I didn't get myself to the rally today as I'd intended, but why can't people understand that these events aren't simply for classic buses? They are for buses old and new, for enthusiasts young and old to have a look at, appreciate and ride on.

There shouldn't be such an "us and them" attitude in a hobby with so few people involved in the first place. Madness.

Yet they'd get blasted by the same people if they didn't turn up at all. 

I don't think that the people who make these comments understand that it will cost GNE money to send these vehicles to events, and just think that the bigger companies have money to throw at fuel etc for fun. It also doesn't seem like they appreciate the effort that goes into getting the vehicles looking the way they do for the rally.
