[QUOTE="sparkywig, post: 618729, member: 3541"] David, I tend to agree with most of what Clem is saying. After 36 years of air-cooled bus ownership the VW "scene" has become flat, boring and over saturated with shows, usually with poor /expensive food and a ska tribute band. You can't say that it's a general malaise, as most general vintage/classic car shows are still doing well. I think that the "scene" has partly contributed to this with the cliques and money involved, as it's mostly about profit now. The issue with air-cooled only shows is that most people who own air-cooled vehicles want to go and camp with a group of friends, the majority of which have later model VWs. To be honest, this year I couldn't be bothered and would rather go away for a weekend with friends in a field. Brighton Breeze was a case in point. £25 to camp and £12 in taxi fares against £75 to not feel welcome at the Racecourse. I'll probably come back and edit this at some point. [/QUOTE]
