Exclamation Motorshow Live Action Arena

What did everyone else think?

I thought it was pants. A few cars doing handbrake turns and some dancers.

Apart from the S2000 doing donuts

The best bit though was the Saab blowing up it was pushed off with oil pouring out of either the engine or the gearbox.

i was there as well, and it was rubbish. To pay £6 to sit there and listen to a load of waffle with not much action was painful, plus to pay that money and have to endure that amount of advertising was equal agony. Shame really as the kids with the skateboards/bikes were good, as you say the S2000 was good. If they could reduce it down to 20 minutes of advert free stunt driving it would be fine... As you probably saw before the end a lot of people had got up and were on the way out.

I was at the same show..............but I got the ticket for free so wasn't too depressed by the wooden performances and general pants format!!!

The SAAB popping it's gearbox was hilarious.................what a good advert!!

The S2000 donut was quite spectacular, but the highlight was the Race prepared E-Type Jag...................what a wonderful noise, it was like tamed thunder!!

.....oh and the XJ220, still looking good after all these years!!

Apart from that, the show was PANTS!!

The Mini show was far better........and free!!
