Well said, Bill. Not everyone's cup of tea but no reason for the article not to be in Profiles. I think we're all happier to see a Profiles with a 'not our cup of tea' than no Profiles at all. Driving and enjoying our cars are the main thing. After all, we've all seen cars that could be said to be ugly just due to the color.  :)


A fact is that we recently had an old member renew his POCA membership now that he can expect a Profiles on a regular basis. Woo-hoo!!!!

Truth be told , not my cup of tea. Trailer queens are.....

   I much prefer
to drive it drive it drive it. I have over 5000 miles so
   far this calendar
year, and planning on doing the PNW fall cruise.

   not afraid to get rained
on, or snow.

   If you guys haven't received your copy of Profiles
yet, maybe look in
   your
   dustbin again. The envelope with what you
thought was a GT40 magazine
   sent
   to you by mistake was in fact the
Profiles, with the black Pantera with
   GT40
   front and rear etc. that
Profiles had the IMO poor taste to put on the
   cover
   and rear and
centerfold.
   I of course quickly turned to the build-text, because I wanted
to try
   to
   understand WHY? Was there a Pantera with smashed front and
rear and a
   GT40
   parked on railway tracks so only front and rear was
saved? No, the
   author
   states "for some crazy reason". Indeed.
   I saw
this car at POCA in Arizona a few years ago, where it was parked
   in
   the
"look-at-me" spot right in front of the doors, so you had to walk
   around
  
it. After refusing the first couple of times, I did take the time to
   look
it
   over. And the craftsmanship was excellent including mirror like pint.
  
Sometimes when you see "menacingly modified" (quote from Profiles) cars
  
like
   this, but well done, you can state "I don't like it, but I'm
impressed
   with
   the craftsmanship". Well not here, not this one. Even
though the
   craftsmanship is good, you do not build your car to look like
another
   brand.
   As simple as that.
   I hope the skillful builder gets
the GT40 he really wants and leaves
   our
   Panteras alone. And I hope
Profiles editor has better judgment going
   forward. In the same envelope was
the Membership Renewal Notice. Brave!
   Whether I renew or not depends on the
reaction to this mail. Am I alone
   here?
