What's happened to the forum?

I'm still here but sometimes I think I'm talking to myself !

I've posted lots in general chat about events here in the midlands but so far nobody apart from MrTowed, as far as I know, has attended any shows that I've been to. Some high profile places like Shelsley Walsh and Prescott Hill climbs are world renowned venues but no other kit cars or specials in sight !

Perhaps we are fast becoming an extinct breed of owner / builders in this hobby. The Stoneleigh kit car show at the end of the month might be a good indicator for the whole scene. The Classic Car movement appears to be gaining strength all the time on the other hand and some older "kits" are now accepted into the classic scene in their own right.

I have to admit I only visit here occasionally now my kit is built - but I do try and attend a few of those events you mentioned if the weathers good and they are local to me. (took my Fiorano to shelsley walsh a few weeks back)
