BELLA VISTA

bootlegger:
I am totally against being competetive at any type of show. Anyone who makes an effort to bring something deserves the praise of their peers and the public and thats enough.
I have never been able to work out how one thing can be judged better than another (even the cars that arent perfect are still loved by someone).
People that are only driven by their egos only go home dissapointed in the end (even if they do win a trophy).
I have owned old cars and bikes since I could drive. I have only ever won one trophy for best paint on my Harley ( which I probably didnt deserve). The only other time I tried to win a trophy was at The bankstown Bike show where there was a specific category for my Model. I had just finished a concourse resto on this bike (1968 FLH) only to be beaten by a guy that had bought a brand new one 6 weeks before (work that one out).
All my cars are drivers. I love going to shows and showing off my stuff. What I like more is driving off when Im done after having a good day.
After restoring cars for myself and others over the last 20 years it always amazes me how some of my customers are driven more by recognition rather than the passion for the object even to the point of saying they did it all themselves the (most recent example being that "Cryptonite" T Bucket at Motorex). I painted it and another guy put it together.
The only competition that should be entertained is one where there is a clear winner such as sport whether it be physical or mechanical (racing). My two bobs worth.
