Pistonheads show Pics

[autofocus]

Hi there,

As people have said the show was very quiet today. Everything seemed smaller and scaled down.

Still a good show if you are a car fan with plenty of nice metal on display.

Here is a selection of my pics (please remember this was the NEC and the lighting is PANTS !) : -

Road cars first

Farbio - there were a couple of these at the show, looks quite nice



Koenigsegg



Nissan R35 GTR - with a bit of tuner input



Dodge Challenger



Focus RS - one of three at the show



Very nice Diablo VT Roadster for sale in the Coys auction



Nasty modified Murcielago - got talking to the bloke on the stand, he asked me if I liked it and I quite bluntly replied 'No'. He went on to tell me it had undergone a £150,000 transformation, I asked him why anyone would do that.



Possibly the worst looking exhaust ever



Probably my favourite road car of the show the Aspid



Now for some of the Racing cars

Thorneys CSL Cup car



2008 Renault F1 with more of the grid in the background.



Ex Colin McRae Subaru Impreza



'Red Five' - Mansells Williams



KTM X-Bow Race car - should see a few of these in British GT this year



New Renault Megane Trophy



Fiat Abarth 500



Ex Team Parabolica McLaren F1 - for sale if any of you fancy it



Lamborghini LP560 Racer - This new one make series debuts at Silverstone in May



Finally for a big GT fan like myself this was the star of the show - Aston Martin Vantage GT2





Hope you guys like the pics.

If you are going have a real good look around, there are some stunning cars at the show. (except that Murcielago)

Regards

Tim

Is there any chance someone could do me a massive favour? I've designed a stand for one of our clients, Speed Religion, and I'd like to get some decent shots of it. Was planning to head down with my DSLR on Saturday, but I don't think I can make it now.

Could someone grab some good shots for me? If you're a pro-photographer, I'd be willing to sort you a few ££/pints!

Stand 18260 in Hall 18.

We're up there every day so we'll see what we can get for you as well. We've got our DSLR with us so hopefully some will turn out ok!

Sweet. Thanks mate, just having a nosey at your flickr pics! Looking good!

As the madness of a organising and preparing the cars started to level, the opportunity to get the final touches neared. Its not always the best job, but someone had to go round and make sure we got a quick finish on the bodywork to ensure eye capturing stuff







I know, but just posting up threads of all the cars we detailed wouldn't have been any where as much fun, so I'm not going too :P

Do you think the girl on the right in the first pic from finerdetails is dirty enough to need cleaning products
