Maybe Im not as fussed because my car is no AS material, but I honestly think what's done is done.
From all accounts, last year there were lots said "yes Im in" and pulled out.
This year, someone tried to organise those who seemed most keen last year, everyone gets the shits.
Solution: Suck it up, stop your complaints. Some people made a choice, they have realised they haven't pleased everyone, and perhaps it hasn't worked for the best. So for next year, make a thread early and try again to involve more.
Done and Done, no more bickering
