George I totally agree with you a shiny that doesn't see the rain and snow holds no personal appeal whatsoever to me, I can be happy that some people like polishing and things but I prefer a well patinated car for personal use and to look at it's a good job we are all different.
That is one of the main reasons I don't go to the annual Mog events a single marque of shiny things doesn't work for me. Did I mention polishing comes below hoovering for me ..
I always give my 21 year old an annual polish whether she needs it or not because she's worth it .
Walking in slowly around the inner car parking area at Revival is a pure joy for me and normally takes around a couple of hours to drink in the most amazing old machinery that has been driven there come rain or shine just wonderful that these owners share with us all their treasures and amazing to see how far some have travelled to attend our Mecca of old cars.
