Car: RIP Opel Astra -> 2006 Toyota Corolla Wagon Rep Power: 43 |  I also went to the show, last friday. I wanted to take pictures, but I was too tired from the exam that morning and i couldn't be bothered.I sat in the Viper, S2000, M6, Z4,...And I was surprised by how huge the FXX is in reality. Just like an airplane carrier. It's also very funny how exclusive car makers hire beautiful classy girls to just hang around at the stand, doing just nothing except drinking champagne. Very good motor show !

Car: yamaha banshee (and an opel astra from work) Rep Power: 29 | i meant the coupe  and another thing, what did you think of the cayman? i didn't like it that much, the front and rear are ok, but the side was weird, the bootlid (enginelid?) was to long, to steep, to....

Car: RIP Opel Astra -> 2006 Toyota Corolla Wagon Rep Power: 43 | Well i'm quite a Porsche fan and looking at those cars in real life and in detail made me even more a fan. Everything just oozes quality. When you look at the interior, everything is so superbly built. And if there's one thing I like, it's a thing that has been designed and made to the highest quality. Styling is of course a different matter

Car: Currently the Belgian bus + Saving the environment Rep Power: 18 | The shape of the Cayman is interesting to say the least but I don't like it much because if you check it out from the side its too tall and too squashed horizontally... I'm sad to say but I'm still more used to the 911.... The Cayman is a nice car but I wouldn't go for it...  |

Car: Currently the Belgian bus + Saving the environment Rep Power: 18 | Nope nope, knowing the right people does help 8) Plus Monday when I was there, they didn't let me on... Had to make a call and go again Friday... Funny thing, I tripped when I came off the 612 stand, and I nearly fell in front of a HUGE group of on-lookers... So embarassing...  |
