Just had a wander round this and it is very good, well at least for a small show that is free and right where I work . Some really nice cars, even 2 TVR's from the TVR Center. One is an open top Tuscan, fully rag top, and the hood goes down at the back unlike the Griff, did I miss the launch of this or is it after market?? The sales men where busy so no time to ask them. It looks very very good.

Had a look around the show a few times this week. Have to say I really don't like what they've done with the Tuscan - why lose the wonderful cheesegrater grille? The rear lights don't work on the T350 so they sure as hell don't work on the Tuscan. Shame.

Booked to test the Crossfire 2morrow - they offered so it'd be rude to say no wouldn't it? Scaglietti is HUGE and unfortunately the styling grates in real life too. £75k for an MG???? I know its fast.... BUT £75k? Thats a tall order for sure....

I liked the two new Tivs in the flesh, even the Sagaris looks great, and I hated the original shots I saw (seems its toned down?). The race car smells horrible! Also a shock to see the state its in having seen it pre-race at scrutineering at lemans.

The crossfire is foul and a cruel joke. The Carrera GT is beyond bland. Apparently in the merc dealer they have an SLR at the moment - worth a look, but I haven't seen it yet.

The maybach is a joke, but worth a look.

Hummer is humungous (and plain wrong).

Scaglietti is better in the flesh.

Still a good motorshow, but as its expanding each year, they aren't really adding more performance cars, just more tat filler.

I popped in there today, and there was no Le Mans car. I'm assuming it was in the bit where the Renault F1 car and Range Stomer are?

If they are as they were after the race, one has a dirtier bum than the other.

Yeah. They seem to have taken it away, the rotters.
