London Motor Show


Just back from attending my first UK Motor Show in over 5 years, shows at the NEC were just too far away and no one really wanted to go to a show in Autumn.

First impressions were good enough for me to get out the digital camera and take some pictures and some of them were of cars. Star of the show was in many ways the venue itself, it was just so much better than the NEC even the food was good and a couple of beers helped make the show go so much more pleasantly.

Ok cars, I liked the 2 seater Mazda concept which they say may be a mini 350Z let's hope they build it, the Jaguar XKR was just perfect but beyond my means and the Aston Martin Rapide I think was the car to have and therefore the star of the show. Did I feel tempted to put my hand in my pocket and buy anything, well no as I know there are some excellent cars to come for instance the New Mini and the Fiat 500.

What else, well the new digital camera worked well an Olympus FE140 which I found very easy to use and the software that came with it is excellent see the picture of my old Triumph Stag which has been cartooned using the Olympus Master Software.

Also next time I will drive there as the change from the air-conditioned comfort of the car to the oven temperature of the underground and DLR was just to much to bear.

Oh and my friend came back from the show and immediately went searching for a new car, which turned out to be a Saab 95 Vector 2.0 t Estate, delivery sometime within the next 10 days.
