Dino Love Thrives!

The weekend before last I took my Dino to a local show where I first displayed it in 1978. The event, sponsored by a regional British marque club, has had four different venues in forty-plus years, and in past years, the application form allowed an exhibitor to check a box that said "Do not judge." I never had the car judged by the club-member volunteers. Under what is becoming a very popular formula, there are apparently now a number of "people's-choice" categories for awards, though I don't know what all of them are. I left the show about 2 1/2 hours before awards were given, due to the extremely hot and humid weather, and because awards are never on my mind. Yesterday, a club representative contacted me, telling me that the club had been trying to locate me to give me two trophies for my Dino. I picked up a box with the trophies, and when I got home and opened it, I was surprised and very pleased with the categories. One was for "Future Sports Car Owner's Choice," and the other was for "Car You Want to Drive Home In." I guess the Dino still has it, for both young and old, whether Ferrari or just "almost"!

Thanks for the kind words, Andres. Best regards, Fred

 

Thanks, guys! The most fun at car shows occurs when people who know nothing about a particular car are somehow drawn to it. When many people from different perspectives all like the same car, it says that it is something special. I don't think that any of us Dinomaniacs wouldn't consider the Dino special. After all, it's the Ferrari that tifosi love to hate! Fred
