    been going through old rally news mags and read quite a few articles about concource cars and how they reached that stage ,you have to take your hat of to them they spend hours upon hours ,days even cleaning everything and then some of them drove it to the show to spend another 6 hours cleaning again ,i could never do that for one i donnt have the patience

    You need to become a trailer queen to save driving the car and wearing it out. Then the car can become an ornament, to be polished and gazed at.........the real sad gits put mirrors under the cars as well!

        I used to use my RS2000 (OEC902V) for work during the week, parked in the works car park with huge radioactive seagulls dancing on the roof, then I'd clean it Friday/Saturday and show it on Sunday after driving it to the show.

        Oh, and we took the kids on holiday in it and still showed it.

            I loved it and that's from someone who said he'd never do it. Takes a lot of commitment and effort. Also I did drive it to the shows.

                  Did concourse for years and never trailored ? Didn't have one Did the lakes tour on the saturday and concourse on the Sunday, Ask anyone that knows me I'm not kind to tyres
                  It's hard work keeping them up to standard and when you get up on sunday to drive 150 miles and look out of that window to see it pi$$ing down after a week of evening cleaning the underside!!! It would make a saint swear,
                  Made some good friends with it tho especially in the late 90,s when there was plenty of entries

                    Been there, done it. Doubt I will ever do it again. Really enjoyed it & teaches you a LOT.

                        yOUR CAR WILL NEVER BE AS CLEAN AS WHEN YOU DO CONCOURSE. It certainly teaches you a lot but you become scared of getting it dirty.
                        I'd urge anyone who fancys it to give it a go, very rewarding and you meet some great people doing it.
