I was there as well... didn't go mad with the pics, but will upload some in to the gallery later.
Zonda was dribble-tastic.

Were you there in the Exige? I spotted a Type 72 parked up next to the exit road.. looking rather 8)
We took the little Abarth, but were parked in the normal parking area rather than on the Abarth section (as I wasn't getting out my bed at silly o'clock to get a space in the exhibition).

Yup that was us! Had to laugh as the "sports" cars got to go straight ahead but the "normal cars" were directed to park over to the left! Clearly the man on the gate had no idea that a Lotus wasn't Italian! He was too busy munching his lunch when we drove in to ask otherwise!

Popped along for a look late afternoon, unfortunately by that stage most people seemed to be leaving. Still, got to drool over the Enzo, 430 Scuderia and various other tasty bits of Italian machinery (the Fiat 500s were cool too!). Spotted Mass just as he was leaving, and also VXJon's bike (next to Lazydonkey's?).

Not a bad afternoon out :)
