Autosport International
« on: January 14, 2013, 12:50:25 pm »
Every year I say I won't go next year and then it comes to the week of the event and I cave in.

But why???

What a pile of poop for the umpteenth year running.

Any other attendees care to air their thoughts/experiences?

Forgot to take into account the glorious sight of the 3 Martini-sponsored LC2s on the Group C stand. Other than that though.....

Yep.  Very disappointed at the lack of sports cars.

I even missed the AMR Vantage that you managed to find.

Were it not for the fact that I got a BOGOF deal on admin tickets [courtesy of this site] and a good deal on rail tickets I'd have felt right Royally ripped off.

Makes Goodwood FoS seem like a good deal by comparison.

I decided to pass on this year's show. It seems I made the right choice!

Gave up going about 5 years ago, when the engineering/supplier stands on the trade/MSA licence days had withered away....

I went 5 years ago and decided it was a waste of money. I got a good deal on tickets last year, did the arena the lot and confirmed the show was crap  ::)

I wanted to go this year to buy a few bits but decided that Id save the fuel, ticket costs etc and buy the bits online  ;)
