I'm definitely going but again it's probably no use to you as it'll be daytime during the week. Probably a Wednesday.

So I went to the Motor show on Saturday afternoon. Met up with MISTA FIESTA and Pieotr. We walked around for hrs getting in and out of cars doing :eclipsee_

Damo acted as the spare-tyre police. "Hmm, full-size spare tyre"....."Wow, full-size spare tyre"... but when we got up to Fiat Punto Sport.... --silent--... We also like to wish Ssang Yong owners good luck getting out their spare tyres.

Pie was star-strucked by the VW Passat Wagon. Oh how he LOVED the electric seats. Pie was also one of the very few people to beat the CPU at Mitsubishi's PS2 GT4 challenge... well done, mate.

As for me, I was quite impressed by the presence 300C SRT8 has. Such a mean car. It looks $200,000 but we can drive out of a Chrysler dealer with it for only $73,000. The new VE Commodores are alright, however with those amounts of publications.. it feels so oooold, really rusty and outdated.
Audi RS4... -droools- great look, great interior, awesome seats, amazing engine. I'd definitely have one in my garage if I win lotto.
Other cars that I was impressed with were the Ralliart Evo IX, XR5T's Electric Orange paint, Sonata SXi's exterior, Mazda3 MPS, Audi R10 - 24hr Le Mans TDi Car (great to see one in person cos I get to "drive" it on GT4 ), Ferrari F-430, Audi Q7, Fiat Punto's exterior.

Oh, the "Super Chamois" salesperson.... wow!. But unfortunately I didn't have cash on me. If I did, I'd probably buy one.

In overall, it was a good day for me. I havent been to motor shows since '97. So it's good to be able to go at this year's.



EDIT :- Oh wow, it's my 400th post. :hihi:
