Mk 2 Escort 'scene'

[Chesney]

Is it me or has anyone else felt that the scene this year has not been what it has in previous years?? Usually see a lot of folks at different shows but this year it seems to have been very quiet. I know money is an issue for people but the enthusiasm and crack just doesn't seem to be there. Also a lot of people are selling their cars and becoming disillusioned with them.

I hope its just a passing phase cos most of the time its a great thing to be involved in. What do you guys think??

yeah the crack has died down and not been to as many events. i do miss the crack we used to have on here as things have gone for too serious now!

[Banishit]

i still keep looking in but everything seems to have gone a bit lack lustre, i know i dont have a car anymore but, would still like one, things have got to expensive and there are too many arguments about nothing in particular, there used to be alot of contact but now its dead in the water, dont know why though

[jimmer]

Weathers been shite and some get very touchy on here when trying to have a light-hearted conversation. This puts many off. Also many people talk non-Escort topics in the wrong sections.

i think the problem is we all used to come on here and just have general crack and a laugh but certain people didnt like that. so now we have to talk escorts all day (which bores me) the crack has gone!

lakes tour...biggest entry yet?
Avo day loads of people there and more cars on the stands.
rsoc...seems to be well attended and lots in concours
ford fair more stands than ever i believe

ive met lots of new people from here, though some old regulars may have drifted away for whatever reasons, maybe you mean the old members from here ches?

so we're not talking shows etc, is the site ches means

[Andyc]

lots of folk still look in but dont post me thinks its to do with money folk are looking after their cash so the first thing to go is their toys

[Aled]

I think Ches means the 'scene' not the site

I think its down to fuel costs, the credit crunch.....etc etc. It's quite an expensive thing these days to travel to the shows and then pay to get in.

I enjoy local car shows with a mix of cars.....oh and they are free to get in

i mean the whole scene dave, doesn't seem to have the buzz about it that it has had in the years previous. I've been to a few shows this year but alot of the usual suspects aint been there, lakes excepted. I didn't go to ford fair cos we had a christening on but there didn't seem to be any interest in a old school stand like there was last year. Like i said I just feel that the scene aint what it was and wondered what people thought

[Andyc]

As already said money, price of things eg running costs entry fees and the worst thing of all bumping into the Notts lads
Like now i have aranged combe but only a few want it there nowt else on

[hally]

i think this year has been a very difficult year for most of us! price of fuel major issue! your right ches no buzz around at all. last year we had alot more outings,camping etc maybe next year will be diffrent?

i thinl if it wasnt for rse the scence would be dead!

[Frosticles]

Escorts are crap, That's why...........

Really do miss the "Crack" that we used to have a few years ago with the day shift, Bangla Bangers etc. Sorry, but have to agree that it has gone too serious now most of the time.
