Anyone going to the British Motor Show in London? I am thinking about going tomorrow.

Am going after work on Monday. Should be good.

Noticed today that it is only £5 entry after 5pm so likewise might go after work next week

Have been there today.

Very good show, much better location than Birmingham in my opinion.

Rick, FWIW I spent 8 or so hours there today and managed to have a good poke around everything. It is only open until 9.30pm I think, so you might be pushed to see everything you want to in that timescale. There are some very interesting concept cars on lots of the stands. TVR have the Cerbera Speed 12 on their stand too.

Remember as well, no Ferrari, Porsche, Lamo, BMW. Although the McLaren F1 LM in the supercar paddock is well worth the trip on it's own.

All in all a 9/10 from me. And rumours that I have decided my next two car purchases are erm, true :)

Is that the hall where Topgear had the speedtest with the Toyota F1 car?

Yes that is! but there is more floor space in other halls.

i cant see how its a better location than the NEC for about 90%of the population.Docklands is an arse of a place to get to from anywhere other than the south east.Oh yeah I forgot its only the S.E.of the country that matters...for anything!

The only logical reason I can think of is that it's further away from Wales  ;D

The most populated part of the country. More population equals more potential customers equals more car sales equals more road tax paid for Gordon Brown to divert Oop Tut North to help improve the wastelands and stop the exodus South.
It all makes perfect sense to me.
