Went on Fri... If you like to see cars that you will not be able to buy unless you win the lotteries several times you will love this show- Lambos, Ferraris, Maseratis and Bentley (?!), not to mention all Benz and BMW over 100,000.

But the sight of the cool blue M3 convertible was worth the entry fee itself.

Peugeot had the 206SW on show, as well as 3 307s, 2 206cc , 607 and 406coupe. Also have a WRC 206 there.

The new WRX didn't make it, presumably because Subaru Aus still have plenty of the goggle-eyed one in stock. All the sales people just hanged around the WRXs on display and looking for suckers...

I went to the Car Show on Monday afternoon too.  It was quite interesting and their seemed to be a lot more cars there than in previous years.  The only idiotic stands where the cars were locked happened to be Nissan and Toyota.  Plenty of more much more expensive brands had their doors thrown open for all to see and try.  At this point I have to ask what is the point of displaying at a Motor Show and not letting people have a closer look at the cars?

The highlight for me was the Cooper S, and I was also intrigued by the Ford Focus ST170 (though the design is a bit lost on me) and the Daihatsu Copen - which is kind of a smaller version of the Audi TT. The Peugeot stand wasn't that impressive (they should at least have had a GTi there!) - though I did note that the 206SW had GTi badges on the front guards in the standard position.
