Couldn't find a thread on this yet so thought I'd start one. Full gallery here: http://rallyrider.zenfolio.com/p483637825















I have not altered any of the images yet although I know a few are in need of a little photoshopping to clean them up.

Call my a moaner...but its exactly why i didnt go this year , it doesnt prove my point with your photos but in 2006 there was alot of adults and zero children, 2007 st loads of little gobstes getting in the way of every photo running round screaming touching and hitting cars. Was it the same again this year by any chance?

To be honest the children that we saw were pretty well behaved and I didn't have a gripe about them, and that is after spending the last 4 days on our stand.

This year though was busier. They had sold far more tickets (I'm led to believe), and it certainly felt busier on all the days so there probably were more kids around.

One thing we noticed last year was that during the live show, the exhibition hall would be empty. This year it was very different. The hall stayed relatively busy during the earlier shows and it was only the latter shows did crowds start to thin out.

WOW!

I'm going to Birmingham next Friday, and if half of those cars are there, I'll be a happy bunny - especially the Zonda!

Stunning pictures - did you see the TopGear show?

Not my best attempts ever but not too bad. I was amazed at how much busier it was this year.

I was up at the show last year & this spend 3 out of the 4 days on the Churchill Supercars stand (Orange Murcileigo Roadster). Definate alot more people this year than last year. In terms of supercars on display this year, I saw every super car you can think of except, the Enzo, Carrera GT & Maclearn F1!

The Topgear Live show, was better than last years, I found the openning night show to me more the usual jokes of TG, Clarkson was raw a always, giving a fer Merchant bankers in the VIP box a taste of his tounge "You lost my F**king money! Get out! LOL". Also went to a day showing of TG Live and it was a very tamed affair with the jokes, obviously to cater for the younger audience!

All in all, only critizm was that, that during the Topgear Live show, when they had the supercars crawling around at 5 mph while they joked about them! They should have given each a rev, and the audience could have had a listen to it an possibly voted on which they thought was the best sounding!

All in all definately worth going to, I'll be at the NEC MPH show, so come and say hi, you can have a seat in the cars, we'll have Orange LP640 Roadster, Gunmetal Grey (Casio Royal) DBS & Light Blue Vantage Roadster on our stand. Churchill Supercars.

Rallyrider, you have some very nice pics there, but the watermarking has really spoilt them for me.

Why not watermark in a slightly less in your face manner ?

Probably because if it was less in your face it wouldn't stop people from using them.

Thanks guys and, yes Mitch, you are right there. I do this as a hobby and I will normally let people have the odd photo free but it would be nice to break even on this. You will notice some of my earlier galleries aren't as heavilly watermarked and with a simple edit anyone could claim they had taken the photo. frown
