To be honest the show was a bit disappointing. It seemed really tiny. A lot of the big names were not even there (vw, audi, bmw, volvo...). I spent around 4 hours there then hit the road again.

Highlights were:

Alfa Stand was nice (new 8c and mito)
Chevy Camaro was stunning
Honda has a massive and impressive stand
Supercar eclosure (spykers, couple of ferraris, zonda, etc..)
Nissan GTR
Concepts from (Saab, citroen, lexus, kia, suzuki, hummer etc...)
Corvette ZR1 (impressive but once you've seen a 'vette you've seen 'em all)
Lotus Evora
The electric Lightening supercar
Top Gear's police cars

Other than that nothing you don't see on the road everyday.

Great shots Nick thumbup

I really enjoyed it. Spent just under 6 hours and still didn't see it all (somehow missed the Mazda stand for a start furious ).

I agree about the camero. I expected to be underwhealmed by it, but thought it was gob smackingly good. Only got back at 1:30 this morning (why is london traffic so crap?) i'll try to post some pics tomorrow after I've touched them up.

Some of the suprises were from brands that you wouldn't expect, like the Kia Exceed - bloody lovely.

If you don't work in the city and haven;t been for a few years, there is loads to see for the first time. Not many Zondas in Milford Haven biggrin

i agree with Triumph Coupe, wasn't overly impressed, i live 2 next to Excel, so just strolled over on Monday at 5pm(its only £5 after 5), and did the whole show in about 2 hours i reckon, although i think there's more to see in the day.

The best bit was outside, they had a load of Supercars, old and new on display and they did a "parade" lap of this tiny track they'd set up, didnt stop the Porsche RS, and F40 from getting it sideways, awesome!

don't worry, you DO NOT have to be on facebook to see them.

Oh yeah, how nice was that Lexus LFA - OMG!!! dream car anyone?!
