From my experience here and on the mainland the general public is the
same as joe public elsewhere. You have to remember that 99% of the
trouble in Northern Ireland was caused by less than 1% of the
population. There really are no problems along that line though there
are still areas you would not like to drive restored MVs into on the
grounds that some people are too stupid to recognise that a military
vehicle is so old there is no possibility that its used by the regular
army anymore.
The hobby is definately getting more popular here and the UMVC is
getting invited to more shows each year.
