Guys, save your £10 it isn't worth it, only the Lambo and the 360 on Jon's stand were worth seeing.

Oh there was a Buell lightening that quite caught my interest.
But I didn't see a single thing that I would classify as a gadget.

A few people complained but I thought it went really well. If you post what you exactly you werent happy with, what you were expecting and would like to see I will forward it to the organisers so they can improve it for next year. Cheers and Im sorry you didnt like it Photos here http://www.jon44w.com/site/viewthread.php?tid=1055

( There is another Big Boys Show at the Odyssey next month run by different people strangely )

It was ok, but I had expected more. One hall isnt very much, although I do appreciate it needs people, and sellers to fill teh halls with products.
Lambo.....kit car you mean.

The stunt show was good, although we see plenty of diffing here anyway. Thankfully it wasnt in a twin cam though this time.
Helicopter was good to see, and the Buell is def a cool bike.
But whats with the hot tubs and pool tables. How many did they need to have on display??
The audio/video entertainment stands were also very sparse.

Generally, it was just lacking in content. Apart from the stunt show which lasted a short while, I think I had a look round everything in about a hour. That is just too quick.

Obviously if there were more vendors of interesting products in Northern Ireland, then it might be easier to put on such a show. But it is a small country, with limited resources, did anyone actually expect it to be a fantastic show???

Went on sunday and thought it was CRAP, live arena was not bad but once you have seen one you have seen them all. Glad too see JORDAN[minger]getting a bit of abuse. The show said "Big boys toyz + gadgets" but i saw a few big boys toyz but no gadgets!:{

Exclamation

The Lambo was a kit car yes, well spotted. Not many people got it Stevie.


This Lamborghini 'Countach replica' (note the placing of the quotation marks) is registered as a 1967 Lamborghini ;

400+bhp 5.8 litre 351 cubic inch V8 (Ford GT40 spec, fully documented component and engine build-up sheet ) ;
Registered 1967 Historic Vehicle, Tax Exempt, as 'Lamborghini' ;
MOT'd ;
Absolutely Mint Condition (just back from being stored up for Winter) ;
Engine fully stainless steel & aluminium panelled & detailed in alloy as 'Lamborghini' ;
Tony Law custom built free flow header exhaust system (£2K) with truly thunderous sound ;
New Black Hide interior & seats ;
Authentic Dash Instrumentation, Black hide, Blue Alcantara Suede ;
Machined Billet pedals ;
12 Disc CD player (though the induction & exhaust note is the only music you need!) ;
All front and rear hatches & doors operated by electrical solenoid remote control ;
Electric Windows (Black Tint) ;
Rear view Camera and TV screen ;
Stunning in Artic White ;
Just completed 4 year rebuild last summer by superb engineer.One of best in the UK ;
Has convinced real Lambo owners in its authenticity (compares more than favourably with Patterson Performance Cars' {ex Fraser Builders} real one for which they are looking £50K.) ;
Sale to include unused, unfitted, spare set of 4 new tyres (rears are huge Pirelli P7000 345x35x15)
It could be imported into Eire as a classic, exempt from import duties, and road fund tax ;
It can be viewed in Belfast.
If you would like to think of yourself as a potential buyer of this awesome thundering supercar, but numbers like £20K sterling give you a fright then please don't bother to ring me.
(Also you'll need a garage with a 'w-i-d-e' door!)

Yep same people that were behind promoting the last 4play show and the same people that are also behind the rally stage thing at the end of the year.

cant see many people going to a show of the same type a couple of weeks after the one thats just been.
