Hi, I'm sorry I was not able to go to FOS this year, so I'm glad I can see some pictures on the Pistonheads website. Did anyone perhaps get a picture of a Spyker in the supercar paddock or on the hill? I'm just curious to find out if they did show the new C8 Aileron.

Regards, Hugo from Holland.

Hugo,

No new car from Spyker I'm afraid.

They did show this rather nice Spyker C8 Spyder in White with a Red hood.

Best part of the event. The Red Arrows.
My favourite road car. Ascari KZ1R. Yes please!
Best quote of the day. While I was photographing the two pretty girls on the James Bond Lotus Esprit exhibit, a guy behind me shouted out "now we have got you both together, can you just start to kiss & touch each other sexily for the camera?"
