British Motor Show 2006
Hey peeps!
I have heard that there are going to be 6 global premieres at this years British (London) Motor Show at excel. One of which is the New Vauxhall Corsa.
I have heard a few rumours that the new BMW M3 3/5 door is also going to be launched aswell as the Range Rover Stormer.
Just wondered if any of you know of anything different or know exactly what the other 5 are that are being launched.
Adios

[QUOTE=carbrochuretom]...aswell as the Range Rover Stormer.[/QUOTE]
Isn't that the Sport?
I know the concept was a coupe though, are they still making a coupe? There is nothing more stupid than a 2-door SUV.

I wouldn't say that. The original Chevrolet Blazer, the Ford Bronco, the Dodge Ramcharger (and its little known twin, the Plymouth Trail Duster), and several others were all 2-doors, and they did pretty well. Although, on the other hand, none of them are still around, so maybe you have a point :rolleyes:.
-
Ramcharger...lmao
I don't see the badness in a 2 door SUV. Shorter Wheel Base = Better off-roading capabilities.

[QUOTE=coolieman1220]when is it?[/QUOTE]
Its from 20th - 30th July
oh yeh also heard that the new Mini is being launched aswell
-
Its going to be in excel and im sorry to say but i fear it wont be what its being hyped up to be, duno last time they hyped every thing up and it didnt live up to expectations.
Hmmmm well if there are some more cool concepts might make it better than the last few years.
-
I would be there if I was in the country, somebody had better get me loadsa good shots (100 or so of the RS4 alone would be much appreciated;).

Im there 28th July! Got tickets just yesterday. The motoring theatre 'show' should be good. The remake of Romeo and Juliet but with cars lol:D
Well the new Mini launch is some inside info I got from the Mini Factory in Oxford, when I went with a small group from my school. Me and my friend saw the shape of a Mini under a cover, and asked one of the factory workers if it was the new Mini, he wouldnt say anything, he just smerked and smiled, and did a quick nod. He whispered that we'd see it in late july lol

Brilliant photos…what camera are you using?
-
It doesnt look half as good as the NEC motorshow. I'll never understand why they moved it to london. the stands look bland and boring. The NEC was about design and impression it was a realy interesting place to be. But that looks like the inside of a showroom.
-
Yep, exactly what you said. For a big International Motorshow it was pretty disappointing, and the stands were nothing special either. But there were still some very nice cars around that you could sit in, etc. Btw have you get a new camera yet?
Merrill, I was using a 20D with 18-55.

I'm waiting for the pentax K100D to be released. Supposedly its today but the shops still say pre-order. Ive decided to upgrade my pc system first. Then snap one up. Theyll be cheaper by then too.

The NEC had that incredible 50s diner too. Finding accomodation in London is horrible too .. it's either expensive or smells of urine. Birmingham is no paradise but atleast they have a half-decent travel lodge. Bring back the NEC :(
Shame you didn't get any interior pics for the Sagaris. The one at the motorshow is the updated version with non-side exit exausts and a modified interior which is now going to be sold in America.
-
Was those taken during a press day? looks so empty...
-
The Mac, Saab, T1, and the TVR are frackin amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
That BMW M6 could pass as a press photo.
You've got skills.
Love the Trev, what is it?
-
-
one huge thing missing from this show that was so important at the NEC
...
...
WOMEN!

-
decent pictures considering the lighting conditions

I seriously thought that was a press picture! :eek: Awesome!
-
yeah those are great pics... nice job
-
I just came back from the show, unless I was blind I could not see the 101EX anywhere!! I have over 300 photos, they arent best quality but I will post them at some point (well some of them)
-
Great pictures man.
I want the motorshow back at the NEC aswell, easier to travel to, not only for me, but for most other people because of its central position in the country. London is just too far for me to travel at 15.

[URL="http://www.megabus.com"]www.megabus.com[/URL] prices started from £1:D :D
Oh and I just checked, from Birmingham to London with Megabus, its £10. Im sure a 15 year old can stretch to see some of the cars that are at the motorshow!
