Autosport Show 2016
Discussion
Sorry but there are a bunch of us that love this Show, You get to see Motorsport Drivers, Women in Lycra, lots of TOP cars. There is a Coys Auction area, trade stands showing the latest motorsport products.
We treat it as a social each year, its a place to meet up in the warm and chat about what you plan to do in the coming season. 1st Tickets are normally there, there are competitions to enter to win stuff.
If you like Live action, there is another hall you can go through to to watch some demos and stunts from some great drivers. There is also a large indoor Go Kart track people can play on (additional cost).
Yes Car parking is expensive at the NEC but if a few of you go in one car and split the cost its not such a hard pill to swallow.
So stop moaning and enjoy it

Have to say this Website is not the place it once was
Just go to the front page, click on the Calender and then to Pistonheads events and there is nothing for January!

Pistonheads used to have some great stands and a big line up of members cars in the past but sadly since the Haymarket take over, things have not changed for the Better
I don't like to knock things but its really not great. Even the classifieds are crap now compared to how they used to be. I tried searching yesterday for Motor sports car seats and all it came up with was Hazzard switches! WTF! The search engine is crap. Price of merchandise is through the roof and there is very little website feedback. I know staff have been cut and its clearly showing.
Its a shame that large corporations take over these websites then do little to move them forward.

I too like the trade days and love the new tech stuff, personally I think I have only ever been to the Live Action arena once and to be honest it did nothing for me whatsoever. I have not bothered with it for the last few years. I much prefer to look around the stands and talk to exhibitors.

Really? 2015 saw us hosting more events (Sunday Services, F1 wake ups, Track days, Le Mans etc) than ever before. In fact, look here to see for yourself: http://www.pistonheads.com/news/general-pistonhead...Just go to the front page, click on the Calender and then to Pistonheads events and there is nothing for January!

And as for Autosport, last year we went to great lengths and considerably more cost than ever before to have a top notch stand, which doubled up as a pub.... the previous years where there were just a load of cars stuffed in the corner of a hall were not popular with either visitors or owners and was (to my knowledge) a logistical nightmare.
Anyway, we're doing a lot at the show this year, which I will post about in a separate thread.

My comments are Related to people discussing the upcoming show, there has been nothing from your end about the Show so far! Even advertising the bloody dates online might be a good idea don't you think?
This has Nothing to do with Sunday Services.
Sincerely.....
