The fact that the scene has degenerated into something where some of the things done border on completely stupid and very, very dangerous, is pretty concerning. The bigger disappointment for me is the loss of respect. I think it's been mentioned but you go to a car show to look at the cars there. Not to interfere, let tyres down, steal things,undo things and make things dangerous. You go to look, and mostly respect the efforts of others, whether you like what's been done or not. If I were ever to catch someone f*cking with my car, it would be a beating dished out first. Not even sure if I'd bother with the questions later. You wouldn't be doing it again. Society as a whole is struggling with the loss of respect.
What concerns me as well is an undertone of revenge and allegiance. I'm not entirely sure what's happened in the past (I get the feeling from the odd post etc there was a fairly unacrimonious split in the club in the past) but it doesn't warrant some of the stuff going on. Again, it comes back to respect. Doesn't matter which side of the fence you are on, you don't f*ck with someone's else's car.
Pugfest and FCS are shows I'd like to do once my Rallye is finished. Antics like all of this make me think twice about ever wanting to go. If people cannot respect other people's feelings, wishes, property, then in all honesty, bloody well stay at home.
All in all, this whole debacle isn't a great advert for anything.
