[DeTomaso] Desert Concorso?

[audionut at hushmail.com]

Everyone feel free to kick my ass on this one but....
Other than physically being assembled/built in Italy by Italians, is
the Pantera really a thoroughbred  "Italian" car in the same way, say,
Lambo and Ferrari are?
Birthed by an Argentinian, designed by a Swede (guessing on that
one....), powered by an American....
We show up at Concorso Italiano's like a blue mohawk'd, punk rock 3rd
cousin shows up at a royal family wedding. 
We are invited, of course, but if we aren't there does anybody notice?

               From the heart of the mid continent exotic sports car

event from Mike Drew's email.   I need wonder no more.   You have

all the aspects of the lack of enthusiasm for Concorso.

Where are the rest of us?

Possible answers:

... Saving enough money for Monterey Concorso.

... Not willing to drive 450 miles, one way, from Bay Area

... Not interested in just another apparent money-grab production from
the
Concorso Cartel

... Still getting Winter projects completed. Yes, it is still Winter
here in
70-80 degree, Sunny California. :-)

... Personal silent protest over the Monterey Concorso's move to
Saturday
which is a terrible conflict with the
    arguably 'best' day of Laguna Seca racing.

... The once-a-year Monterey Concorso exposure to the LOOK AT MY LAMBO
AND
ITS LOUD PAINT crowd is enough.

... Fear of repeat of previous inept entry procedures where average
April
temp in Palm Desert is 88. March is 81. 

... One day of poser, gold-chain, trophy-wife,"OHHH, LOOK, a red
Ferrari
!!!" exposure is enough for the year.

YMMV   ;-)

Larry
