Hally could be packing in RS Concours

[hally]

well its never going to get any better with your attitude towards it! im very proud of winning or just getting given the gold cup! i loved going to all the shows and competing against alan! yes i did more shows than alan but that was so i didnt miss out on winning the cup! why dont you all concours next year and make an effort? oh i know why cause you have family commitments, dont like the concours people and would have nothing to moan about, but im sure you will find something else!

[hally]

oh and i never drove over them they fell off seat on way home! and im very upset about breaking them because they mean alot to me and the peple who helped me even though i had only one other competitor who could be bothered to show!

[miss npo]

hally you better not be packing in i like you we have a good laugh , wont be the same without you the one day wonder's dont bother me i want to show against a certain delivery mileage car thats never been shown before , but everyone has a diffrence of opinion on this matter just one of them things and im sure whatever the outcome at the AGM we will all have to live with it , but your not stopping showing hally i wont let you

[RS2000CUSTOM]

what i find hard is the concours people want it to stay and the people who dont do concours what it changing? why?

Nothing hard about it really ?????????

Current participants like The 2 day rule because it increases the odds in their favour for winning at National Day.

Those that do not or no longer participate in concours want it changed so ALL (yes the word ALL means everybody) RSOC Members can compete against similar model RS's at the pinnacle of the Show Season - NATIONAL DAY

I only hope next year that The RSOC Committee protects its finances and ensures that Regional Days make a sound business plan and DO NOT run at a loss with the potential of dragging the club into serious financial difficulties and then have to rely on (ooh let me think here, oh yes I got it now) NATIONAL DAY to make a £30k profit and bail em out.

National Day should be for the members to get out their cars for all to see and not just for the 70 log books applied for in 2008

Pity all 70 log book entrants (of which I did not have one) in 2008 couldnt be RS'ed to show at National Day after all the fuss they made about banning One Day Wonders

[hally]

bloody hell i agree with you dave all reg days should be self funding like we where this year!

well thank you mandy did enjoy the crack last year!

[RS2000CUSTOM]

well thank you mandy did enjoy the crack last year!

Pics please

[topaz]

why dont you all concours next year and make an effort? oh i know why cause you have family commitments, dont like the concours people and would have nothing to moan about, but im sure you will find something else!

there is nothing i want more than parking in a field of mexico's and polishing my bits, sadly that's not going to happen due to the anal club rules and log books etc.

did you ever walk over to the mk2's at national day? that was a show within a show in my eyes and I would of been proud to park there and show my car.

[Tim]

do as the avo club do for ND,all members sign in to get there plaque and if you open your bonnet then your in concourse,am sure there more rules than that but thats the basis's

[hally]

[RS2000CUSTOM]

where they all rs owner club members?

they had to be it was Ruddy's Registrars Display

[hally]

yeah all members..............

[Chesney]

the display was bang on, was a pleasure to be part of it

[Alan Cox]

Current participants like The 2 day rule because it increases the odds in their favour for winning at National Day.

Not all the current participants like the rule for this reason ! !

[RS2000CUSTOM]

where they all rs owner club members?

yeah all members..............

You already knew the answer so why ask it ?

Only RSOC members could be part of the display

Or are you getting mixed up with The Works Team 52 cars on display at Stanford Hall at AVO Day 2008 when it clashed with Northants Regional Day ?

52 cars and not all were RSOC members

My car isn't concours, but it is a genuine 90k mile example with all original panels and a few modifications.

I can't compete against the concours boys. Partly because I drive my car to all the shows I attend and park in the muddy fields the night before but also because I personally do not want to sit all day cleaning my car and having to sit by it waiting for the judges to come and inspect it.

I would love to be able to enter my car in a 'show and shine' for everyday driven cars where the judges will look at the originality of your car and accept that there is some dust on the seat runners, that you do have some dirt in your tyre treads and god forbid you have not removed every bit of brake dust from your wheels

I don't take my car to shows to try and win awards (that's my choice) but when someone comes up and says that your car looks nice and personally thanks you for having it on display this is worth more than any medal or award.
