P car owners can be just as bad. There was a local track day from rennlist recently, my daughter and I showed up just to watch. We were basically chased away. Don't park there (more vehicles in front of us), don't stand there, etc. Really sad was that the water cooled guys thought the 356 was a vw....

There IS a lot of truth in that. Back when my 930 was running and I actually had a P-Car to take to the local events (hope to fire up the new engine this weekend), I was always so shocked at how little SOME of the **cough**cough**water pumper crowd**cough**cough ** knew or cared about the older iron. Not trying to generalize here, just stating what I observed from some individuals. I mean these guys would be off in one corner of the parking lot discussing which crest (gold or silver) would look better on the hood or which cell phone and/or iPod holder offered greater cockpit fung-shei. The guys who showed up with the old skool oil leakers (like myself) were there to talk about major DIY projects and were all over each other's cars checking out the engines and such - not just the accessories that get merely bolted on. Even though we all ventured to look at the "new" cars and ask questions, they never bothered with us. They could have cared less that an immaculate nut and bolt 356SC restoration was there. It just struck me as odd. Sort of put me off. I dunno, in their defense maybe they felt the same thing (that we didn't appreciate their cars)...however, they never ventured from their comfort zone to check out the older cars as we had done to come see theirs!

To each his own...
