Its true. I hear the Adelaide one is real shithouse. Sydney gets the best usually...Holden always decide to reveal something awesome there and Melbourne also gets pretty good shows. Dunno about Brissy though..

andyhui01 · February 12th, 2006, 4:09 AM

I'm going to the show in about 2hrs time... I'll get some pics up probably tmr or something images/smilies/biggrin.gif

bren_35 · February 12th, 2006, 10:19 PM

The brisbane motor show is usually pretty light on concept cars, but they usually have all the manufacturers there and all their new models. If you're buying a car the brissy show is great, if your looking for automotive porn, sydney or melbourne is better
