I had a somewhat brief encounter with the NTBA a couple of years ago and thought they were pretty much a bunch of ............. oh, forget it, they're not worthy of further consideration. Well maybe a little.
I don't recall there were any outstanding cars in terms of imagination, creativity, style and certianly not in workmanship. Mind you, I didn't see'em all, but some of those I did see looked like lash-ups and not particularly road worthy. I called a coupe of them Roach Rods and I don't mean to insult roaches.
I've also flirted with a couple of other forums. I can be extremely nasty when provoked and I've advised more than one or two individuals if they want to match wits with me they would be well advised to have some. Those other forums were lillte than outlets for shallow dirty-mouthed idiots making stupid comments while hiding behind the annonimity (yes, I guessed at spelling) of the web.
The other item I should add is that I am not a joiner. I coudln't care less about a newsletter, a wallet card, a window sticker, a t-shirt, discounts on rental cars, hotels, pre-paid phone cards or a coupon for a five dollar discount on a three week stay in a condo in Calcutta.
Maybe I've become more spunky knowing this forum is good for another month.
Carry on Gents.
