Ha ha AMCO72, Im still laughing, "hotted up VW's",...."autocrosser and not crossdresser" - I think you've nailed it! I think it was a member of the automotive press who once remarked that Porsches were just "rear engined Nazi slotcars". Unfortunately there are a few racing Porsches that I could quite happily own, ....917. I think Jamie's pretty well on track with us here too. Anywho, I digress, what is unfortunate, is to see good or even great cars go to waste, as some of those photos show. Its a shame that so often cars that have a significance or relevance can fall into the hands of someone of questionable mentality. Worse still, when that person has money, more often than not, they're labelled as "eccentric". Then the rest of us mortals have to watch as the horrors unfold over the ensuing years
