Went last night......it was okay.
Im not so keen on the new convertiable MINI's.......the new color range sucks.
I didnt really even stop at the MINI stand......just a quick squiz when i walked past.
I have to say i was very impressed with the models this year........very hot.

Ps - My suggestion if its worth going this year.
Um for the cars NO way.
For the girls YES way.

wouldn't mind seeing the new 911 and boxster.. also want to see how different the 05 mini's look.. but yeah, every year i go and i am a little dissapointed..
we really need something like the detroit motor show.. dont think it will ever happen but

Your so right Benno, last year alfa had the stunners.
This year most stands had good lookers.......i remember last year i think alfa had a girl on every car they where showing.......this year i think alfa only had like 2 girls.
Okay well i guess you are all thinking ' why did i go to the show '......well like Benno said its sort of disapointing......so i just made my own fun. lol

Ps: Just a suggestion - have a few drinks before you go this year......you'll much feel better.

Yeah - I cant imagine that Ford and Holden could afford to produce the cars like their parent companies do... Australian companies have one or two "Show stoppers" per year, at Detroit each company has one or two per catagory - eg - suv, sports car, Minivan, etc.
I'd really like to go to SEMA if I was going to a show!! That would be awesome!! There is also a fair bi of interest in the Mini modding scene there too

Carrera GT
Pagani Zonda
Koenigsegg CC
Maserati MC12
Ford GT
The new 997
MINI convertibles
And thats not worth going for??
Noble
Ford GT
The all ozzie Joss
Also, 5 ferraris on the stand
I've been going to the motorshow for years, and I can never remember seeing so many true supercars in one place
The only bummer was no lambos I also liked the look of the mini convertible, but I would never buy one. I like the new blue colour. Not so sure about the orange convertible with blue roof
Cheers

thats such a shame! i love those cars! my fav is the baby gallardo (however you spell it)
keen to check out the Ford GT .. jay leno just bought one of them apprently..
Just got back.
First Motor Show I have ever been to. I loved it.
The MINIs were great, even had a pedal MINI for baby Smurfn, the cabriolets look good.
Turbo RX8 for Mrs Smurfn
The Ferraris, Porsche Carrera GT, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Ford GT, Joss, Pagani Zonda, Koenigsegg were great to see in person, probably the only chance I will get.
And most stands had good looking models, even for the Mitsubishi Colt
Also got the NXT wax and wash in the aftermarket section

Hey Smurfn,smurfn said:
Was that one of those convertible baby MINIs as seen on this thread? http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66939
If so, did they give you a price? They are fantastic!
Swamos and I both entered in a raffle today the the QLD BMW/MINI Show and Shine with the prize being one of those push F1 BMWs. I didn't get a phone call. Did you Swamos?

It was the pedal version of that, there is a motored version as well.AussieMini said:
The pedal version was $399, not too bad a price I thought. Couldn't hang around long enough to ask about the electric version, had to chase the young smurf. Pity about the colour though. But I do think that we will be getting one for Christmas though
guess ill have to see it in the flesh before i make my mind up.. it looks good in the picture thoughHecticB2 said:I have to agree with you there too. They look nice , but I still like the Monster Tacho look.
going to head out this fridayanyone know whats in the aftermarket section? same ol' stuff?

The aftermarket section was a waste of time.... Shannons take 3/4 of it all.. then there's pioneer stereo... Koensigg and some Audi modifier. overall the show was great and I enjoyed it. Some very funky looking cars.. nothing overly fancy but hey it was good.
yeah i think thats the case most of the time.. the aftermarket area isn't anything special.. i think it would be good to have more generic modifyers (not car co specific)... like stands with spings then wheels then stereos maybe exhaust (hi-tech?), rubber thats sort of thing..CanberraCooperS said:

Hi,CanberraCooperS said:
Sounds like you got a bit confused, and missed the "aftermarket alley"
The area with Shannons / Koenissegg etc was part of the main display
The aftermarket area was outside, where you buy the tickets. I went there to meet up with Boo and Allan Irwin who have an "OziCozi" stand
As I was chatting to them, I didn't pay too much attention to other stands, but I think there was a tyre stand, car cleaning products, etcCheers
