SELECTED: Big bad Germans 2/2 – BMW M5 & more @ Frankfurt IAA 2011

21 september 2011, 20:20

Solidifying the Top 2 brands at FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTORSHOW is BMW who didn’t have the same amount of news as Mercedes, but their new generation M5 F10 (see VIDEOCLIP HEREwas still a big draw we had talked about before the expo started.

 

Since it just happened to be so, we attended their press-release first thing and were totally blown away by the size of media/HiFi equipment used in their presentation.

 

Sound was crisper then any home cinema I have ever enjoyed, and seeing the cars rolling on the almost velodrome like surface was cool as sh*t to be honest!

 

They would later be trumfed by Mercedes (in my opinion) but getting into the Top 2 when there are still big brands like VW and Audi among others to compete with… well not bad at all. Hee we go, as usual its maestro Martin ”BILBILDER.SE” Persson who has done the photographing:

 

 

(And here he is, the meanest but still ”squarest” guy in town! Picture a Clark Kent without his glasses and innocent look, doing what his Superman alter ego does best- kick ass! We were truly raving about the front end of the car which had me thinking some toned down Ferrari F430 Scuderia design. Everything including the engine which is a Twin-turbo V8 makes perfect sense on this car…)

 

(…and a shot from the rear, this time in even more innocent white colour. Perhaps they went a little too subtle with it, and its possible the only part of the car I would ”dress up” with something more agressive. Got any ideas?)

 

 

(The catchphrase is ”The most powerful letter” or something to that extent, but M has become more then their top of the line performance beast; and more about offering for example bodykits from factory to your regular model. Doubt this is news for ya’ll as there has always been ”M-packages” available, but they seem to market it more openly apart from their M3/M5 etc now. Will it water down its true status…?)

 

 

(Even the standard 1-series has its own M-package now and it sure does give it a nice ”little package of dynamite” sort of look, doesn’t it? Apparently Martin had a friend who had a real 1M coming his way soon, so you could feel the good-hearted jelousy right there. This aint it, but could be better on a budget? Still feel its more of a ”car for the girlfriend” kind of model, hate me all ya want!)

 

 

(Nothing new on the BMW M3 front, but Martin insisted that its a damn shame so few dare to try the classic red colour on this sleek machine? Perhaps its more common practice to use something more ”conservative” just like the stale and correct Germans would like it; but I do agree the car does look bad-ass apart from the silver wheels which need to go gun-metal or flat black now!)

 

 

Maybe not that fair of a gallery to show how big their presence was, but I can honestly say its much clearer on how much bigger and more news-filled Mercedes was. You have to remember that they sort of semi-shared their stall with Mini Cooper and Rolls-Royce as well…

 

Finally getting somewhere is trying to recap the FRANKFURT IAA EXPO this year around, all these SUPERIOR SELECTED galleries give a decent look of it anyway- and then you got the ”100 seconds of..” HERE to give you a glimpse of each car as well.

 

We could blog all year around if we gave everything a deeper look, but hope you like that we keep it in a ”bloggy” entertaining way instead… 🙂


VIDEO: 100 seconds of the 850 HP Dacia Duster @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

21 september 2011, 13:42

Here is a bit of a surprise, when we saw that Dacia were on location we… didn’t care at all! But looking closer, we saw a car which made us change our opinion- Dacia Duster! Funny that the least sporty brand on FRANKFURT MOTORSHOW 2011 still brought one of the meanest racecars?

 

This thing is as you can guess a Pikes Peak racecar, and with its 850HP coming from the Nissan GT-R engine it gives me the same feeling as that Suzuki Swift did in some random videogame a few years or so back?!

Bit of a sleeper for the ”car I would like to drive” award at Frankfurt, but if the occasion would come I would probably be far too scared getting into this small monster. We all know the old Gruppe B drivers had to take a lot of pills sometimes to manage their fears and block adrenaline racing their beast so… maybe not a wise move for an amature driver like me!

 

The Frankfurt-frenzy continues today with more ”100 seconds of…” clips and plenty of SUPERIOR SELECTED top quality galleries. Hope your enjoying the show so far…


SELECTED: Big bad Germans 1/2 – Mercedes @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

21 september 2011, 05:43

Time to drop some heavy heavy loads of pics here with the german giants Mercedes and later today BMW showing us how the elite do it at FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTORSHOW!

 

I’ll let my opinions stand in the blog-texts on which one I thought was the biggest or best (same thing?), but assure you Martin BILBILDER.SE Perssons pictures will let you form your own opinion; and we would love to hear about it in the comments below! 🙂

 

 

(No, this is not a toy car and quite more serious at that. Its actually a concept Mercedes are doing to build the first real ”emission free supercar”, and in the shape of the SLS AMG E-cell they are well on their way! Not going to give you too much technical data on it, but the colour called AMG Lumilectric magno was almost tough to look at without sunglasses! While Martin thought it was there to lure flies and insects away from the rest of the stand; I gave this the ”markes pen/car” award of the year. Quite unique but… do you like it?!)

 

 

(Here is our favourite and a reason we went back several times, the Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series. Seeing how its even more agressive then its pre-release with a bunch of carbon goodies you would expect on a Time Attack car only, it was for sure something that caught our eye. Thinking about it, even the wheels got a lot of ”JDM Time Attack” shape on them. Hope the upcoming ”100 SECONDS OF…” VIDEO will make this truly evil car justice!)

 

 

(Evidence #1: The Mercedes stall at Frankfurt was three stories high and had the most advanced (humongous) LED-screen we had ever seen. It actually had several dimensions in it, which is hard to explain- but putting a car sandwiched between them could make an animation that made it look like it was driving in standstill. Only thing we didnt like was that the view of the main stage was quite poor during their press-conference. But other then that, I think both me and Martin agree Mercedes took the prize of most impressive presence overall in Frankfurt 2011!)

 

(Breaking news: Superior Blog has boobies uncandidly in it! Iam sure you would hope for something different though, as in some weird German sense of humour way, they had several trucks outside their hall with gentlemen like this guy. Pretty weird if you ask me, but a smash hit with visitors who wanted to take their pictures with them all day long. Maybe the ”man-boob” look is whats hot in this day and age?)

 

 

(Ok, back to the cars and news Mercedes had rather then silly gimmicks. This is the A-klasse concept and it was really sharp and took us by storm! Lots of details we totally fell for, and you bet that there is a ”100 secons of…” clip coming of it as well. Doesn’t seem very realistic to ever see something like this in production, but Mercedes proves they are well ahead of time in sharp designing IMO…)

 

 

(One more concept, which seemed far more dear to ”ze germans” around it with plenty of security and constantly being covered by TV-teams. This pic might not show it in all its glory, but ”holy huge gull-wing doors Batman” indeed?! As we said in the VIDEOCLIP of this concept, its probably Lady Gagas choice of a future car but still maintaining that ”majestic” Mercedes look as well.)

 

 

(And to finish it we got a… motorbike?? Actually, when it comes to testosterone experts Ducati hooking up with the brilliant engineers of AMG we cant help ourselves giving it some attention. Looking at certain details you can tell that wheels and such have a lot of AMG design-blood in them, and the colour-scheme reminds me of a certain Cobra V12 we did a coverage on a while ago… anyone remember that?)

 

 

We really want to applaud Mercedes for bringing an immense number of news to the expo, really being outstanding in that sense. There were a whole lot of other world premieres and exciting stuff to watch here, and embarrasingly enough we missed some of them- but hope you like the gallery anyway!

 

We hate to repeat ourselves all the time, but if you got Facebook then make sure to add OURS and MARTINS to it for little details which Iam sure you will enjoy if you like the Superior-blog.

 

Later tonight we got Part 2 of the ”big bad germans” with BMW showing what they had to compete with vs Mercedes…


VIDEO: 100 seconds of Ferrari 458 Spider @ Frankfurt IAA 2011

21 september 2011, 04:56

Lets get this one over with, Ferrari was as always a major attraction at the FRANKFURT IAA 2011 and their stall was always too full for our patience to cope with it- and that even if the only major news was the 458 Spyder (Hardtop actually).

 

We were in quite a rush here, and did not felt like waiting in line to get a clearer shot- then suddenly the hardtop came off and we wanted to shoot that right away so… meh, not one of our best clips. Maybe just out of entertainment value of my obvious hesitation all the time. 😉

Doing a re-shoot is for wimps, and the good news is that thanks to AUTOROPA which is Swedens Ferrari dealer #1 we will get a closer look of it anyway.  So don’t want to be unecessarily hard on myself but, forget about this clip and check ALL THE OTHER ”100 seconds of…” we did at Frankfurt instead. 😉

 

Looking at the list of features like this one still waiting we got some really impressive ones that remain and we are more happy with.

Hope they are scratching the surface on how big and awesome this expo was…


VIDEO: 100 seconds of Bentley Continental GTC @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

20 september 2011, 15:55

Following up our ASTON MARTIN clip we got another British nobleman this time in its most summer-friendly mood; The Bentley Continental GTC that world premiered at FRANKFURT IAA MOTOR SHOW 2011!

 

Bentley seems to have found a secret forumula were these behemoths in size still look sleek, sporty and inviting for anyone to drive. Lots of love from us to the Crewe based automakers which I think have finally distinguished them totally from ”big brother” Rolls-Royce!

I liked the result of this clip as it showed most the car in a good way, some of our clips leave some of that to wish for- but I guess shooting over 30 cars in less then two days makes it excuseable. Got another hot convertible that world premiered thats coming up shortly too in the Ferrari 458 Spyder!

 

Do you agree with that this GTC is certainly something you wouldn’t mind ”coming to a party in”?

I know there was a bunch of such dream cars, but this one get a high place on my personal wishlist for such occasion… 😉


SELECTED: US of A! Corvette, Ford Focus ST & Jeep @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

20 september 2011, 12:57

We got another mixed one coming here, with some news from the United States of America bringing it with Corvette, new Ford Focus ST and new Jeep Grand Cherokee among others at the FRANKFURT 2011 IAA MOTORSHOW!

 

The general consceous between me and Martin BILBILDER.SE Persson who shot these, was that there honestly werent’t much new on the western front of the world. But as with ze french we wanted to give a glimpse of them anyway. There were a few homeruns made afterall…?

 

 

(I know ya’ll clicked this after reading about Corvette, but sorry to dissapoint you- there is nothing new to share here while we await some more news about the next C7 generation of the worlds most (?) historic sportscar. They did bring a C6-R racecar and also their top dog from factory in the ZR-1… But thats like stated nothing new. Is a wild thought about Corvette doing more then one type of car too rad…?)

 

 

(Here is the new Jeep Grand Cherokee and guess what, its a damn nice car which has done a succesful jump to its next generation! How can you say anything else now that Maserati will base their upcoming SUV on this car? It was too bad Martin could not get a shot of the ladies that you could often see stand next to this car as they were pretty exotic… but this was a car-blog, right? Moving on!)

 

 

(Ford were pretty aggressive at the expo with several sportier models being showcased, among them this Focus ST which we hope will prove to be a good car to lure ”newer generations” of tuning-freaks into the world. We’ve see what the Mazda 3 MPS has done, and Iam sure if this is anything near Fords final release for the ST it will be a huge succes…)

 

 

(No love for the Transformer named ”Bumblebee”? He was according to Martin not getting much attention, and you could almost spot a robotic tear of diesel coming of his eye. Now honestly, lets not get silly- but perhaps its not a truly catchy idea to bring a giant robot to a car expo? Maybe the kids will love it during the normal day of the Motor show.)

 

 

Have to move on quickly from here, but keeping an eye out on all the GALLERIES WE’VE DONE SO FAR it seems like the winners at the moment are the British automakers in terms of interesting things to blog about? Looking at all the ”100 SECONDS OF…” VIDEOCLIPS I tend to lean more towards the Italian ones. What do you like best so far?

 

The march continues, we know this is just a mad amount of posts coming out- but how about saving some for later if you feel its too much? As always very appreciative of your comments; bring it! 🙂


SELECTED: French quickie with Citroën, Renault & Peugeot @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

20 september 2011, 08:31

To say that french automakers like Peugeot, Renault and Citroën are rarely on a car enthusiasts radar is quite an understatement, but at FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTOR SHOW we did find a few rare gems that we felt deserved at least a small mention here in the blog.

 

Martin BILBILDER.SE Persson was particularly fascinated by the different concepts being shown, definately in the least something different for the eye to behold. We’ll leave it up to you to judge if they are interesting or non!

 

(This is in my opinion the ”sci-fi hipsters” wet dream, and Citroën did not stop at just keeping this bus-like concept just wild in itself, they actually had three young futuristicly dressed and face-painted individuals to accompany it while it spun around and around. Looks like their take on the future is that we will all look hideously bored, as we noticed they did just that with a passion; don’t ask me how you look ”passionately bored”- just look at these guys…)

 

 

(Whoooo! At least we found one real piece of gold here in the Peugeot section which was their Le Mans racecar that just looks so incredibly mean in person! Fun memory here is that it was among the first places we saw at the expo just after a really stacked BMW press-show. Rehersing our first unofficial ”100 seconds of…” segment and all reminds me of a lot of excitement!)

 

 

(At least Renault put a lively colour on their concept which actually looks quite good compared to a lot of other sportier SUV-type of vehicles on display in Frankfurt? Not digging the ”Dotz-style” wheels though although they do make up for their tacky look in sheer size.)

 

 

(Another piece from Renault stand which felt like a bit more realistic and not too far-fetched concept. Dig these wheels a lot better then their other concept, and the colour-combo isn’t too bad either. Nice to see some real stopping power in those huge front calipers too!)

 

 

Maybe not the gallery in SUPERIOR SELECTED that will make you rave to your friends about us, but we still hope you like getting a bit of everything from the FRANKFURT MOTOR SHOW. Iam sort of amazed Martin had time to shoot all these pictures and none of them really looks below average (understatement). Feel free to give the lad some well deserved critisizm! 🙂

 

Not stepping of the gas here, what was accomplished at the expo must come out so we can leave this incredible event behind us. More SELECTED gallerier later today and plenty of VIDEOCLIPS as well!


VIDEO: 100 seconds of Aston Martin Zagato & One-77 @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

20 september 2011, 04:26

Time to get busy again with our ”100 seconds of…” clips (Find them all HERE) from the FRANKFURT IAA 2011 EXPO, this time with the most noble of all british brands- Aston Martin! We got most of the Zagato concept, some V12 Vantage and also a tiny bit of One-77 in a special colour!

Oddly enough, I feel quite dissapointed at myself for not spending more time in this part of the expo. Never made a secret of that Aston Martin is a brand I did pull a lot of inspiration from on my current 700+HP Toyota Soarer project. But, forget about that and enjoy among my usual confusing english some damn good automaking… 😉

How do you feel about the Zagato? Is it perfection in the making? And do you agree with that the colour of that One-77 could possibly be the worst one to pick for such an astounding car?

Really looking forward to more feedback on these clips, don’t be shy to comment below and take your time to check them ALL OUT HERE! 🙂


SELECTED: Asian buffét @ Frankfurt IAA 2011 (Suzuki, Kia, Mazda, Infiniti, Honda & Lexus)

20 september 2011, 01:07

I really wish Harvey @ Epic Mealtime could do the intro for this mixed gallery of Suzuki, Kia, Mazda, Infiniti, Honda and Lexus since its got m0ar of everything we like  from the far east that was shown @ FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTORSHOW!

 

Since its hard to make SUPERIOR SELECTED galleries of each brand individually, Martin BILBILDER.SE Persson decided to shuffle it around a bit. I think it also makes for a quite more interesting read as well, so please comment on how you like it? 🙂

 

 

(I do hate to throw probably a lot of peoples hard work under the bus, but I have to do it times x2 this time. First of all, Mazda did not bring anything even remotely interesting for us to make in-depth coverage of; we were actually hoping to get some Furai at least. But seeing this CX-5 sports SUV or whatever those insanely watered out classes are called- it really put Subarus similar latest model to shame *will still forever remember it by its revelation which was similar to two socks being crossed and then pulled apart…*)

 

 

(This beautiful very ”catwalk-materialish” model actually summarized the whole attitude of the Infiniti stand quite well. Cold, a bit stale; but with some nice content despite that. I just feel that if likewise this lady would have shown a smile or twitch, and Infiniti themselves would have put more effort into ”loosening up” instead of keeping dark costume dressed goons (!)- they would have left more of an impression on us…)

 

 

(And keeping to Infiniti, here is a SUV which was a Sebastian Vettel edition with loads of damn nice carbonfibre to an often forgotten but highly desired car. What you see is what you get, nothing more then this to highlight and give a contrast to the clean exterior- I guess they tried to go ”german” in a stale boring way this time in Frankfurt?)

 

 

(Totally different story at Suzukis stand which offered the only juice/smoothie-bar of the expo! Me being a closet health freak when occasions to be one arise; never hesitated to ask for a shot of any of these colourful babies. More plus for having vibrant young girls that gave more then just good looks, as PIERRE BLOGS ABOUT HERE in swedish they also ”knew their” stuff on for example the new Suzuki Swift Sport coming out soon!)

 

 

(Time for you guys to pick this new Honda Civic 2012 apart a bit more then what our ”100 seconds of…” VIDEOCLIP did. I for sure disliked the rear part, but had some good vibrations of the front end which has to compete with the Mercedes CLS in most dramatic decrease from windshield and forward. Get what I mean? Post your opinion on the model that started it all in the US when it comes to ”JDM-tuning”…)

(Here is something odd, guess which automaker had a really talked about concept that stood out among many? Kia (!) with its bold and daring GT concept which they hope will spawn a cheap rear-wheel drive car in the future?! This one had a very luxorious feel to it, and if the gold arches around the pillars doesn’t tell the story then I doubt anything will.)

 

 

(There was some interest regarding the next generation of the Lexus GS and I think we can all safely say, this is basically a IS combined with a LS in terms of exterior looks. I think its sort of bland, and being an Toyota Aristo and Toyota Soarer owner myself I was quite fond of the previous generations front. But I doubt VIP-companies in Japan like Junction Produce will need much time to start giving the newest generation some love- and rest assured our hearts will follow to accept this generation of the GS as well…)

 

 

(Well well, have you observed the picture and come up with your own funny caption on why this girl appears so happy to see me? Don’t bother as its probably because it must have become quite obvious we used the Toyota ”café” setup in their stand as a station to catch our breath several times a day. Big thumbs up to them for this generosity to the press, but honestly it was the only thing besides the FT-86 concept we felt was interesting here. And oh, don’t miss the ”100 seconds of…” VIDEOCLIP of that one either!)

 

 

I just can’t help myself saying ”damn I miss Frankfurt” seeing all these pics again, it was on location in the eye of the storm impossible to comprehend how impressive the whole experience was- many many memories we were not awere of at the moment were created in every single minute of the two days we stayed there…

 

Hope you enjoyed this one, got some smaller galleries coming out throughout the day with some French and American brands showing what they got.

 

Always feel free to comment below if you are curious about something, been a certain lack of that from you- go on and please Martin as well by liking HIS FACEBOOK! 😉


Frankfurt : Nya Suzuki Swift Sport och Xite!

19 september 2011, 23:17

Suzuki var en monter som inte låg i mitt och Rani´s schema.
Men eftersom jag fortfarande ändå är intresserad och lite smått sugen på en Swift så ville jag ju se den nya Swift Sport.

 

Till att börja med så ska jag förklara hur hela Suzuki montern var.
För det första så fanns Suzuki i den absolut tråkigaste och stelaste hallen av dom alla.
Och där försökte Suzuki vara så… ”energifyfllda” som möjligt.

 

Det delades ut frukt smooties, Druvsockertabletter.
Alla som stod i montern var unga och snygga
Det spelades hög musik och dom som stod vid bilarna hade nog blivit ombedda att dansa lite då o då 🙂

 

Längst fram i montern så står där en fräck Swift uppe på ett podium vid en väldigt söt, väldigt närgången, väldigt trevligt och väldigt påläst montertjej.

 

Detta var en av dom 5 snyggaste tjejerna på mässan, Och till skillnad från alla andra så var inte hon bara ett pretty face utan hon kunde faktiskt svara på alla frågor vi hade om just den bilen.
Dom andra var hon inte påläst om men det gjorde inget.

 

Cool bil, Snyggt kjolpaket och striping..

 

 

Men.. Detta var inte Sporten..
Detta utförandet kallas för Xite,

 

 

Och vad jag förstod det som så finns det paketet bara i tyskland, Och kommer så småningom finnas på alla Suzuki modeller och inte bara Swiften.

 

Lite längre in i montern så stod där en vit Swift Sport snurrandes.

 

 

Men… Den var inte lika cool…
Visst.. Samma vinge som Xite fast här med bromljuset integrerat i vingen.

 

En annan front.. En hel front istället för ett kjolpaket.. Sportigare stolar. Men fortfarande såg Xite coolare ut.

 

Brevid Sporten så stod där en till sport.. Men som såg ännu coolare ut..

 

 

Jag frågade om skillnaden mellan dessa två men det sa dom först att det var båda en basic Sport…

 

Jag visade dom alla skillnader jag kunde lätt se med blotta ögat.. Och då kom det senare fram en äldre, skäggig gubbe som förklarade att detta var en Swift Sport men med ett extra kjolpaket.

 

 

Denna extra utrustade Sporten såg ut så som vi tyckte en vanlig Sport skulle se ut.
Men som vi vet nu så.. kaka på kaka på kaka.. Och sen blir en full utrustad Swift Sport jävligt dyr..

 

Priset på Swift  Sport startar på 14.000 Euro i Tyskland.


VIDEO: ”100 seconds of Swedish automaker SAAB @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

19 september 2011, 21:12

Say what? Did you mean the same automaker that is currently put out of business and ready to be shopped on a huge discount by some random group of Chinese people? I guess so, please dont take this clip too serious-  as we surely didn’t… 😉

The state of the whole ordeal with Saab is quite sad indeed, but we hope they will bounce back as a small ”nische” kind of brand somewhere. But if you can’t play with the big dogs of the upper middle class of the auto industry you can’t expect to be bailed out by the government. What do you guys think?

 

Far more (serious) ”100 seconds of…” clips can be found in a neat and tidy thread HERE. Enjoy! 🙂


Frankfurt : Lamborghini = Dyra leksaker.

19 september 2011, 18:30

Yeah yeah.. Det enda som skiljer män ifrån pojkar är priset på deras leksaker. Eller vice versa.. Yada yada.

När jag och Rani kom till Lamborghini montern så var detta det första jag såg.

En riktigt cool modellbil utav nya Aventador i äkta kolfiber.

Just precis innan så hade jag beklagat mej till Rani om ”Fan vad italienarna försöker sälja merchandise”.

Men verklighetstrogna miniatyrer/modeller har jag alltid gillat..
Så givetvis blev jag impad över denna.. Och tänkte.. ”En sån skulle man haft.. Men den är väl säkert onödigt dyr” och gissade på ett pris runt 10.000kr kanske.

Rani hade bråttom till dom riktiga bilarna, Med all rätt.. Och sen.. Ja.. Sen så tänkte jag inte så mycket mer på den modellen (ordvits) kan jag säga…

Jag och Rani stod där och beundrade…. Montern… Länge..
Och under denna ca timmen vi stod där och stirrade så var där en väldigt spinkig gubbe som gick runt i montern utan presspass..

Lite senare så stod han och inspekterade den svarta Aventador som stod uppe i montern riiiktigt länge och noga.. I minsta detalj.. Allt medans ett helt filmteam följde honom..

Jag och Rani skrattade lite och undrade ”Vem fan e det? ”
Ne det var ingen Lamborghini-anställd designer.. Det visste jag..

Dagen efter så var vi där i montern igen.. Och gubben var kvar.. Då frågade Martin mej samma sak..
Men vi hade ingen aning om vem denna uppenbarligen V.I.P gubben var..

Och nu har jag fått svar på tal minst sagt..

Såhär ligger det till.

Gubben heter Robert Gülpen, Och han har gjort denna modellbilen.

Och ja.. Den var som gissat ”onödigt dyr”.

Denna 1:8 modell utav Lamborghini Aventador kommer bara göras i ett ex gissar jag.
Vilket ökar priset ytterligare givetvis..

Sen så var det då äkta kolfiber vilket jag kunde se direkt..
Men.. Där är också gulddetaljer.. Och fälgar i platina.. Och diamanter lite här och där…

Så ja.. Den är dyr..

Hur dyr är då denna ”leksaksmodell” av Aventador?

Ett par gånger dyrare än en bensindrivande Aventador i full storlek tyvärr…

Ja.. Ett par gånger..

Eftersom den bara ska göras i ett ex så kommer den att auktioneras ut.
Utgångspriset är 4.7 miljoner…….
Vill du köpa den direkt utav att vänta så är priset 6 miljoner….

Onödigt dyr?
Men om jag säger som såhär då..
Det är inte svenska kronor jag snackar… Utan i American dollars 😉
Jepp.. Vill du ha denna utan att behöva buda på auktion så kostar det dej 6 miljoner dollar….
Så med lite enkel huvudmatte så får du alltså 15st fullt körbara Aventador som är 8 gånger större för priset av denna modellbil….

SUPERIOR SELECTED: Lamborghini, ”ti voglio bene” – Frankfurt IAA 2011

18 september 2011, 23:32

Here comes a serious SUPERIOR SELECTED gallery from FRANKFURT IAA MOTORSHOW  2011 filled with Italian passion as strong as a cup of ristoretto: Automobili Lamborghini and all the raw energy they brought to the expo!

 

Going over all the things we loved at the expo makes it hard to keep all descriptions on a relative balanced level, but let me just explain that this stall truly was one of the showstoppers at the expo. Make sure you also watch the ”100 seconds of…” videoclip we did of their stall.

 

Extremely happy about that one so go watch it, but now lets see how Martin BILBILDER.SE Persson with free acces did his best to show why we are still in ecstasy talking about this part of our Frankfurt visit…

 

 

(Lets try and put this angle of the photo into perspective, and think about how many other journalists at this moment were watching Martins behind being in the way of that one perfect shot. The timing of this photo is superb, seeing the two large monitors had all sorts of crazy video going on apart from the wild bull logo…)

 

 

(Seeing two such contrasting colours on the Aventadors was very pleasant for the eyes. I know the typical choice would be the matte black one, but the white would not be totally crossed from the list as a complement if it was just  matter about Monopoly money. Where do you place your heart, white or black?)

 

 

(And here is the black Aventador with its devilish temporary owner (?). We played a little game of ”car or …?” and eventhough Christian Bale will drive this in the new Batman movie the choice was certainly not clear for all of the members in the Superior Team on location in Frankfurt…)

 

 

(*Obvious tagline* of that Lamborghini surely had our world spinning around. Funny thing is that among over 30 different clips me and Martin shot over two days, there was only one place which had us ”starstruck” enough to forget to put on the microphone the first time around. Ouch! Luckily the Italian gentleman just had a quick laugh about it an gave us acces to the stage one more time to shoot THE CLIP again.)

 

 

(And one from the rear of the Aventador giving you all you need about them. There was talks about Lambo bringing their ”Sesto elemento” car again just to make it official that they are going into production, but instead we were presented with…)

 

 

(…The Gallardo SuperTrofeo Stradale, which is the highest specified yet to come from them- very close to a racecar for the street. Rumors have it that they have done some tuning of the firing sequence on each cylinder, just to give it an even more unique sound in the exhaust. Not that a factory Gallardo is really that bad either…?)

 

 

(A rare (?) shot of the Lamborghini grid girls in a bit more casual outfits then usual, and in a very playful mood. These ladies were rightfully semi-worshipped at the expo, and several extra stops at their stall were made just to put a new smile on any tired mans face again. Martin also commented that they did take a flight home to Rome just opposite of their gate, so you normal visitors wont see them there sadly.)

 

 

(……………….!)

 

 

If thats not a treat for you to end this long week, then you got incredibly high standards! If your lucky enough, you will use this as a boost for that monday morning soon coming up as well. Gotto say just the amount of memories Lamborghinis stall gave us made the trip worth it. But then we got a dozen more almost as good stalls to report from. So, the journey has just began here in the Superior-blog.

 

Now dont forget to add us to Facebook (OUR PAGE and MARTINS as well) and if you seriously don’t want to miss out on all the ”100 secs of…” clips coming; add THIS LINK as well.

 

Been a crazy week, which no matter how many fun things we’ve endured has taken its toll on us. But a grande amount of blogging will fix all that. 🙂


VIDEO: 100 seconds of Mercedes luxury concept @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

18 september 2011, 18:11

Coming of the CADILLAC CONCEPT we did a video of, we got another impressive one from Mercedes that has ”luxury in the future” written all over it- so coming from one of the German giants it was a blockbuster indeed in FRANKFURT IAA 2011 EXPO!

I think the best line about this concept was used in the video, that even Lady Gaga would blend in and not look her usual crazy self if she sat in this car. Fun to see a brand very aiming towards more strict and ”business” sort of appeal make both this luxury concept and the A-klasse they also did so wild!

I was lucky enough to catch this beast in motion for a few seconds before I was drowned in the crowd that was present during Mercedes mega-pressrelease show, and if this is a hint of how the future might look Iam all for it– sign me up today!

This is the last video feature of the day, in total there is around 30 of them and we gather them all IN THIS POST so you can easily keep track of the action.

Hope you’ve all had a pleasant sunday, and before you go to bed- Lamborghini will give you something to dream about as Martin Persson has a gallery coming… 🙂


SELECTED GALLERY: Brittish special @ Frankfurt IAA (Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini & Lotus)!

18 september 2011, 17:30

Getting back on the wagon in showing you all the beautiful SUPERIOR SELECTED photographs we captured at FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTOR SHOW, a ”british special” with brands like Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini & Lotus to name a few!

 

Among these true gentleman of the car world we haven’t included Aston Martin, but thats because they will get a gallery of their own. But now lets just enjoy 16 splendid pictures by Martin BILBILDER.SE Persson to enjoy while you drink your old fashioned afternoon cup of earl grey tea!

 

 

(The new Lotus Evora GTE came down like a matte yellow thunderbolt and truly stood out in proud fashion with its endless amount of pornographicly hot (!?) carbon. Its not the most original conclusion to say matte is ”all the rage” right now, but picking yellow was a winning move to seperate from the rest in our opinion!)

 

 

(The most common question I got coming home was expected; ”what was the best car at the expo?”. You wont have much succes asking me this, but when it comes to the chap behind the camera of these photos- the answer is certain when it comes to one selection only… Jaguar C-X16! We did duel a bit about our first impressions since I was expecting it to be more low-key, but as the ”100 seconds of…” video will show- it won me over. Great concept!)

 

 

(The ladies in the Jaguar stand were as classy as the cars, not going to go ”Project: Runway” on ya’ll but its great to see women being… women and not just objects to showcase certain parts- often made of plastic…)

 

 

(One of the most confusing upcoming ”100 secs of…” clips will be the one with the new Mini Cooper Coupé which I could not… relate to. If you just have to make a coupé of something as firmly molded as a Mini try to make it a little bigger or wider? Or am I just being jelous of them being one of the recent years winners in being a really ”hip” brand or something? Quick mention of this being a ”John Works edition” which is a sportier pimped up sort of model. Got it?)

 

 

(One more really good one of the Lotus Evora GTE in all its glory, its a shame that the pricetag gets so damn high whenever you want to pass up to something like an Exige or something more exclusive then the base grade ones. If they are making a pitch to compete above a sort of ”gymkhana supercar” segment they’ll have to get up in size quite a lot on the cars themselves…)

 

 

(Land Rover toughened up from the other lads in this gallery, and you got two concepts from them at this expo. They are also a brand that are sort of trying to find themselves again since Range Rover is the ”younger brother in a suit” while the old school ”I can handle anything” sort of attitude isn’t enough to compete with dozens of cheaper brands that offer cars that do the same. A bit… ignorant to say, but honestly don’t have too many opinions about them. How about you?)

 

 

So thats a lot of love for the british automakers and a good mix for you to enjoy. We are taking our time here making these posts count, eventhough we are tempted to just splash them out on you all without any text. Got at least one more gallery to share with you before sunday is over, and two more ”100 seconds of…” which you can FOLLOW HERE GATHERED as well!

 

As always, dont be afraid to post a comment or two below and it would always be a good token of appreciation if you ”Liked” our Facebook pages (both OURS and photographer MARTINS!).


VIDEO: 100 seconds of the Cadillac Ciel concept @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

18 september 2011, 15:32

Expect to  be taken back in time in the best possible way with Cadillac Ciel concept which was one of the most ”genuine” design studies revealed at the FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTOR SHOW.

 

By ”genuine” I mean that it wasnt some posh attempt into pleasing everyone or trying to be something your brand is not, instead its what concepts is all about- giving some ”haute couture” of the most extreme things people relate to your brand; and also a bit of history put in it. Rating this as one of the best cars of the expo, enjoy:

We wish all automakers refused to follow trends and feel ashamed of their heritage, but maybe this is a unique case when it comes to Cadillac as a brand? We like it, bigtime…

 

Feel free to give us your own humble opinions on this Cadillac Ciel concept, and to see more “100 seconds of…” clips we got ALL OF THEM HERE (BOOKMARK!).


VIDEO: 100 seconds of Honda Civic 2012 world premiered @ Frankfurt IAA!

18 september 2011, 14:20

Here is another video world premiere from FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTOR SHOW all of us ”JDM-freaks” will find interest in; the brand new generation of the Honda Civic 2012!

 

They claim this car is ”two generations ahead” of its production cycle, but I would have to say that by looking at the exterior- its a bit too bold statement. Maybe it will live up to those words after a testdrive, but we were not too conviced by this first impression sadly…

We have no doubt about that all the different tuners in Japan vill still make this something interesting, but I guess we are still living in a world where we think about things from an enthusiasts perspective; but in reality automakers have to create cars that will sell to the general public.

 

Feel free to give us your own humble opinions on this new generation Civic, and to see more ”100 seconds of…” clips we got ALL OF THEM HERE (BOOKMARK!).

Instead of clogging up the news too much, you can use THIS POST (BOOKMARK!) continually updated with all the latest links to the other ”100 seconds of…” video-clips we did at FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTOR SHOW!

***22/9 LATEST UPDATE: New Porsche 911 and Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé added!***

Also CHECK OUR FACEBOOK (CLICK!) to get even more info anytime we release something new. Sometimes the blog is updated several times a day, so a perfect way to know when it happens although there are always spontaneous surpries as well!

We have finally counted them all in, and the final number of features Team A (Martin Persson and ”Mike”) did at this expo is around 30…! We are proud to have accomplished this, two days at this place is normally what it takes just to learn where everything is located. But we did it, and David @ SUPERIOR MEDIA has done a fine job of quickly uploading them so we can publish them for you. Here we go:

——————–

ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM COUPÉ!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Rolls Royce Phantom Coupé from Superior Media on Vimeo.

Get more VIP then ever with this world premiere, a two-door coupé of the phenomenal Phantom model. Is Johnny English going to be a better movie with this car having a lead part…?

PORSCHE 911 NEW GENERATION 991 WORLD PREMIERED!

 

 

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Porsche 911 from Superior Media on Vimeo.

Dont have much to say about this one, another generation of Porsche- and we all get older. The design though is not, and its pretty sharp; but is it growing towards an ”older” type of customer base? You decide…

ALFA ROMEO C4 CONCEPT WITH VERY HOT ITALIAN LADY!

 

 

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Alfa Romeo C4 from Superior Media on Vimeo.

We all know Alfa Romeo make beautiful cars, and we all know Frankfurt IAA is a real treat filled with beautiful women as well during the press days; but did we expect to be totally speechless about what they brought to the expo…? No, and I think it shows in the video as well.

 

DACIA DUSTER 850HP PIKES PEAK RACECAR!

 

 

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Dacia Duster Pikes Peak from Superior Media on Vimeo.

One of the positive surprises of the expo was that Dacia brought a car which could compete for the ”highest HP” award. Athough far from its stock form, the ”Duster” which is a 850HP racecar to climb mountains like Pikes Peak, was a mean sight to behold.

SAAB IS NOT OUT OF BUSINESS, OR ARE THEY…?!?

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Saab from Superior Media on Vimeo.

They were supposed to be there, but after carefully studying our little map of the expo and looking around… Well, this is just confusing and should not be taken seriously. No Victor Muller on site!

FERRARI 458 SPIDER HARDTOP WORLD PREMIERED!

 

 

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Ferrari 458 Spider from Superior Media on Vimeo.

As expected, nothing was more of a pain in the ass then to get clear acces to the worlds most (deservedly) posh brand Ferrari. Since we are going to do a special about it later this fall, we honestly didnt try harder then this; but if you are a fan of the prancing horse then check out the clip anyway!

BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GTC WORLD PREMIERED!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Bentley Continental GTC from Superior Media on Vimeo.

Another splendid convertible making its world premiere and making rich peoples lives even more difficult; ”which one should I buy?!”. Oh the poor things, well all we can say which makes logical sense is that the new GTC is one of our favourites if its all about arriving in style and cruising around!

 

ASTON MARTIN ZAGATO & ONE-77!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Aston Martin from Superior Media on Vimeo.

You know you will never ever be dissapointed looking at the perfection which is Aston Martin, but imagine seeing their brand new Italian-influenced Zagato concept and right away skipping over to their supercar the One-77? Well, thats what this clip has to offer so take a look…

MERCEDES LUXURY CONCEPT AND MAIN EVENT HEADLINER!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Mercedes Luxury Concept from Superior Media on Vimeo.

 

If you liked the almost rude in eye-catching capabilities Cadillac concept, you will equally love what the German giant Mercedes brought with them to the expo. This Luxury concept oozes of science-fiction futuristic vibes and I doubt there is anyone that could match it in being 100% fabolous- not even Lady Gaga!

CADILLAC CIEL CONCEPT!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Cadillac Ciel from Superior Media on Vimeo.

 

Another personal favourite now that we’ve had time to evaluate things, and I think the video made the concept some justice too- not going to win any awards for pure design… but as a concept and to demo what the Cadillac brand is all about; surely a winner!

HONDA CIVIC NEW GENERATION 2012!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Honda Civic from Superior Media on Vimeo.

 

A car they called ”ahead two generations” has a lot of hype to live up to, and we were not too impressed although we found some positive things to say about the front end of it. But could have been something ”more” right?

BMW M5 (F10) 2012!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of BMW M5 from Superior Media on Vimeo.

The brand new BMW M5 with its twin-turbo V8 engine did not dissapoint at all, in a way its more aggresive then ever- but still keeping us confused on how good they are still making it look so ”understated”. Check out the mental malfunction of combining Swedish with English to say ” B M W ” as well. 😉

LAMBORGHINI (AVENTADOR x2, GALLARDO SUPERTROFEO STRADALE & MORE!)

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Lamborghini from Superior Media on Vimeo.

Lamborghini was as expected quite a ”top dog” with their presence at Frankfurt, not is size; but in sheer candy for the visual sense. Make sure not to miss their special ”Lamborghini gridgirls” which this clip did capture some goodness of as well..

MERCEDES SLS AMG ROADSTER!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster from Superior Media on Vimeo.

A very anticipated car and of the ”german giants” biggest releases at the expo. A car that is firmly sold with ephasis on the ”gull-wing” doors has lost them, and some unique for Mercedes misses in 100% quality. Strange?

AUDI R8 GT SPYDER!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Audi R8 GT Spyder from Superior Media on Vimeo.

One of my favorite cars now that the expo has kind of sunk in. Made some valid points on how added carbon goodness and all the other aggresive details finally made the R8 the supercar Audi wants to promote it as. You also get to see some of he interior of the very impressive hall they had built from scratch!

TOYOTA FT-86 CONCEPT FINAL (?) VERSION!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds with Toyota FT-86 concept from Superior Media on Vimeo.

For all us big JDM-fans out there, this car had the most relevance to it as its almost being seen as a ”messiah” to rejuvinate our part of the car-world. Seeing it in person, lots of Lexus LFA but some remarks on the wheels and rear spoiler.

VIDEO: 100 seconds of Lamborghini pure sex @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

17 september 2011, 00:13

superiorsfet4I doubt there is much to tell when it comes to Lamborghini as a brand, and what you can expect such a godlike institution in sex appeal to give us at an expo as huge as the FRANKFURT IAA MOTOR SHOW 2011.

We were (of different reasons) totally starstruck by their stall here, bringing 2x Aventadors and their ”final edition” (?) of the Gallardo; called Super Trofeo Stradale. Accompanying each of these three jaw-droppers were three equally (??) stunning signorinas which had plenty of the crew talking throughout the expo… 😉

Just sit back and relex, try to catch the details in this info- and please do notice the unmistaken smile on my face as it truly is turned up a notch or five-hundred as I did say in the video as well. Lamborghini, we love you!

Got a ton of clips coming out this weekend, its time to get busier then ever and spoil you to god awful limits.

SIR_Pierres episka samling av notiser från Frankfurt IAA 2011!

16 september 2011, 23:23

SIR_PIERRE gick tillsammans med Rani ”RANISFOTO.SE” Giliana som Team B på FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTOR SHOW och nu kommer ett riktigt maffigt inlägg denna duo pusslat ihop- enjoy!

 

 

Är fortfarande inte återhämtat det minsta lilla..

Men eftersom jag redan påbörjade ett inlägg efter första dagen på mässan, Så kan jag ju fortsätta på det.

Detta är egentligen del 2 utav detta inlägget.. Första delen handlar bara om kvinnor och gudinnor.. Men den delen får bli ett eget inlägg när jag har bilder att visa er.

Så jag klistrar in det hela.. Och sen redigerar och lägger till.
Så just keep in mind.. En del är skriven en extremt trött natt efter dag 1.. Och andra delen nu när jag är hemma.

Jag kör lite klassiska notiser lite här o där för att snabbare kunna återgå till mitt dagdrömmande och återhämtande istället.

Vi började morgonen med att gå vilse…

Så för att vara en sån SUPERSTOR och känd bilmässa så kunde jag och Rani tycka att det var lite dåligt organiserat.. Vi saknade liksom den där Tyska *censur* ”strukturen”.

Vi hittade ingen garderob att hänga av våra grejer i.. Så vi fick släpa på en jävla massa väskor allt för länge.. Tills jag ringde till Micke vid 2 tiden och han förklarade att det visst fanns en garderob…..
Så min dag 1 gick mestadels ut på att hålla och vakta väskor medans Rani fick jobba för oss båda på egen hand.

Lite ”direktiv” fick han av mej dock 😉

Vi la också märke till efter 9 timmar på fötterna att det fanns hela 53st ”press-taxi” som körde runt folket på detta STORA område..

Så visst.. Det var kanske inte så illa som vi först tyckte..

Men det var RIKTIGT dåligt med toaletter.., Hittade en lite gömd precis innan vi skulle hem som först.

Likaså med papperskorgar.
Inte för att jag behövde en, Men jag la bara märke till det.
Sist jag var på en bilmässa i tyskland så fanns det överallt.. Var 5e meter.
Men på den tiden så rökte dom också inomhus dom *censur*!

Nu röktes det för det mesta utomhus… Överallt.. Men där var även nån som rökte inomhus..

* Alla tyskar röker.. Som fan.
SHIT vad dom röker!

* Tyskland har RIKTIGT dålig luft.. Såpass att jag på fullaste allvar skulle vilja ha syrgas vid ett par tillfällen.

* Dom verkar inte ha AC någonstans i Tyskland.

* Vi är fortfarande amatörer.. Väskor med hjul.. Vilket geni-drag!

Tillbaka till mässan, När vi kommer in så var det väldigt tyst och stilla.. Öde..
Vi ser SuperSUVen Eterneti.. Jaha.. Ingen hemlighet att den bygger på Porsche inte..

Går vilse lite vidare..

Efter nästan en timme så ser vi vår första hall med bilar (Ni ANAR inte hur stort detta stället är!)

Där står 2st Fisker.

EN VÄLDIGT vacker bil.. Smart. Miljövänligt.. Tänk att ett tak med solpaneler är mer lockande än ett tak i kolfiber.
Det tillkom senare en 3e modell.. Och då som först så insåg jag att det var olika modeller.. Tyvärr tog jag inte mej tiden att se skillnaderna eller inspektera dom något närmre.

Jag kan inte förstå att vi inte sett mer av denna bil..Eller att jag som numera är så miljötänkande inte har brytt mej mer om den/dom..Inte ens när jag hade chans att klämma och känna på plats..
Den måste ju vara färdig att köpa vid detta laget. Jag har för mej att DiCaprio äger en..

En liten notis jag gjorde var att dom hade dessa små detaljer där ändrören brukar sitta.

Frågan är bara.. Behövs detta verkligen? Av vi bilfolket fortfarande så kåta på ”ett fett utblås” att man gör en fejkad variant på en elbil?
Visst jag kan mycket väl hålla med om att man saknar motorljudet/avgasljudet..

Men så som vissa concept gjort att man väljer att släppa ut avgaser ifrån hybridmotorerna via baklamporna är väl hur coolt som?

Visst.. fula ändrör på en annan cool bil förstör mycket..
Men när det inte alls behövs på en elbil?

Då var det dags för vår allra första pressrealese! =)

Klockan var 9 och det var dags för Lotus att presentera nya versioner utav alla sina modeller.

Och vi varken hörde eller såg ett skit!
SÅ vi insåg rätt så snart där efter (Efter 3-4 försök till att medveka i en pressrealese) att det var bättre att göra som jag tänkt från början.
Att när alla andra är vid den monter där det presenteras nya bilar.. Ja då är vi vid en annan monter och jobbar.. Helst där det redan har presenterats nyheter.

Så den första monter/biltillverkare vi täckte ordentligt i lugn och ro var Techart.
(Eller ja lugn och ro vettifan.. Trångt med folk eftersom Lotus höll på med sin pressrealese i ryggen på oss.. Och vi kunde inte ens höra våra egna tankar. Men relativt lungt får man se det som)

Där hade dom en ännu extremare, snyggare, snabbare, lyxigare, dyrare version utav den nya 997 GT2 RS.

* Bilvärlden håller fortfarande fast vid den där med färgad ring på fälgarna alá Volk TA.

Vi jobbar vidare

* Brabus är BÄST!

På alla sätt och vis.. ALLA..
Vilken kvalité… Vilket skinn!

* Mansory var otippat rumsrena i år.
Nästan lite tråkiga montrar.. Hur det nu kan bli det med stylade månmiljonsbilar.

Jag har i många år sen jag såg den fösta Mansory stylade bilen haft stor kärlek för dessa bilar o kolfiber-uniformer.
Men på sista tiden har dom blivit lite tacky..

Men nu var kärleken tillbaka.
Alla bilarna var svart/vita (Som alla andra på hela mässan)
Matt vita och med en massa kolfiber.. Just i min smak.

Men.. Jag saknade en Aston Martin där.. Eller en Veyron..

Vi kan nu kanske ge er en riktigt tidig teaser..
Micke såg Horacio Pagani i och bakom Mansory montern..
Så… Mansory Huayra i framtiden?

* Audi hade byggt en mycket imponerande ”arena” utomhus där dom hade ALLT.

Men utanför denna ”arena” så stod förra årets konceptbilar.. Väldigt bortglömda.

Så vi kan nog glömma en ny Ur-Quattro verkar det som.

* Mercedes S-Klass ser ut som en bebis brevid en Rolls Royce.

* Årets grej på nästan ALLA bilar, Koncept eller färdiga bilar vad matt vitt eller matt svart.

* ALLA konceptbilar hade ”självmordsdörrar” alá Rolls Royce… Alla..

Sist vi såg detta på en ”vanlig” bil var på den bortglömda Mazda RX-8.

Och det var den detalj jag gillar bäst (bara) på den bilen.

* Det är väldigt många som härmar den gamla Ferrari 360 looken.
Artegra, Alfa Romeo, Lotus

* Lancia ”300C” var precis som önskat.
Bra skinn.. Gedigen känsla, Originellt med obehandlat trä.

MYCKET bättre än Chrystler 300C.

* Alla bar Rolex, TAG Heuer eller Omega.
Jag såg en bära en Oris Prodiver..
En stor tysk.. Och jag har aldrig sett den klockan live på någon annan..
DAMN vad den är stor!
Och väldigt få la märke till min PVD Lefty.. Men dom som såg den stirrade ihjäl sej.

* Italienarna hade mest Merchandise, Utan tvekan.
Dom alla sätter sitt namn och logga på ALLT!

* Det tog ett tag för oss att fatta.
Men det bjöds på en hel del.
Drinkar, Kaffe osv, Lätt mat.

Och en massa freebies som USB minnen, Pennor osv osv.

Det kostade bara ett visitkort om ens det =)
Det blev lite av en grej för mej och Rani att gå runt enbart för att plocka freebies =)
Och att döma hur snåla dom var eller inte 😉

* VW hallen hade utan tvekan mest folk.
Men så befann vi oss också i Tyskland..

* Jag gick så mycket så att jag bokstavligen slet ut 2 par helt nya strumpor.. bra sådana.
Men när jag och Rani gick runt för att leta efter en lyxbil passande nog för att vila fötterna i så såg vi ett gäng handikappade i rullstol.
Då var vi JÄVLIGT tacksamma över våra svullna, svettiga fötter ens kunde vara ömma efter ha fått gå för mycket…..

* BMW som enskilt märke hade störst monter.
Åter igen.. Tyskland..
Audi och Mercedes var också STORA! såklart.

* Nissan var inte alls på plats.
* Infiniti var dom stelaste..
Tråkig stämning.. Tråkiga montertjejer (Men en riktigt snygg).
Riktigt stela Gestapo vakter klädda helt i svart.

So.. Thats about it.. Eller vad jag orkar komma med för tillfället iallafall.
En video nu vore toppen att lägga upp ifrån våra dagar.
Men det är svårt att vara snabb och effektiv när alla kuggar i detta urverk bor sprit runt i Sverige. Och alla behövs, Även dom som inte var på plats 😉
