The London Motor Show 2008.

IMG_7192 (Large).JPGWe visited the Motor show at Excel in London Docklands on Thursday evening. Got in for free, which is always a nice touch. We were only there for 2 hours, but got to see all the cars in the two large halls. Obviously there was a lot more on the go outside, but it was very enjoyable none of the less.

It was interesting to see all the “Green ECO cars” this year, although none of them I would be seen dead in. (well may the new Lotus, although it was made of grass and chip board…not sure how safe that is). I think we are still a long way off from seeing normal looking cars running on Hydrogen or water or something other than petrol.

I think the Motor Show in 2006 was much better than this one with more cars on show. This show seemed to be very spaced out, although I did notice a lot more racing games on show at each of the stands. Still definitely worth a visit if you love motor cars and super cars.

2006 British Internation Motor ShowWe spent the good part of today (7 hours) walking around the Excel Centre which is hosting this years British International Motor Show. To say the show in incredible, amazing, spectacular, wow! is the understatement of the year. If you live in London and love everything on four wheels, then you must go and see it. Tickets cost between £6 and £15 depending on when you go. We went in a group so the prices were discounted.

Plenty of sports cars to see.   Where there are cars there are girls   There were loads of concept cars on display
