Autosport International & Pistonheads 2011

Hey all,

 

Haven't posted for a while but still have my love for rado's, it hasn't dissapeared with owning a scooby :tongue:

 

I thought I would post up these pics for you :)

 

1st time I've been to this show before. I had visited mph a couple of times before but felt like it was time for a change and with some truly amazing machines of decades gone by complete with the modern day crop of supercars it didn't dissapoint.

 

Getting up close to Ayrton Senna's MP4/4 was worth the trip alone, I honestly couldn't describe the feeling I got when I 1st laid eyes on the car, standing beside the Jaguar XJR-9 that won Le Mans in 1988, the Maseratti 250f and finally getting a glimpse of the red bull rb6 in the flesh without a field of mechanics standing behind it trying to hide its secrets! I can honestly say for a motorsport fan I can't recommend this show enough, all the cars you watch on tv competing in their various championships is a great spectacle, going to the events is even better but nothing beats actually getting up close and personal to these machines.

 

From the old legends of the past to the modern day racers that tear up circuits week in week out its well worth the journey :)

I went, got complimentary tickets from work. I enjoyed it and spent about 5k in my head! Some nice recaros for sale!!

 

Loving the 200sx with the orange wheels. There was an s15 in the hall, no engine though! Hmmm

 

So much money spent on some of those cars though. I liked the stand of the classic car auction company... E-type for me please!

I went too, It was pretty good! Bit expensive TBF and the Live action arena was rubbish apart from the Robin Reliants!

 

Highlight for me was seeing Ayrton Senna's lotus and his championship winning McLaren MP4/4...In fact the whole McLaren stand was very good!

 

Here are a few pics.....

 

Le Mans winning XJR-9

 

 

Jackie Stewarts BRM H-16 F1 Car...Just imagine the noise....and yes there are 16 little carbies :shock:

 

 

Senna's Lotus, its so cramped inside...The Boost gauge goes upto 4.5Bar :notworthy: 1.5L Engine, 1200bhp in race trim...1500bhp in qualifying and and all in weight of just over 500kg :ignore:

 

 

Group B Porn.......

 

 

The New MP4-12C...they had one with outs clothes on too...seriously impressive!

 

 

Big Big Turbo.............

 

 

A legend......nuff said!
