I was a fun day at a great venue where anyone could quickly see that no exspense was spared in order to maintain a shiny public image. Most of the "main" car-manufacturer's had their latest and greatest on show. It was mostly the companies supplying cars to the mainstream car-market like Ford, Mazda, Toyota, Renault, Peugeot and Honda but there was also a few up market companies like Aston Martin, Bentley and Rolls Royce.
BMW had a separate display outside the main halls and took show completely. They displayed their fabulous M6 Convertible in a pleasantly air-conditioned outdoor area! You could also get some of that adrenaline boosting sounds in special little booths, simulating each model's engine noises.
Another interesting attraction was the "celebrity" cars like Austin Power's "Shaguar" and Lara Croft's Land Rover amongst others.
All lot of attention also went to the latest trend in the market, the environmentally conscience vehicles. From bio-fuel to hybrid power vehicles, even cars powered by electric motors build into each individual wheel.
Although there were lots of eye catching specimens of the female form, it was more of a father-son experience. Everywhere children could be found popping there heads out from under the hood and fathers clenching the steering wheels of the favorite rides while vroom-vrooooming through their teeth. I guess there's a little boy in all of us.
Here is some of my favourites pictures.
