Default Cheeky parking

Today, the local car museum had a run for vintage cars. When we arrived at the Swing Bridge, The Victorian T club were occupying the car park. So, whilst the other museum club members parked else where, I decided to park my modern A with the old cars, T's. A bit cheeky, but fun, and T drivers like fun.

Here’s cheeky parking! Local cars & coffee is put on by the Porsche club. My Model A powered roadster screws up their lineup! Porsche owners have no sense of humor…asked me to move and I refused.

I can just imagine what the Porshe guys thought of you, and what they had to say!

Yup, park there and show those old cars who is the boss. Challenge them to an uphill race!

As far as I'm concerned your car is the most interesting in the line up with the 914 being second . The rest are everyday cars without much soul but a lot of plastic.

Same thing happened to a friends dad in 1968. At the Daytona 24 hour Jerry Titus put Shelby's TranAm Mustang into 4th over all behind the 3 factory Porsche prototypes. He wanted to be in the finish photo and Porsche kept trying to wave him back so he didn't ruin their 1-2-3 PR shot. How dare that Mustang keep up with our state of the art million dollar cars......

Considering there were numerous open spaces very nearby, I can't quite grasp why you would do this?

So the next time I arrive at one of your shows and park one of my Porsches in the middle of the row of A's... you're okay with that? Or would you think I'm being a dick?

Personally, I'd never do such a thing. I don't care for hot rods but can appreciate a well put together example. And I can certainly respect the fact that others love the hot rods.

As I said, Porsche owners don’t have a sense of humor! FYI, my wife sold her wide body Carrera AWD 6 speed last year. She has a sense of humor

I am laughing at you. Does that count as a sense of humor?

I take that as a compliment and that certainly is the first step in getting a sense of humor.
