Autosport - I had a good day
Went to the Autosport show at Birmingham NEC today.
What a great day if you've never been before.
Some classic cars, some new cars and definitely some very expensive cars! A must for the weekend if you're bored.
A good number of Subaru enthusiasts wearing their T-shirts

I really enjoyed it too.
I did have to laugh when I saw the girls inside trying to sell the Autosport mag when there was a pile of them a few metres away with a sign saying to take a free copy.

My mate was performing in the live action arena so it was a good excuse for a weekend away. Spent nearly my annual salary in the bar at the metropole though- £22.50 for a double jack & coke and a double jamies and lemonade

I went yesterday and enjoyed it. However, it wasn't a patch on last year. There weren't nearly as many cars there. Some other things caught the eye though!

A few of the pictures I took are here http://uk.msnusers.com/Autosportshowgirlies
The boy in the second image, and the reason that they are all laughing is we told the the girls he was retarded, and when he felt their backsides, they pulled me up!!! To be fair, at that point he was sort of retarded, he had already drunk 4 pints and a bottle of Buckfast wine and that was only 11:30!
Top show

Noble - yes please (got to keep the missus sweet)
WOW someone took a picture of the Skyline! That was probably the least photographed car of the show. It's a bit SIAL now.
