Anybody remember that song? That was me today at the DC area Deutsche Marque Concours today. Didn't hang around for the awards. Getting 1st place because I had the only car in the class seemed rather hollow
There were a bunch of us who had planned on attending but opted not to due to the weather. How wet was the field? I had anticipated it would be a mud bog after everyone started walking all over the place.

The field wasn't too bad, I thought it might be mushy where you pull off the asphalt and it was, I stayed to one side and it was OK. Got pretty messy as more cars arrived though. A couple of bare spots on the top of the field were still muddy. I escaped mud free by going between the trees to the gravel road that borders the park.
Thanks for the complements guys, I won first place here in 2014 against few other cars but I felt I earned that. I missed the show last year and apparently they only had two entrants. Bring them out and show them off guys. They don't have to be perfect. Just having a 25 to 40 year old survivor. is something to be proud of.
Lot of people stopped by and talked to me about it and the judges were impressed with it's originality. I imagine there were some negatives muttered somewhere but I never heard any. A common theme was these are underrated and undervalued cars. Brings to mind a quote from someone I can't remember, "Some people know the cost of everything and the value of nothing."
