Popped into AutoSalon yesterday to see what was on show this year. The show was definitely down on cars but that could have been expected considering this year's show was 1 month early and was only 2 weeks after the AGP show.

There were some pretty cool expressions of creativity on show but what I did notice was in the influx of Euros and SUVs on show. Also, the new presence of motorbikes made for a new addition. There were some very fine examples of hot bikes on show including a blinged out GSX-R 1000 and a Ducatti 999 which was secks on 2 wheels.

SAU had a lone exhibitor there but I didn't recognise the car but the stand was pretty neat and the car looked nice.

Autosalon managed to get the Alpine Mini out from the US as well as the TRD Circuit Supra. Another nice car on display was the AutoSalon built Drift S15 in a nice mirror finish paint job.

The dyno didn't have much to offer as far as I could tell with the highest power reading being 211awkw from a WRX produced by S21 Performance.

what about the 599rwkw GTS or the 740rwkw supra?

That was around 3 Oclock.

I went down and took heaps of pics i will post them up soon. Going back today

I think he's talking about the GTS holden thingo? There was some 6 litre with a turbo or two pulling around about 600rwkw at about 4ish yesterday

Anyways show was crap!!! not 1 r32 gtr, no gtr 34's , plenty of 33's and only 3 32's. THere was a few older cars that were fair decent, and they had that quad rotor twin turbo bmw, but nothing amazing, and not enough cars! Plenty of hot chicks though. Hottest was on the Polizia ferrari for sure. Not many small venders either, was more last year

just got back. some very nice cars and some not so nice. same with the ladies present.

i do have a question though. is it really cheaper to buy things like audio equipment at autosalon? cos jb-hifi were selling the pioneer deh6850 for $320. the dude said usually they r $430 but i decided not to take the chance he was jacking up the price and giving me a "discount". was i wrong?

anyways here are my pics. as you can probably tell i dont have very steady hands. oh well. someone else is bound to have better pics.

I found the whole thing average at best, prob cause i missed the dyno comp. But also not many cars i liked. I thought the best car was the blown and gassed white M3, simply stunning. IMO best nissan was the blue s14.5 on the motorware stand. RC drift cars were cool too. Also the young gentleman of middle eastern apperance doing a "wogalicious" version of Fergie's ferglicious on the main stage was hilarious, even more so because I think he was serious!

all the big guns and car audio supplier stands should be at semi finals...

heard of a few sick cars that werent finished in time for melb but worth seeing later in the year...

also the car audio distributers seemed to give it a miss due to rediculous costs for doing displays but will still do semi's though

My browser crash after I'd uploaded all the photos and I really CBFed doing it again coz it took so long. This forum needs a bulk upload thingy so we put a whole lot up at the same time.

I didn't see anything make over 211awkw and I was there from 1-5 so I must have missed something. I admittedly was up the back behind the dyno talking to people though.

I had my stand there and saw Paul and Mav down there.

I had a good weekend with my other club.

Was a ghey show though...lucky the after show activites were great.

~760rkwk won the dyno, same Supra as last year. A holden got 695 or something which was ok. And Bennys 180 got a new record with 500 and something. it was like 230kw / ltr.
