how long to get around?

Hi chaps
Going to the show tomorrow and our live action arena show is at half three.
Just wondered if we get there at ten will we have seen everything five times over/bored by half three?
cheers.

Oh,if you see a brg mx5 and dark blue mr2 roadster on the southbound m1 give us a wave!

Yeah I think so. We went for 12, show at 6, and had around an hour and a half rest doing nothing and still managed to see pretty much everything.

We did PH and most of Autosport from 1030 to 1530.

PH is definitely the best display of cars, Autosport was mostly like walking around a large branch of Halfords (not that there is anything wrong with that)

[Polarbert]

Its better than that. Halfords is filled with complete shite like crap pressure washers and neon kits and crap stereos. The autosport show is much better.

you talk to people that know what your on about like halfords they have no idea

[kenmorton]

S'pose it depends if you are in the market for any of the goodies on offer. If only going for a look at the cars you could get round in 4 hours easy, if you talk to every other stand 2 full days won't be enough.

Thanks for the replies,will have a steady stroll round

well the Autosport 'show' was origonally simply a trade show for those involved in motorsport - for those specialist companies to demonstraite why you should be going to them for your gearbox, or stack dash - hence why theres the trade days in previous years alot of the stands packed up on Saturday. Its only in the last few years that the public 'show' side has been promoted, with the introduction of the live action arena... when that first came in it was an optional extra on the ticket price. a couple of years ago the ticket price was doubled and the live show included... now Pistonheads has taken on the mantle for the more 'car show' side of things.

I am not knocking it and enjoyed the whole day.

If I still did Karting for example it would have been very useful.

The size of some of the AP brake calipers they had on display was worth it alone.
