I think this is a fair point. Very central location, free parking, easy to get in and out, kids entertainment. Worse ways to kill an hour for free.

As a car show- there is isn't a lot to see but if you are in the market for a new car, or something from the auction then not a bad shout.

My complete thoughts will be in the report.

Went down this morning and walked around for an hour with the wife and kids. It was nothing spectacular but like above it was free and a few cars there most people would rarely see up close (360, mazzers, db9, vantage, rcf). The classics section actually had a really nice collection sitting out on display. Credit to their owners.

Arrived down at 3.20 and security guard said they are all leaving now. and I hadn't missed much. Lol

I was there about 13.00 with the kids and everyone was leaving. I went to get a coffee and the guy selling it was going mad as the organisers had promised stuff to them and they never got any of it.
Good day for it mind you.

I think the problem is that when a major venue such as the Titanic or the King's Hall (in the case of last year's much-discussed fiasco) is used people will have certain expectations. It's great that it is free but that doesn't really excuse an underwhelming experience when said event has been quite heavily promoted beyond the usual car enthusiast channels to Joe Public as a day out for the family.

I can almost gaurantee I know who owns that. He uses that as his daily driver.
