I know that this is nothing to do with Roller Coasters or Theme Parks but here is a picture report about my day at The British Motorshow in Lodon in ExCel. It was a great day, not just for cars but they had Landrover Expreriences, Mazada Drive Yourself experiences, Motion Simulators!, and even a Westfield (like a Caterham) experience! It was a fantastic day and here are the pictures that were taken. (I am in a lot of the pictures, even though I didnt want to my Dad insisted I was!)

One Canada Square is an amazing building, the highest in London, and welcomed us into the Jubilee Line station.

One of the first cars we saw was a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. One of the most beautiful cars ever made. This is one of my favourite cars of all time and its best colour is bright green!

My Dad was really excited about the next car. The Ariel Atom. Extremely small, but extremely good looking in a strange way. I cant really say it was in its best colour but it certainly looked good!

After the Ariel Atom we saw the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. I really like this car and its very luxurious. It was a strange colour but strangely it was nice!

The Bugatti Veyron was there but was quite disppointing. I was expecting it in strong colours like white and blue and mabye giving it its own stand. But it kinda seemed.....dare i say it....... boring.

Probably my favourite car of the whole day was the new Lotus Evora. It was much bigger than all of the other Lotus cars but still looked very much like a Lotus. The front looked similar to the Elise and Exige and the back was very much like them. It will be released summer `09.

Also there was the new Ford Focus RS. The colour was really eye cathing but the car had a really strange spoiler. Looked cool though.

Next was the extremely fun Landrover experience. The queue was absolutely huge, almost an hour but it was worth it. We went down steep hills, highly banked corners, and rough terrain!

I even took some POV shots....in the car! Hehe. First we went up the 30 degree hill.

Then we went back down. It didnt come close to Oblivion but it felt pretty steep!

After the ride we headed of to the Vauxhall paddock. The first car we saw the small but cool VXR Corsa in white with black wheels. It had a pretty normal interior but it did look really cool.

Then we saw the wierdest car ever. I have no idea what it was called but it had cool interior and had Segways attached to the back!

Also the new Range Rover that does 60mpg was there. It wasnt really my kind of car but looked ok.

At 3:00pm we went to the Honda show that was quie cool. They had some people with different coloured tops singing. Reminded me of when I used to watch Cebeebies lol. The cars and motorbikes were cool but it wasnt as good as the Vauxhall show last time.

After the show was the best part of the whole day. The Westfield Drift experience. A professional drove me round a curcuit drifting at every corner. The acceleration was absolutely mega and at times i felt like i was on a roller coaster!

Suprisingly, we hadnt noticed the second supercar paddock outside. Here there was ANOTHER Koenigsegg. Wow.

In the same paddock there was a Porsche Carrera GT in a nice mustardy yellow colour. It would have looked better in silver or black but I was just pleased to see one!

Another lovely Pagani Zonda F. This colour suites the car but the interior wasnt as nice as the one inside.

We were wondering where the Ferrari Enzo was. And when we saw it it was beautiful. One of the best cars of the day.

The last photo of the day was me with a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. It still is my favourite car!
The day was fantastic and I was so pleased that we went. I hope you really enjoyed looking at the photos and as I said they are nothing to do with Roller Coasters and Theme Parks but I hope that you like cars as much as I do![:D]
Thanks!
Jordz.
