Welly goes to the Autosport show at the NEC

Post by Welly »

Anyone else go to this show?

I went on Saturday and quite enjoyed it, spent an hour in the Live Action Arena with various races and stunts being performed. Also saw Petter Solberg ruin the clutch on a Rally Citroen C3 :o it was kinda stuck in gear and kept stalling, they got it going in the end (by pushing it) and he pulled off one round of donuts until the clutch caught fire underneath :shock: they had a Monster Truck which ruined my hearing for the rest of the day (can't really see the point in those) also had 'back stage' passes so were able to watch the mechanics fix Petter's clutch etc.

Because I don't really 'do' Photography I only managed to be arsed to pap two photo's on my old Blackberry, soz...

Watch out in Norfolk:

And this Original Golf GTi, as I say my photography is seriously poor:

Also to be seen were *lots* of show Girls in skimpy outfits :cheesy:

I had planned to go this show yesterday, but last week it took my son 6 hours to get home to Birmingham for a 2 hour trip, so I decided to go to the Custom Show at Manchester.

Here are some photos, sorry if you've already seen them on Facebook.....https://www.flickr.com/photos/peugeot40 ... 232821372/
