Sorry, Ben. Batteries were flat by the time I got there.

Absolutely, Trent. Sadly ... I think it is actually getting worse ... not better.

Yeah, I still always go though. Even if it is a big car shed as long as Ferrari and and the other few exotics are there then I'll be there.
Cheers

Heading off to the big car shed this afternoon. Will return with photos tomorrow.

Well I also went and like Dave I was also generally unimpressed. However there was still some nice things as per usual.
Dave has shown the other few things there so I'll put up the photos for the cars I think everyone wants to see...

First up the R50. This was the highlight for me. This thing is so impressive. Very very imposing. Plus automatic rear hatch closing is hours of fun just.
258kW @ 3500rpm
850Nm @ 2000rpm
0-100km/h = 6.8sec
12.6L/100km combined average
6 Speed triptronic automatic





Battery mounted in the spare wheel well. Don't think they can fit a 21" spare tyre in there anyway. Also note on the left cylinder for the air suspension.

Now the car I think everyone wants to see. I'll just post up all the pictures whether they're good or bad. Enjoy.

The break pedal on the R50 I could nearly fit both feet on the pedal it was that big and wide. Judging by the brakes on it though when you hit them hard it should pull the beat up. More R36 shots to come...
