1643.0. "Autosports International - NEC" by KERNEL::RHASKING (Fine time to leave me Loose Wheel) Mon Jan 06 1992 10:12

    I visited the Autosports Show at the NEC on Saturday (having missed
    it last year I was determined to go this time). I really enjoyed it,
    lots of racing cars on display from all categories, plus a few
    celebrities (Messrs. Hunt and Walker were doing their bit on Saturday
    and I found it quite entertaining).
    
    The new Allard sports car looks 'a bit space-agish' -- seen the piccies
    in Autosport ??
    
    Just one interesting thing relating to this... In Autosport magazine
    the report indicates that 'Allard have a staff of 24 and are based in
    Chineham, Hampsire'.  Is this the Chineham near Basingstoke or is there
    another one somewhere in Hampshire ?
    
    Anyone else visit the show ?
    
    What were your thoughts ?

	Yes I was there on Saturday as well. I thought Murrays explanation on how he sometimes misses commenting on a major incident very amusing although it leads me to think that the Beeb are trying do the comentary on the cheap!!. I thought the Allard to be very sexy, but I'm not sure if we will see it at Le Mans this year. Another head turner was the Schuppan 962CR, It looked to be extremely well finished, but then again it should for �750,000 quid. I was disappointed that a whole hall was given to karting as well as an arena outside. I didn't venture outside though. Evidently there were "Funny Car burnouts" happening outside as well, but when I heard the announcement, but then no noise I decided it couldn't be anything too serious. Overall I think it was over priced for a show that could be "done" in about 3 hours.
