Default opinions of the motorshow ?

what you all think of it then ???


i personally never liked it THAT much but wa a nice day out

the BEST stand IMO has to be the lotus stand as the staff there are FUCKING SPOT ON and where soooo helpfull


they even made my missus a coffee when i was jumping in and out of all the cars,,,,,,,,,,, also gave me some intersting info about lotus history


THEY ALSO ADMITED THEY AONT GOT A CLUE HOW TO GET OUT OF THE FUCKING THINGS AND NOT LOOK LIKE A IDIOT

but they did show me how to get IN to the exige

Was there yesterday and gotta say i expected a bit more but overall was a great day. Best stand to look at was TVR for me, standing still they're just the most amazing cars shame when they move something breaks

Lotus stand was brilliant like you say, i did the same with the exige, feels like a cockpit in there though. A car you have to own or drive one day

Civic Type R looks shite IMO , 206 on steroids . Best feature of the day though was the Honda F1 car, how they had every part strung up from the ceiling like that was fuckin amazing, must of got about 20 pics of it

Bring on next year.

I enjoyed it, a good day out. Some lovely cars there. I though the Ford stand was really good, and the ice lolly was well timed, it got really hot in there!
Very impressed with the Honda F1 car!

I forgot to put in the other post what I thought of it...

I thought it was great... BMW Group in particular! Much more of an experience than just another boring stand

Oh and of course they had my new car on display (well not my one but GP0001 )
