MotorShow 2002!

Since I'll be off work for the next 10 days I thought I'd go visit the MotorShow at the NEC arena in Birmingham, tomorrow!
Anyone else going?

I hope it's as good as the Italian MotorShow in Bologna, although I doubt it, as in that one we even have outdoor races with rally cars, sooters, motorbikes and so on, while indoor it's so massive it takes more than one day to check it all out! And the babes..... hmmmmmmm

Come on England, show me what you are made of!

Oh, and anyone knows how much it is?

I'm there on Sunday, not in the cc though (not sure it'll get me there !)

Check out http://www.motorshow.co.uk/

Tickets are Â£15 + Â£1 booking fee, don't forget the rip-off Â£8 parking charge.

I know I've just seen that! OMG Â£8 parking is the mother of all ripoffs!

For the italian one, www.motorshow.it also in english (and german and some other language)

I'm going on Monday. been invited by Jag to have a tour of their Browns Lane Factory and "meet" the new XJ and then get minibused over to the NEC for the day. Should be good and cannot wait to see the 307CC. Also want to see how the StreetKa is going to measure up to the 206CC and see what other CCs are coming on to the market

The Daily Mail were offering 2 for 1 tickets as they are one of the Sponsors.
Also I remember seeing discounted tickets on a motorshow website - maybe they have stopped that now?
If you go can you ensure you take lots of pics of the 307cc!
Thanks

ok, I'm back got lots of goodies, LOTS of pics... but got no website to host them.. some 1ask lyndon where I can put them up if you want to see them! There was a very high number of GORGEOUS girls around the different stands, but most of them TOOOOOO clothed! I have to say from this point of view the Italian motor show is muuuuch better eheheh. (not coz the girls r nicer, coz they r less clothed lol)... took some interesting pics of some of them too.... and BOND girls too.. hmmmm, very enjoyable day indeed, apart FROM THE BLOODY TRAFFIC ON THE M6 on the way back.... birmingham-manchester= 3,5 hours! unbelievable

TheMinel

just email the motorshow pictures to

lyndon@peugeot206cc.co.uk

can you send them in .jpg format, the size of them shouldn't be a problem

TheMinel · Post by **TheMinel** » Sun Oct 27, 2002 11:19 am

are you sure the size is not a problem? We are talking 60 pics at nearly 60 megs total...... if you want them no problem I'll send them to you! Even zipped they are still 58 megs..... they all r .jpg the only problem is that since the resolution is quite high (eheh) then the size is accordingly big....

er perhaps they are a bit too large

can you resize them to 720pixels wide this should reduce the file size some what, then send them in small batches

just use paint shop pro or something similar

thanks again
