Rumour going around is if you like your Territory than there will be a very nice surprise there.

Walked through the Exhibition Centre last night from the carpark, and you could see through the partitions where they were setting up. Some very nice cars in there indeed.

According to a shopping docket I got (which has a coupon for $5 off adult ticket prices), a normal adult ticket costs $17. So, I should be able to get in for $12. Far cheaper than a day at the races!

Most companies will have their better models on display, Ford and FPV will have their usual stock as well as any upcoming models.......Turbo Territory.

I saw an add for the motor show with a paganni zonda so im keen to see one of those in the flesh, and maybe a better look at the mucielargo roadster.

I reckon i could spend all day there.

Everyone is relying on a Turbo Territory. It would be very funny if its not there...

You mean the S4 on display at the SMS last year? Not the RS4 unfortunately, was just an "ordinary" blue S4 :Reverend:

The MMS will be the first time the RS4 has been in this country, and I have already been given a vision that I must have one :ticking:

Well back in the June '05 Wheels where they had their first drive in Europe, they estimated ~$150k. I think this could be close, but it may be anywhere between that and $180k.

Hmm... if I sold my house and payed off the rest of the mortgage... : :

Well, according to the FPV website, there are runout deals on the current fpv range. Could fpv be gearing up for some updates?
