Autosport International 2005
January 15th 2005 - NEC, Birmingham

Europe's best motorsport show was once again held at the NEC, Birmingham and what a show it was. Stretching 3 halls, from Go-Karting to Rallying to F1 and historic race machines, it was all here, the motorsport stars and their cars. The car manufacturers were there showcasing their newest cars, including the the new Vauxhall Astra 3 door, the all new Ford Focus (as well as the rally version) and the Fiesta ST. Seat unveiled the new Toledo much to much mixed reactions (due to its rear end).

Celebrities were aplenty from different areas of motorsport. The list included David Coulthard, Allan McNish, Jenson Button (via Satellite), Christian Klien, Mark Blundell, Louise Goodman, Justin Wilson, Nick Mason, Gary Paffett, Guy Smith, Jamie Green, Stig Blomqvist, Mark Higgins, Jonny Milner, Jodie Kidd, Jason Plato, AJ Almaninger etc.

The Live Action Arena showcased some of the best driving skill out there with the scent of burning rubber. There were rally cars, remote control car chases, Maseratis, Ferraris, a Lamborghini showcase, and the unveiling of the the new A1 Grand Prix car. All hosted by ulitmate girl-racer Jodie Kidd.

As for the babes, they were aplenty. The usual suspects, page 3 models, Michelle Marsh, Lucy Pinder, Jackie Degg were signing autographs for the fans. A load of the models were posing for photographs and asking for donation to the Tsunami appeal, which I hope everyone gave generously at the show. Anyway, I hope you like the pictures of the ladies below.
