British Motor Show - pictures

About two weeks ago I went to the British Motor Show and had the pleasure of viewing many wicked looking cars, sitting in a few, and getting my very own squishy stress-ball from a GPS navigation stall that I had been searching for all day...

All these photos were taken with my cellphone, a 1.3 megapixel Nokia 6230i.
















Renault F1
















Toyota Supra
















Toyota Supra II
















The Vauxhall (heh heh) Monaro VXR















The new Jaguar XKR
















The Aston Martin Rapide (ooh, baby!)
















Aston Martin Rapide II
















The Ferrari 'pit challenge' where the refuelling was simulated but the tyres looked pretty genuine and heavy... The drill made a bloody racket too. I'm sure the team wrote off heaps of locking nuts that day. You could tell from the noise when a person was slowly killing their drill.
















The new concept car from Saab - Aero X
















Aero X II
















Aero X III
















The mighty Excelero (which looks like it has severe braces)
















Excelero II (with specs) UPDATE: A pretty useless photo - the specs aren't at all clear. But looky here!
















Nissan 350z in racing stripes with roll cage and full kit
















Another Jag - all I had as the description was 'umz jag'. I dunno what model it is but it was mighty fine and all that needed pimping was the tints...
















The interior of said umz jag...
















And lastly, Ford had this weird thing on their stall, a VR (virtual reality) penalty kick program. You have a strap on your foot and you get one step to simulate a kick towards the goal. The sensor around your waist determines your view of the goal (and presumably gives the keeper bot certain information). Interesting, but you'd have to keep the VR shades on while you do it, lest you catch sight of how gumby you look. This kid certainly looked it.
