Well I went to a car show sponsered by the local PT Crusier Club. (First mistake) There were lots of nice cars (all types,new and old) and well to tell the truth my MINI was one of the most looked at cars of the day. I have entered it in six shows and have won five of them since August.The guy that ran the show approched me and asked if I new of the local MINI and VW clubs. They want to have a retro car car show. Not a bad idesa I thought to myself. Well to make a long story short. I told him after the show we would exchange e-mail addresses. The end came and the awards were given. And to my disbelief I did not get an award. They gave some to a Ford Focus Mustang lots of old cars from the 30,40,50 and 60's. Some new Vettes. But no MINI. So many people came up to me and said I was ripped off. Well needless to say the PT guy never came back to me for my address. Lucky him. Because I would of let him know that his PT crap is just that a big pile of crap. won't be back for there show again. And my car is still.....

Sheeze man, just 'cause you didn't get an award, no need to get pissy about it!

We all know our MINI's are amazing, award or not. Perhaps the judging was based on a criteria you didn't know about, and happen to not fit.
