British motorshow - one step forward, two steps back?

[LMB]

I was looking at the Exhibitors for this year and noticed No Porsche, No Ferrari, No Lamborghini........they were all present at the last 'Motor Show'

I would have thought now it's back in the 'capital' they'd have made the effort. The British public should boycott those manufacturers that can't be arsed turning up.

Nor I. You can add Zonda to that list.

Seriously though these are the sorts of cars that people want to see at Motor Shows. And it ****es me off that they can't be bothered to turn up.

BMW haven't bothered with the last few, perhaps we should boycott their product too...

Mo is it really that they cant be bothered ?, or that the British motorshow is not a big enough draw anymore ?...

One of the reasons they went back to London was to attract people like BMW back again....... Looks like thats backfired on them

I just cannot understand why they left Birmingham it was miles better and far easier (And cheaper) to get to for the majority of people.
