Wooha!
Realised just a few days ago that it was going to be a motorshow here in Stockholm, and of course I wasn't going to miss it! Although, my weekend was quite packed with other stuffed so I just had the chance to go this Saturday, and only for a couple of hours and it was the first day the show was open for the public so it was A LOT of people there!
But here's what the show had to offer!

You were greeted with Ferrari's and Maserati's playground.

Saab's concept car Aero X was also there, and I call tell you, it looked even better in the metal! Would love to sit into though... millions of ppl milling around this car.

Volvo had a wonderful scene, loads of cars and models and their flagship, the new S80 where the king of the day!

C70 - in action!

'The big manufactors, like BMW and Mercedes and others didn't come beacuse they thought the Swedish market is too small, which was a pity but still Porsche, Audi and Lamborghini were kind enough to show up :)

Cayman S and bunch of ppl... only one pic decent enough.

The new Porsche Turbo! And those wheels just makes the car stand out really good! And btw, the pictures only took me like 10 minutes, and this was the pictures with the least people in it. Imagine how many there were...

And the newly reviewed Murcielago - looks kinda weird with those air intakes and that silly exhaust.... no picture of though, as you can see, lots of ppl.

And I saw this interesting concept from mazda, didn't see any name and I was in a hurry, anyone knows the name of it?

Conclusion! Too bad that I didn't had my second memorycard with my but it's something wrong with it, gonna fix it this week. Nice show, lot of people which wasn't so fun... And where was BMW and Mercedes? Two of the worlds biggest manufactors of cars and there weren't coming? buuu!
Well, had a great time and I hope some of the pictures came out alright, had some problem with the lighting and you know. Well, hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Not bad at all for a "minor" motorshow! Basically the big hits of Geneva where there :good:

That's why it's kinda boring posting these pictures, because all the big releases never happend in Sweden and you all have seen the Aero X and Porsche Turbo from the saloon in Geneva.
But it's still great fun for me, looking, taking picture and the repsonse here when you post them!

No worries mate! Glad you liked them!
But I agree, the most interesting cars were there ;)

Thanks davide for the carshow-pics!

Too bad, the first pic has a cropped 430 :bah:, I guess there was no space to get the car into the picture :wink:
