Default Brussels Motorshow

These are my pictures of the Brussels Motorshow. They are quite old, I took them in January. I probably didn’t post them then, cause I went to the motorshow in between to exams. So I didn’t really had much time to upload the pics.

Nevertheless I had a great time. And before I went I had two missions in mind:
  • Getting into every stand (a lot of stands of the expensive cars are closed to normal public)
  • Plant my ass into as many cars as possible
I sadly didn’t succeed in my missions. I wasn’t allowed into the Porsche stand. Probably cause a lot of potential buyers were there that day (the Brussels Motorshow is more a buyers auto show, than a concept auto show). And I also didn’t go into the Rolls Royce stand. It was merely as big as the car itself so that didn’t really matter

I also didn’t got a change to sit in every car, but I have planted my ass into a Maybach 62 and a Conti GT. Especially the Conti GT was nice. I ask a guy from Bentley if I could sit in it. He replied: “No problem, Sir” (Sir? Oh James you’re flattering me. You may call me Wut, like my friends do ) Then, he grabbed a stylish napkin with a Bentley logo out of his pocket and opened the door with it for me. Nice

There were also some other downsides I encountered that day. For some reason there were no shows that day with hot butt-shaking girls
I also forgot my 256 MB card at home. I realised it when I already took some hundred pics. I had to delete quite a lot, otherwise I couldn’t take pics of the really exclusive cars. So you have to excuse me for the fact I didn’t take pics of all the manufacturers.

Sometimes the quality of the pics isn’t good or they are quite blurry. The problem with those shows is the bad lighting with all those spots. I don’t have a polarizing filter for my camera so all that light reflects on the cars, which is quite annoying.

Nevertheless, here are the pics. They are sort of alphabetically ordered:

Alfa Romeo:






Audi:






Bentley:








BMW & Alpina:






Brabus & Carlsson:







Chrysler & Dodge:






Citroën:




Ferrari:








Ford:




Gillet:




Jaguar:








Hommel (Michel) Vaillante:




Honda:




Lamborghini:








Lancia:




Land Rover:




Lotus:






Maserati:








Mazda:




Maybach:









Mercedes:













Mitsubishi:




MG:




Nissan:





Opel:






Peugeot:






Porsche:






Renault:








Rolls Royce:






Saab:




Skoda:




Smart:




[b]Subaru:






Toyota & Lexus:

I've got a similar mission to yours for the NAIAS this year. Hopefully they'll let me into the Aston stand again this year hehe. Nice pics Wutputt, thanks a bundle!

Idd, you just have to try. If you don't try you can't have results. I thought it was impossible that I could sit in a Maybach, Bentley or Maserati. But I tried and apparently it was possible. That just made my day
