Re: London motorshow

Missed it.
Shame too as I still love noseing around sparkly new cars big and small.
The fact it is alot of what you can see at your local dealer is perfect because I get little time to visit dealers and hate being hassled if I do. Somewhere to look at everything without a salesman trying to pin you in the shop or the guilt trip of driving out the carpark only to pull in at the rival next door is something I quite relish.

I really love the idea of the dock setting as well only, well I wish it was somewhere that wasn't an absolute pain the preverbials to get to by CAR. My parents wanted to go but couldn't get into the carpark as the exhibitors got there first. Not an issue until I told them they couldn't see the BMW's, Audi's and Merc's all in the same place.

Yes BMW Goodwood is important BUT not everyone will pay £45 a ticket just to get into your stand! grr


Anyway I understand the Alfa stand looked brilliant with all the cars in matching metallic red!
Any pix anyone?
