I also had the same experience as Smily and I wasn't comfortable. I had a couple of members call my rig "bald" because I didn't have my WBCCI #'s on my trailer(they look like S@*t after a year or so) and one member shook his head because I didn't have a flag. But I realized that some of these older, longer term members are set in their way because "this is how we do it". not very flexable. I did go to a vintage rally and had a ball. The people here were more concerned with meeting new people than making sure everyone on the same page of the reg's. Hopefully as the younger blood comes in to WBCCI, things will be a little less restricted.
My 2 cents
