Default British Motorshow and Autosport International

I uploaded these ages ago and posted them using imagestation n so not many people saw them but i've only just recently uploaded them all to imageshack so i thought i'd post them again for every one who didnt see them. Sorry for the quality of some of them, it was very crowded at both and the strong lighting and reflections dont really help. I have all in high res if anyone wants any


Autosport International 04:




















































British Motorshow 04:

I haven't seen them either, so thanks for posting.
I wish the Perth Motor Show was something like this, it was an absolute joke this year....a Gallardo, Murcielago, 360 and a Maserati Trofeo was about it. a waste of money really.
The Sydeny motor show this year will be good, the Maserati MC12 will be there along with a Carrera GT....and many more, hope I can raise the money in time to go over (in about 4 weeks), but I doubt it.

Thanks for the pics that you took from this event.,...ive already heard of it and its my favourite racingcar exhibition and one of my favourite car exhibition as well(alongside Geneva, of course the best car exhibition ever, Paris, and Detroit).....anyway...very superb pics ...such as the WRC cars, the F40, F50, Enzo, the Jag XJ V8, the black 360 CS which looks awesome, the zonda which looks lovely.......and the Noble M14 also which is IMO the best noble looking ever

yup the ferraris and zondas were at the autosport international show at the NEC (not the british motorshow). The ferraris were in their own walled section which you couldnt see from the outside and (if you came later than 11) you had to queue for about 45 min to get in. But i got there at 9 so walked straight in. It was covered in ferrari emblems so i dont know how u missed it?

As for the TVR's, i would've got more pics but that was the only decent one i was able to get as the TVR stand was probably the busiest there and very hard to get any pics without people in front of it... sorry, looks absolutely stunnung in the flesh tho

dingo when u going 2 sydney - wana drive over!
Thats a long drive, it will nearly end up costing as much as a flight. I saw in the newspaper they have a package to Sydney (plus two nights accomodation in Kings Cross :x ) for $533. Then you have to add in the costs of living for 2 days obviously and entry to the show.
I'm not sure if all that money is worth it for a motor show.
