same here - saw my 1st one in 1990, then all of them up to 2001 then they started treating us like sheep and i just lost interest after, although i was considering doing Myherin tomozz until work intervened
I remember literally waiting for hours to get out of sweet lamb due to the sheer volume of spectators, and on other stages, sleeping in cars in the forest waiting for early morning stages cold wet and grumpy, but we enjoyed it really.
Used to be highlight of my year, some good friends, plenty of beer and fodder, and a convoy of cars.
Nearest thing to that now is the RAC started to follow that instead, brings back some memories of the original atmosphere.
I know things move on but the wrc is no longer for me, a 70's 80's and 90's world rally championship would apeal more and make entry fee's to stages realistic, a rally show before hand, propper service halts chase cars, etc, wow i can almost smell the hot mud on exhausts now!
