Just back in town after a week's sojourn to Canada for the Intermeccanica customer appreciation B-B-Q. The 'Q' itself was attended by quite an array of past and present replica owners. You could tell the ones waiting for their new cars because they were still drooling with anticipation AFTER we ate!
As a prospective customer myself, I found it interesting to be able to see cars built in 1976, 1978, through the eighties and of course still 'in the jig'.
As was said elsewhere on this forum, the word 'kit' really doesn't do these cars justice. While the earlier IM cars were a bit primitive by todays standards, their owners had every right to be just as proud of their little gem. They all showed pride of ownership and on the ensuing adventures into the backwoods of Victoria, all performed flawlessly!
Thank you Henry and all the party-planners. It is as simple as this; get in your cars and drive them. If you want to belong to a club fine, but don't look for acceptance, look for open roads!
