Would be nice if they could do this show in more cities, not all of us can afford either the money or time off work to be able to go interstate for a show like this, but would be able to justify the cost of a ticket to it happening in Adelaide.

I went on Friday night and to be honest i wasn't that impressed.

If you've been to movieworld, then you've seen all the stunt driving before.
The car soccer was good to watch.

One thing i noticed was when they brought all the cars out ,, the ferrari and audi etc it would have been nice if they gave em a rev so we could hear them.

All in all - when it was over , my brother and i were both a bit disappointed. I got the ticket for xmas -- but if i had payed $130 to see that i would have been vigorously annoyed

agree with the others, going by those pics the fpv really does look like plain jane next to the maloo.

Well went and saw the show tonight and was pretty disappointed. The "concourse" part or whatever they call it outside was terrible. I was hoping to see the car model tent like they had in Sydney last year (was keen to buy a model car today). They should have more car tents, ie detailing, car models, Bathurst / old school displays, you know things that car enthusiasts want to see. Even a V8 supercar tent. What they had was woeful.

Yes the jokes were scripted, and the stunts also are very much the same as the last two years, and I guess that I may be spoilt as I have been now for 3 years in a row. But if they want to kepp the average punter coming back year after year, then they need to change the show a bit.

Enjoyable afternoon with mates.... had a steak at the Breaky Creek with a few beers then off to the show, so a great afternoon. But the show itself wasn't that great.

Well I guess its a bit like going to movie world 3 years in a row!!!

I enjoyed it as it was my first one, but I won't be going again next year!

The ABC Radio review, this morning, said " it was what they expected, entertainment, nothing spectacular. They said " Shanes knowledge of cars was poor, compared to James and Jeremy's"

I went on Saturday, and enjoyed it more than I thought I would, seeing as I've also done the last 2 years in Sydney.

Everyone is right so far on the Ford vs Holden crowd, but I screamed my ring out for the F6 when I had the chance.

I too was disappointed at the lack of F6 bling, even more when I first arrived to see bugger-all out the front in Ford crowd entertainment.

Overall it was a good show, with enough change to keep me entertained.
Yes the tv-aspect is probably getting a bit stale, but for those that haven't been to a show it is needed so they can relate it to TV.

The biggest mistake for me was that I had no grenades for that Yaris.....
