Default MPH Show Earls Court

Well, I got two of the free tickets via the txt link someone posted on here a while a go so today the wife and pootled on to EC to see what it was all about...

The whole experience was "average" to say the least...yes, the cars on display were real drool material and some of the stunt show was good as well. But I am glad that it only cost me a train ticket and a text message or two. I dont think that I would spend money next year to go back.

Lots of boy-racer chavvy types and old men looking for their next ferrari or porsche but not much else...not even the obligatory pretty girls(except for the 7ft blonde at the santa pod stand)


Anyone else go? What did you think?
