Default PHOTOS British Motor Show UPDATE (56k Friendly) 3MB

Here are the photos of the British Motor Show where I went today with a friend.
I don’t think it was excellent as some manufactures weren’t present, such as BMW, Alfa. :cry:
Some of the stands were a very big disappointment, and the biggest of all was Ferrari. :cry: :x :cry:
They didn’t allow us in to take photos, the staff was rude and NO ENZO???? What the fuck.
Really bad IMO. :x
The SLR stand was one of the best as you could go next to the car photo photos etc except you couldn’t take a seat (obviously) but they provided a seat outside so u would miss on that. 8)
The best stand IMO was Porsche. U could seat in any car except obviously the Carrera GT but all the parts were on display individually. I was seating on the GT3 RS and after 10 secs the adrenaline was starting to come. The seat is awesome as is the steering wheel.

I hope u enjoy the photos.

I have created some thumbnails and to view a big photo just click on top.























































Notice all the names of the people that work for BAR in the inside of the rear wing.


























Take a closer look and you’ll see the word Helios. 8) 8)
Does that ring a bell???







































































Mercedes only have the SLR on display but they made sure its was the only car u need to see.
The staff was very friendly, but they told us we couldn’t seat on the car.
To my surprise the guy on his 50’s seats down and one of the staff starts talking to him and giving all the details. I was listing and found out he had ordered one :shock: . The guy was mega rich as he also had some other Supercars and had driven some F1 cars already. Damn I was jealous. :x





































































































The biggest disappointment of them all.
Ferrari didn’t bring the Enzo and you could only go in with VIP passes.
Sorry but a lot of people only go to the shows because of Supercars and this is how they treat the fans. :x











And the best stand of them all.
It took about 20 minutes to get in but once you’re in, you just get to different level.
I also found out that the leather use in the Porsche is use is taken from a “special cow” :shock: and Porsche has its own far just for this purpose.
They call it the Porsche cow and the Porsche farm. :shock:














































This is the LIVE part.
For £7.50 I think I was left a bit short change as it only lasted 50 minutes and the cars were not up to the job.



















Hope u enjoy the photos.
