Some nice photos

I was hoping on going this year, but kind of forgot..
Was it fairly sensible, or is it like the NEC motorshow where you can't move for the thousands of people all trying to see the same car at the same time?

Excellent! I gotta check them all out man!
I like that Viper!

OK I owe up. I didn't take the photos, I was planning to go this Saturday but decided stay home and to save up for a trackday at Bedford next month.
I went last years show, it's less busy than a Motorshow. More sports and race cars on display.

Huh...a RHD SRT-10 Ram...I'd never see one anywhere else (unless I searched for one). That old Alfa is pretty neat, as is the Viper GTSR.

Is that your Civic in the "Parent Directory"?

Been a long time since I saw an Ascari.

And GTSR Concept with a Competition Coupe Spoiler, nice.

Love the Spoon Accord, that car is awesome. I remember reading about it somewhere when it ran, and won its class overall, at the 25hr race at Thunderhill. Nothing crazy, but its just a very well set-up car. Much like the Realtime TSX that race in the SCCA World Challenge, they are very good cars.

Heres a video of the Spoon Accord doing a lap in the muck at the 25hr Thunderhill......VIDEO

Also, I thought it was interesting, and something I never noticed before. In the pic of the old Group B Quattro, next to the driver and co-drivers names. Is that blood type listed??? It would seem that way to me with "O+" and "A+" listed, but maybe something else. I guess, its a nice precaution, better safe than sorry. I just never noticed that on a race car before. Kinda cool.

That actually is a real Comp Coupe. I've been lucky enough to see a few up close, and that is one. Up north of Omaha here, in a little town called Blair Nebraska, is the biggest Viper dealer in the world. Woodhouse Viper, part of a big dealer group up there. The owner, Bob Woodhouse, is a big Viper racer. He races one in the SCCA World Challenge. If you want a Viper, or have one and want to go racing, he's the one to talk to. The garage where they keep them is called the "Snake Pit" and is a sight to see. Here is the link, and a pic from their site.......

No, thats not my gallery. I have a black Civic Type-R.
It cost £18 for the tickets plus another couple of bucks to watch the live action arena. Last year I saw Tiff Needel (5th Gear)
