Default Just been to the 'Motorshow Press Day'

Just come back from a day at the London Motorshow 'Press Day'

As i work for Honda, i was chosen to unveil the new Civic 3dr type s along with some other chosen associates.

Spent the first hour looking around the stands, then spent half an hour having loads of photos taken of us by the press, even had a good few taken of just myself with the car by some press guys

Then we had lunch provided and had the whole of the afternoon to go round the show with only the press there

Was a quality day out, loads of stunning motors, so im now going to upload all of my photos for you

Cool looking forward to seeing the type r

Damo- would you thinking coming down the M11 into london or going round the M25 then along the A12 would be better? Sorry me and my dad are coming down the M11 but are unsure which route to take

six of one half dozen of another really... M11 can get snarled up with traffic as can that section of the 25, personally prob do the M11, but try to avoid the A12 near Blackwall tunnel if during rush hour...
