Any info on what cars you have coming? Want to see whether it's worth coming for a nose about!

[Fun Bus]

May I be so bold as to suggest letting your members know of the event (unless they already do) I know I and others would love to see what the Graypaul meet generated.

Fair comment, however we have an event that day in Manchester, so no can do... We will be planning our own show later this year so you will get your chance to have a good nose about

[Fun Bus]

That would be good. My car doesn't qualify me to be a member so would be great to be involved if ever possible.

I should be coming for a Nose around.

We are pleased to announce that at the Luxury Motor Show 2011, visitors will be able to see live car detailing demonstrations and also witness a vehicle being vinyl wrapped!

For more information on the event, please visit www.luxurymotorshow.com

Also, we do have a few remaining display vehicle spaces. Should you be interested, please visit the website to apply.

[Fun Bus]

Really looking forward to this. I wish I had a car "worthy" of displaying!

[Reflectology]

I am attending this but on a personal note, may entertain as an exhibitor next time around or even get my guys at Permanon to show some interest.....

[SportingBearsMax]

Sporting Bears Dream Rides are going to offer in alphabetical order - Bentley Supersports, Jaguar XK Convertable, Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, Maserati GT Spyder, Subaru Impreza, TVR Cerbera, Ultima GTR - all you have to do is attend the Luxury Motor Show, choose the car, make the donation to help children and we do the rest, for 10miles in the car of your dreams. Ferrari Fans will have to wait I'm afraid as none have volunteered with a Ferrari but still, what a line up!

[v8lover]

I think the lack of Ferrari is made up by the fact that there will be a helicopter on the day, offering very affordable helicopter rides across Nottingham, with 100% proceeds going to charity! (bear in mind that a helicopter costs approx £7 per minute to run!)

[SportingBearsMax]

Just added a Lotus Exige from the reserve list - still room for a Ferrari!
