Geneva Retrospective
PH reader Richard Carter looks back on his day amongst the supercars
Discussion
"Eyeball to eyeball across the narrow aisle from its archrivals were Ferrari. The Ferrari Enzo Ferrari being the main attraction here. I'd seen many photos this car and thought it handsome and purposeful. In reality I got the same impression, only more so, definitely an art form in itself."
If you had not mentioned your opinion on AM, the "honour of my (your) bottom" not withstanding, I would be very worried about you.

I take it your not an Enzo fan then. 
Nice article, but you missed out the best bits!
All the designer stands (pininfarina/bertone etc.) that let you on if you're a Brit and look like you know what you're doing And especially the Sbarro stand with the uniwheel thingy, not to mention Rinspeed!
And all the gizmos - the Ford virtual world and strange interactive projection, the Toyota(?) semicircular thrill ride and the best bit... the Jeep dot matrix waterfall - stunning seeing logos and words in falling water!
And I disagree about the long walk - the halls are all quite small (the whole thing is about a quarter of the size of the NEC show) and I reckon you can do it - including the most eyewateringly expensive lunch you can imagine - in under 7 hours... although that might just be years of experience.
I left happy and with the impression that in the future all cars will have 'suicide' doors as every single concept had them!

All good points but with the limited attention span of most PH'ers 
I thought I would concentrate on the cars and I had to miss out a lot of stuff there too.
The problem here was that I had to write the lot from memory, aided by the photos, as I only decided to do it after the event, and the old grey matter ain't what it used to be
