Autosport 2008

[m0rk]

Not according to the Autosport International website. It says, "All visitors to Autosport International on Friday / Saturday / Sunday will be able to access PistonHeads The Performance Car Show ABSOLUTELY FREE!"

I also have a ticket for Saturday and the 3.30pm show - might see you there.

Phill

That was an initial confusion.

PH was bought out by Haymarket Media last year, so it's just rebranding what was already there

 

[chungster]

yeah notice that now as i got a flyer thru the post confirming that couple of weeks back

Might well see you up there then Phil.

Big show there, Pistonsheds is a summation of the comericalisation of the site... looks a bit like a car park inside.

However, the rest of the show is excellent.

I went today (bought a Pistonheads ticket meaning we could get in on trade day) and it was a good show. Pistonheads had some nice cars on show, but it was like a big car park in that area like you say.

Were you talking with Scott Dennis as JP and DT went onto the (very small) main stage m0rk? If so, I spotted you.

 

[m0rk]

you spotted me then

Hob nobbing m0rk. I had to work so couldn't make it this year. Aiming to goto the media day in March instead.

It was horrible weather. Soaked to the skin from the bus stop to the car.

First time I've been on a so-called non public day, saw a few more well known faces around the place as a result.

 

[m0rk]

It certainly wasn't a nice walk to the car - and it wasn't that far.

Good to see you too Bill, IainW - you should have said "Hi" - I don't bite

 

[chungster]

ah looking forward to tomorrow...weather looks good so nice drive up north.

sounds as tho the PH element is rather pointless!

 

[IainW]

IainW - you should have said "Hi" - I don't bite

I wasn't 100% sure it was you, but now I know who to look for in future!

 

[F2 Stu]

Bah I was standing next him too and did'nt get spotted (throws teddy)

Quite a good show, trade/engineering bit allways good to mosy around, jenvey had a CF trumpet that was curved and would of been perfect for my airbox but it was a one off

[ibizacupra]

[EZ Tutty]

and F1 stock cars are fookin loud !!!!! i think my hearing is perminantly damaged.

 

[IainW]

My hearing was in danger of getting damaged on Friday from the noise of that Mercedes-Benz World thing in the karting hall.

I would link my photos, but flickr is "having a massage" right now....

The MB World cars were funny. Engine bonnet up every other lap but not surprising it may have been overheating considering it was going round in circles on full throttle pretty much!!! That AMG engine sounds sooo good tho.
