Motorshow 2008 (no 56k!)

[White16valver]

Well, after a lonnnnnng day yesterday, I finally got back at half 2 in the morning :dead: lol

Anyway, here are the pics - think I took about 210+ photos so it's just a selection! lol

Porsche 2.7 Carrera RS thing (Is this a good photo with the blur? I'm not sure :S )

This was £4m including VAT...

New astra

Brabus :evil:

Weird concept thing - I thought it was quite cool

Lovely :approve:

I will sell a kidney for one of these...

New hyundai coupe I think?

New Lotus Evora - I wasn't sure about it, some bits didn't look 'quite right' but was nice enough

Spyker C12

Weissman

F430

F40 (excuse the quality - low light was making it difficult to shoot handheld without going to ridiculous ISOs :S)

XJ220

I want one of these lol

Just no... lol

This was possibly the worst car of the show LoL

Helllloooooo.... :evil:

GTR

R26.R

Megane Concept

Nice

Focus RS

Speed 12!

Overall, quite a good day out if you can get tickets for a decent price.

We were there about 5-6 hours just strolling round and taking things in

Things to note:
Hang around the Ford stand as they give out free lollies from the hole in the wall at the back of the new Fiesta bit
They also have a squash bar in the middle that is free.
Peugeot give out free water and cups upstairs, above the 308 coupe concept thing.
The outside demonstrations, near where you come in and next to the massive old cranes, are quite good as you get to hear the cars and see them put their foot down a little bit

F40 is awesome Nice pics.

 

[Scutch]

F40 is f*cking lush. Some great pics mate! Nice work!

 

[Fred@BTM]

is Lee going? i hope so because your skills of taking pics of the birds are rubbish!

 

[White16valver]

I'm not a blatant perv like he is

If you do want to get pics of the birds though, the Alfa stand is head and shoulders above any of the other ones :evil:

If you took any of them home your Dad would shake your hand and say "Nice work, I'm proud of you son" LoL

 

[Englebert]

Nice pics... agreed with girlie pics, they are lame stalker photos...

What did the new Lotus look like in the flesh?

The Focus RS looks pretty mean there, will be interesting to see how it goes against the Megane.

 

[White16valver]

Lotus was ok - some bits didn't seem to gel or flow particularly well, but it's not rubbish lol

I'm not convinced on where the rear screen and side windows meet though!

 

[Darren S]

Some great pics there!

First one did it for me in an instant though. One of the "Please, please, PLEASE can I have a go?" cars of all time! :approve:

D.

I think the announcer bloke did say the engine had been changed for some 300bhp version - I wasn't paying too much attention to the words at the time though lol
