I saw none of you there?

We were at the show on sunday, I was so exhausted yesterday, quite a trip, just walking whole day...or am I getting old

I'm very sorry about the quality of photos...I'm angry, lights on Messukeskus has always been very poor for photographing, last year I said next time I get my own lights with me (some construction spotlights). So I didn't take my own lights...cause Heli's job would have been carrying those lights

I was a bit disappointed about the show, there weren't many "rare" cars...and none Lamborghinis

Audi R8 looked a lot better in live than in photos, I liked it much, from rear it kinda looks like Ferrari (engine area). I would change Esprit for that BUT Heli said no alright she said also NO when I asked: what if I change Esprit to that Ferrari 430 spyder

Still nice way to spend sunday day.

Alright, shut up and show some photos:

Audi R8, mean or what?

Speedometer goes to 350...and over?

Ferrari rear???

Nice Jaguar, XKR cabriolet

What Giugiaro had in mind when this was designed

Ferrari F430 and Heli said I can't change Esprit for that

Nice rear:

Jussi found new Citroen

I was speechless when I saw this...is it a plane...no it's the DJ-car, Fishy isn't this your "style"

So, Who wanna play

Some sort of city-taxi plan...worst taxi I had ever seen...

New Toyota Legend, Kimbers might know more about this...

Only children were allowed to play....in Hummer

My favorite, isn't she cute

Peugeot girls are always the best

There was one guy also giving those posters, I'm not sure why no-one took his posters

Seems like this guy has some fun...

And now some trivia for you!

Who are these 3famous Finnish drivers?

1. (note the Audi signs on background).

2. He has even driven the F-car ...

3. Don't know who is he, but he must be famous...

Here are the rest of the photos :HelsinkiMotorShow2006 ,take a look, like always there are many photos.

And again sorry about light conditions in Messukeskus.

Jussi not allowed to change Esprit to Ferrari or Audi
