despite it being a "no car" event, there was still plenty parking available on the surrounding roads, and the RDS main hall was letting people in at €6 a pop, there was something else on in the other hall last night, so maybe that was why.

We are going to get a mini bus up it works out around 35 each. So do not have to worry about parking

Brilliant show - the driving was just amazing.

The london taxi body on the Evo9 running gear was so damn fast - really changed my perception of performance.

Just back, it was savage. Never thought I'd say this, but the fiesta's were very impressive!

I LOVED it... after reading so many bad reports I am thinking we Irish are a hard bunch to impress. Enjoyed every minute of it.

I was avoiding hearing too much about it before hand and was so surprised with what I saw, it was just mad. The Times seemed to give it a fair enough review today..

Did Hammond roll his smart car in the football in anyone elses show? I'm interested to find out if it was planned or an genuine mistake?

He didnt roll it in the earlier show - but he did prang it a few times..

the guys that fix them up between shows definately had their work cut out...

thought the bit at the end was ridiculous, the dragon or whatever it was supposed to be.

Ah really? Thats a bit disappointing, but I was thinking that was a lot of Ferrari to go risking!

Assume the Ferrari's were 406 coupe's although that wouldn't explain the rear wheel drive. I know those 360 modena replica's are based on those cars. They really struggled to do the donuts when i was watching on Saturday.

My personal opinion of the show was fairly average.
It was entertaining as a show but i would of liked to have seen the 3 boys driving more as opposed to some stunt drivers. I did spend 100+ euro per ticket. The guys were fairly wrecked looking (hungover) from the antics the previous night.

Must second the Fiesta's i thought they looked great, was thinking i'd like to get one as a run around.

Just my 2 cents

by **ftolam13** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 6:38 pm

Fiesta's were maybe the best part

by **colm_mcm** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 7:26 pm

I'm thinking the Ferrari 360 replicas were Honda NSX based? maybe MR2?

by **jayod12b** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 8:35 pm

Say ur rite colm,
Taught the show as brillant would definitely go again,
Stunt drivers were klass especially in the fiestas looked so fast flyin round that stage

Have a video of them but not as good a quality as this one
