I thought I'd save the best for last, and show you my favourite race cars from the Autosport show all in one go.... Ready, set, go!..... Of course, the car which completely blew my socks off was the Norris Designs SWB Evo9. It was interesting to see the crowds at the show were similarly impressed. Most passer bys, especially those in their 20's
Race car fans at the Autosport show not only got a chance to see some legendary racing machines on display, but the Live Action Arena gave them the opportunity to see, hear and even smell a cool selection of race and production cars do some demo runs. One hangar at the NEC was converted into a stadium track setup, complete with multiple jumbotrons,

I was planning to spend the day out in London, to do a bit of car spotting with my camera, but it was just too cold to contemplate staying outdoors... So I'm back at my lodgings wrapped up under a blanket banging out some blog posts. Let's get started.... Aston Martin 009 is the car that took the 2008 GT1 class victory at Le Mans, and Pro Drive

But there is another major automotive show happening right now which has equal weight into international automotive scenes. With full participation from the planet's three true world championships

But within a few minutes I heard this intense engine sound edging in my general direction. To my surprise, this wild Evo9 appeared along the carpeted walkway... The freshly rebuilt Norris Designs
Erg I seem to be in the grips of permanent jet lag. Every day this week, I've woken up at 02:00 AM on the dot...Bleck..... However, this does allow me to get some blogging done on Speedhunters, which I suppose is good for you lot, our cherished readers..... hey, so I thought I'd start out my Autosport Show coverage by talking about the journey
When I was a kid, my absolute favourite place in the world was Westwood Raceway. It was quite an amazing location, carved into the side of a mountain outside Vancouver, Canada. In the late 70s and early 80s, I used to spend a lot of time there, as my father and I used to race gokarts. I was fairly quick in my time, but I didn't really like racing
