I know what you mean..The wheels on the brown carbon fibre Veyron looked better in the metal, i didn't like the wheels on the blue and white one though looked cack.

The white interior looked amazing on the Veyron dont know how long it would stay clean though!

Hey Paul, great pics, looks like you had an amazing time. Some beautiful motors there

Hows the X5 btw?

BMW need a fecking supercar. Their showing is so poor in events like these. I mean even Lexus made more of an impact!!

Lambo's looked sick...

Thanks!

Really like the look of the Alfa Giulietta...having already owned one Alfa, you'd think I'd no better and steer clear but I might have a look at this when they get here in the Summer.

Cracking pics. Must take my boy in a couple of years when he is a bit older - he would love it

It looked really good in the metal, i know what you mean about Alfa there is just something about them i had a 147 5 years ago and loved every minute of it!

Your boy would love it! quite a few kids there actually they would just past everyone to get to the front to see the cars quite funny really!

I've just got back from a very similar trip - I won't bother posting my Geneva Motorshow piccy's as they're almost the same as yours!

I do have some which I'll post up in the next couple of days from the rest of my trip which included a drive down to Stuttgart to go to the AMG factory, then through Switzerland past Luzern and St Gotthard and down to Monaco for a couple of days.

Those roads to and from Monaco were awesome (save for a very scary drive on a snow covered motorway in Italy - I was down to 5-10mph on some of the hills thanks to the snow and my lack of winter tyres

). The motorway along the Cote d'Azure is like a racetrack with the best view...so much fun!

I did the Geneva show yesterday on my way back up from Monaco - I've literally just got back from a 750 mile drive from Geneva which I started at 11am this morning!

Sounds like you had a good time! I had a couple of hairy moments on the way home going up and over the Alps there was snow everywhere except the road luckily, i didn't have winter tyres either!

Looking forward to your AMG factory pics, i had a sit in C63 AMG estate at the show which looked evil!!

Me and my mates who went have already said we are doing Frankfurt next year! Bet you had fun on the autobahns in the C63? i know i did

Yes - did you see the lovely stitched leather dash on that C63 - my new one will have the same

I wish I could have had that matt-white colour too but it's apparently a €5k option

The C63 did very nicely on the autobahn - I bottled it as the speedo went over the 170mph mark! It's apparently limited to 174mph which I guess would be 180mph on the clock but there just wasn't the room or a straight enough piece of road!

There won't be any pics from inside the AMG factory - they didn't allow any

But I got plenty of the showroom!
