    Tony-mac makes a a few good points, one is cost, like a lot , I havnt had a pay rise for 4 yr , and not getting one this year either.. Two,, We've all seen the top no expense spared escorts at various show, where when the owner is saying , oh I paid a grand for thatNOS part and bought every other nos part that seller had, blah blah blah..can't stand braggers!!
    Then we have RS snobbery within RS cars, in that if your car isn't a low owner low mileage motor or the subject of a 5 figure resto then lesser cars are pulled down for what ever reason.. So that may cause owners with such cars but still nice to stay away because of derogatory comments , I know this from
    Some the shows I have attended...
    Finally, let's hope the damn weather is better in2013 and that we can get our cars out to shows .
    Live to regret ..or regret to live.

          I also love talking about my cars when people ask me at shows, even when doing concours i always made time to answer peoples questions. I'm not one for criticising others cars but if people ask my opinion i will give it honestly. Its nice to see all types of escorts from rs's to 4 doors, to rotboxes etc they are all special imo. For those that remember my first rs it was a shitter but i loved it and had to start somewhere.

          I hope this thread encourages more cars out next year

                            Not really interested in just seeing a bunch of the same cars sat in a field any more. These days there are plenty of places that shows can be arranged at to make them more appealing.

                            The Goodwood events moved the whole classic car scene on, the car park at the revival is the best classic car show bar non in the UK at the moment.



                            Personally I'm getting my car back on the road to use, if people want to see it it will be in the car parks of Wiscombe, Prescott, Shelsey but will not be driven 100 plus miles to sit in a field for a day. Each of these venues have roped off display areas for car clubs. Never scene a Ford club at any.

                            There is no need now to go to shows and rummage through the Autojumbles, the Internet has changed all that, for the better I'd say.
