Trust me. I used to be big in Camberfam, administrating the Forum and the Facebook group for nearly 2 years. I left for good reasons. Short story is, most of them are complete and utter dicks. I'm glad I got out before it got as bad as it is now. Pretty much most of the guys I liked in Camber have left it too because it got too bad. From what I hear, now internally it's just people pissing on each other and having a circle wank about new Camber shirts and stickers. When I left, 90% of the group was wankers with identical E36s jerking each other off about how unique and innovative their cars were and being proud of how many fucking likes they got. Attention whores every-fucking-where.
You should be happy that you're not part of that group.
My views on the scene pretty much match yours however. I was at a car show in Wuppertal a few months back with the E36 (you mightve seen it on Facebook, it's apparently a recurring thing called Bright Spots)... I felt absolutely disgusted by the behavior of people there and how they presented themselves and their cars - which is also why my friend and I left pretty early and drover over to Garage10 in Gelsenkirchen where the Garagentreffen was happening, a GTG for youngtimer owners... now that, that was laidback and rad meet! And hell, we even got to put our cars in, even though mine is just now slowly becoming a youngtimer and my mate's car is far from it (a Mk5 Golf) just because the organizer thought they were interesting and we had some chats with a people about them, not like that other show, where people would just rush past, take a photo and sneer at you instead of asking questions about your cars or telling you what they liked or anything.
The modified scene in Germany is complete and utter shit. I've got my circle of car friends and we pretty much all just drive to foreign shows in the Netherlands, Belgium, hell even France and Britain. The scenes there are far from perfect as well but they are about 1000 times better than the local scene in Germany.
I just **** people who do it for all the fucking attention and bring the bullshit drama and anything. In fact, it's even gone so far as to kill my ambition to actually do anything for my blog, which I used to be pretty passionate about. Nowadays I just figure, why the hell should I bother, the German scene is shit anyways.
Damn it, look at me, all ranting and stuff... you got me started.
