Re: Here's why...
"what were you hoping for?" Basically, consistancy in the judging process. It seems that a two top car judged with a hardtop requires evidence of a soft top or evidence that it was purchased as a hardtop only car, but not the reverse. Half the available points one way, no deduction the other. I think judging one top or the other is fair enough. I might suggest one way to judge a convertible with hardtop attachments, presented without a hardtop, would be to judge it in a fashion similar to a shark with a luggage carrier. In that manner you are making the assumption that the hardtop is an accessory; austensibly purchased and installed by the dealer or owner. Otherwise, to be fair, one shouldn't have to provide evidence that the car presented with a hardtop is a hardtop only car or has the ragtop installed. The preceeding are the rambling thoughts of an aging mind belonging to a two top car owner (with both tops).
