Wortec are attending the Pistonheads show which is on the 11th, 12th and 13th at the NEC, we are on stand number 12417 near the Pistonheads bar. For more info on the show the web site is Pistonheads show website
there looks to be a great line up of cars from the Pistonheads forum plus you can get into the Autosport show with the same ticket.

We have a VXR8 on the stand plus there is a Vauxhall VXR8 going round the indoor arena. Here is a picture of what to look out for in the arena.


Over the next few days I will try and post up some more pictures from the show for you all to look at.

Here are a couple of pic's from the first day. The hall's are so full now that we cannot see the other stands around us for people.




































Thanks to all the guys at Pistonheads for all their hard work.

The Oakley Design guys had some very cool carbon stuff on the Porsche - carbon roll cage (11kgs vs 60kgs) and carbon fibre wheels....

Just thought I would say great to meet Paul, Brian (Greens), Tiler and the gents from Monkfish again today. Even was allowed to sit in the Carbon Edition VXR8, most honoured.

Really very good show and just so much stuff, some horribly expensive cars there (£330K one of them) yet some really nice metal. Especially loved the car auction shand with Ferrari Testerossa and plenty of classic yank tanks (gotta love the dodge chargers of old).

Had a great time
Steven

p.s. Whom owns the VXR500 ?? Nice example.

I quite enjoyed the show - it was... different. I'm a HUGE Porsche man (twice 993 owner) and I really fancy a 997 next and so I got quite a buzz from most of the metal on display!

I missed Wortec twice and when I found it it was very busy!

The silver one is Vauxhalls own car out the Heritage center, as was the LC and the red VXR8 I think is the press car.
