Brisbane International Motor Show (BIMS08)

[DaveMack]

OK folks ... I went ... I saw ... and generally ... I was unimpressed.

All the usual suspects were there, sat in one of these:


Ho hum

and one of these:



Yawn ...

And one of these:



*Puke* ... have you SEEN the interior of one of these? How can they get away with using such crap!

[DaveMack]

So then ... I went looking for the signs I wanted to see



Aha ...



Things were definitely starting to look up.



Oh Baby ...



Come to Papa ...



Drool!!!!



Pure porn.

[DaveMack]

And on to the DUB SHOW!!

Start small ...





and work up ...






and VIN for this

[DaveMack]

Camera batteries failing ...

... but on we go ...













At this stage ... I'll skip over the R36 and go straight for the ...

[DaveMack]

OK ... you've been very patient ... as was I when ...

... I saw this sign:



Cos it was only 3:30 ... and the batteries were just about dead.


But ...



I did ...



just manage ...



to talk my way thru ...



the guards...



and gorgeous girls...



and get one...



lucky ...



snap.




And here



it



is:

















TADA!!! The R36 Passat!!!!!

[DaveMack]

And then, of course ... there was Skoda

Octavia RS





Roomster







and ... some other Euro marques that almost nobody has heard of ...

[DaveMack]

Some BIG turbos ... for the BIG TURBO BOYS:



Big Wheels ... for the BIG WHEELS BOYZ :::



A bike I really liked:

[DaveMack]

and ... undoubtably one of the STARS of the show ...









and then ... the batteries were REALLY flat ... so I went home.

Dave

[DaveMack]

Oh ... did I mention?

... There were some of these there too ...



Yes ... Lancer EVO Xs (what did you think I meant?)

Dave

[DaveMack]

Oh .. and of course ... something for those lads who need that little extra ...

'Cos they don't have it in their pants.

Great shots Dave

Did you get any of the Anniversary Edition Beetle ?

[Sharkie]

Nice Piccies Dave,

I went as well and have to admit that unfortunately the best car on the show for me was the 135i......
rear wheel drive and not 1 but 2 turbos ...

And only $71400 ......

Have to admit as well that the WRX STi was far better than I expected.

Unfortunately no VW Tiguan, might have to go to Melbourne to see its launch there...

TADA!!! The R36 Passat!!!!!

Thanks a lot Dave!!

Now I have to go log onto a website to remember what it looks like and finish my drooling there....

[DaveMack]

Great shots Dave

Did you get any of the Anniversary Edition Beetle ?

Sorry, Ben. Batteries were flat by the time I got there.
