Many of the best cars are now lost in the public car park, and you can no longer wander around it in the same way. It’s a shame to see so many pre-2000 cars not making it into the main site, still an amazing day out but maybe monetisation has taken over?
I think I want an early 2000s Bentley 🥴

Used to go all the time for years. Stopped last year. Not really a car ‘meet’ anymore. Not leaving my car out for kids to climb over. My kids wouldn’t dream of doing that but not enough parents take the same view.

The feeling has gone, you have to be wearing a checked shirt and Barbour gilet driving a gt3 or Audi.

I agree, the best part of the scramble was the hidden gems parked on the edges of the main site. So much less to see without them.

Worryingly they are quoting ‘Martyns Law’ as one the reasons@for the change, but now you can enter the car parking FOC and just wander around there if you want - cant see how this avoids some of the potential terrorism threats this law is to prevent? Just moves the threat to the car parking. Also people were just wandering in and out later in the day as the ticket check area was non existent.

They've increased the ticket price for next year and also dropped the age in which you have to pay for an adult ticket to 15. Nice.

It’s been going down hill for the last few years. Getting far too corporate and more like a family day out rather than a car event. Been going since 2015 and it used to be one of the very best events. Tickets on the gate (£5 in the early days I think) was so much better than all this sold out months in advance bollocks.

Very dissappinted today. Felt very empty and lacked the quality of a usual Scramble. Today felt a little like the beginning of the end.

Agree with your thoughts - The best way to describe it would be that now you go to the event, rather than be part of it.

It was criminal to not be allowed re entry what a dumb system. Totally agree the car park had probably a better selection and always a fun walk around 😂
