Dublin Motor Show. What a joke!!

citroenfan · 2006-12-04 22:30:46

anyone else disgusted with the Dublin Motor Show? How could I have been swindled out of €12 to see about 5 main dealers? Paris Motor Show- a proper Motor Show - cost the same.

I didn't go because I've been dissapointed before, kinda don't expect much. I've been to the NEC classic show a few times and if that's anything to go by the british car show would be worth the visit.Despite the prices we pay for motor's I guess we just don't register with manufactorers, they obviously don't sell the volume over here to merit showing the odd concept.

Hi,

I heard that the Dublin show was rubbish from friends, I however was at the car show in Essen, it was excellent the first of eight halss is the size of the RDS. Only drawbcak was that I got stuck in germany for two extra days due to the storm.
