the ways apparently wasn't a kit. JPS, Vintage , and IM turn key cars are not kits. They are manufactured replicas. So overall there were a hand full of know-it-all's trying to address their expertise regarding my car. A majority of the onlookers commented on how cool it looked. It was a great day.
