For me, without doubt, you can keep your Enzos and Koenigseggs, the car that i was most pleased to see was the Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v.

I grew up in the back of one of those (and an earlier 8v, we didnt have enough money for a house), and I haven't seen a decent one pretty much since the day dad's went out in a blaze of glory (literally) courtesy of some joyriders. Ah, the memories!

Heading back to Brum this afternoon, will be good to meet you all.

We think they may be opposite the TVRs (but the Sonett's used to sharing a stable with one anyway smile )

Spotted at last. Yeah it's mine. Cheers for the comments. It's going to have the bonnet open for a few hours each day if anyone is interested.

I enjoyed seeing most of the cars, but the two that kinda stood out for me was the RS200 and the Evo Estate at the end of the row of Evo's. The supercars looked good too, and the Coy's auction cars were pretty nice and all.

for me it was the blue Noble 2.5l - exactly the same as mine (but mine's yellow).

brought a tear to my eye. Whoever's it was, nice one!

Oh, the Mosler behind it was pretty damn spectacular though! Maybe when I win the lottery...

Enzo for me and seeing such an mix of cars all together left me of the opinion that I like italian and TVR cars for their engineering, stlye and design and don't like Aston Martins, Jags or American cars. The exotics, spyker etc were fascinating and the Astra GTE brought back memories for me too! The first car to excite me with its acceleration...
