Yea - that and the grey Bently were the standout stockers.

The Green 30's van hotrod was my choice of the customs.

I had a look yesterday, first thing I noticed when I got there was how many bikes there were parked outside! Being such good weather, was great to see loads of bikes parked up. Anyways, went in and had a look around... Ducati 1198 would be MINE if I had a spare $32K...!

Unfortunately, only had my cheap little phone's camera so couldn't really get any good pics.

Thought it was a pretty good show, all aspects of motorsport catered to.

Sat on a few bikes, swung my wee legs on a few... really enjoyed it, shame Yamaha were not there though!

Next year can we have something exciting there......

Mabey Yamaha could bring the MT-OS, Victory could bring the Kore, Jaguar XFR, ........a single Lamborghini would be nice.

Or even let the boys at NZStreetfighers setup a stand.

My highlight of the 2 hours I was there was finding out I fit the Nissan GTR quite well, and to see an XJ220 in the flesh.

Or am I asking too much to request something new....... I mean Brammo just released their Empulse, how about that?

how can a auto show only have 2 ferraris and nothing else slightly exciting.

if i wanted to view kia's and ford fiestas, i would just go on the public road.
there were cool bikes etc. but i found it to be lacking....how do you put it.... cars worth showing.
only good things in my opinion were the muscle cars. rest... meh..
wouldnt spend that $17 again...

bring back top gear live

Speed Show?
Could almost do them for false advertising....
As there were bikes there, then I guess they have the SPEED part covered....

I came - I saw- I was bored.....

but I did enjoy the jet boat with the 1,500 horse power Bell Jetranger turbine motor up it arse......
I guess that if you were not strapped in properly- you would be minced.
