Drove over to Safety Harbor, on the other side of Tampa Bay from me for the All British Car Show on Saturday. There I found Bugsy in competition with no less than 8 Bugeyes, 3 of which were appearing in shows for the first time with all new paint, shiny everywhere, and absolutely beautiful. And me with Bugsy, a car with the worst paint, an unfinished work in progress with all mechanicals complete, but really the worst paint of any car at this show. Other car owners must have liked Bugsy's Story as to my surprise Bugsy was awarded a 3rd place trophy in this show. I was totally dumbfounded. All I can say is they liked Bugsy's patina. Call it patina, call it a rat rod look, but they were all impressed with the mechanical upgrades, suspension upgrades, and by the fact that for the most part I've done all of this by myself. it wasn't me that won this award it was Bugsy, a one owner Los Angeles Car that I was fortunate to acquire, and give a new home to a few years back. Let's just say, "I was Chuffed!!!"
