Title: RE:Big Disappointment for motorshow but dont worry, somthing better is on at NEC
Post by: AndyC on 24 July 2006, 11:54

ThereÂ’s a no-show from Audi, Skoda and Volkswagen; in fact, the only VW Group brand in London is SEAT, which is showing off the Leon Cupra. Nor will you find Fiat, Perodua, Proton, Subaru or Suzuki. Exotica firms Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Porsche have declined the chance to appear at ExCeL, too.

I hate this when car manufactures cant be bothered to turn up.

what a major disappointment!!  Whats the point of a motorshow if you can't attract the big names?

Oh and London is a stupid place to hold it anyway!  :tongue:

I had a good time at the motorshow even without the likes of VW, Audi and Porshe there were still some great cars on show eg, Ferrari 430, F40, F50 & Enzo, a Weissman, Mosler, stacks of BMW M cars (if you like that kind of thing) 0001 numbered Mini GP (it looks so much better in the metal than in the mags), and my favourite a mint Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing.  :laugh:

If you didnt go to the motorshow cause non of the proper manufactures went, then you can go and see them at this event.  They are holding the event at NEC, Better if you live in the Northwest.
