Afterthoughts on the Belfast Motor Show 2014 at Kings Hall

Is there a Dublin/ROI Motor Show?

If there isn't then a new show could be sold to manufacturers/dealers as an all island show, it would greatly increase your potential market. 6.3 million people rather than 1.8 million.

 

[pablo]

you would most def have it in Dublin then.

 

[Rocko]

RDS used to have a motor show did it not?

 

[davecoupe]

Those of you thinking about doing something try to contact Top Gear.

If they could be got on board, having the Top Gear live show here (even if it was in the Oddessy on the same weekend as the show), would be a sure winner.

 

[Rocko]

After speaking to someone last night, I have complete confidence in this being organised to the highest standard.

 

[O.C.D]

 

[Rocko]

Not my place, I'll let the person say if they want to.

But they know what they're doing and have the contacts to do it.

It's George, isn't it.

I heard that Big Blue Winky is involved

Lol!

I stumbled upon his Instagram recently...again lol!!

Koenigsegg seem to be very big on PR, if I were the organisers, I'd be giving Christian a call/email.

I know it might seem like reaching above your/N.I.'s station but they've done big things for similar organisations so it wouldn't hurt to ask. Even if they arranged with their UK dealer to send 1 car over with a pile of brochures, it would be something huge for the show.

But, to keep this thread on topic so it doesn't get locked... Has anyone had any luck getting refunds yet?

Someone on the BMS Disaster page said they got one from Living Social.

Is it just me or has the disaster page disappeared now too?

You're not wrong!

 

[TAZ6416]

It has, I wonder if Ms Mann lodged a complaint with Facebook and got it taken down. A friend of hers appeared on it last night so I guess she's aware of it.

Disaster page has returned. Seems some people got refunds, some haven't and trading standards are involved.

I heard that Big Blue Winky is involved

slightly off topic but was he ever actually proved to be a spoofer ??

I would like to know this too as I seen his lambo in the flesh which pretty impressive if it was all a ruse.

 

[Coog]

Was all true, now BTT please.

Just dawned on me this morning that surely the best way to get a proper show is not to try and do it ourselves with a few people who think they know the right people etc etc, but use an already established platform.

Has anyone considered seeing if Chris Evans would like to bring his Carfest to Northern Ireland, that seems like a proper family packed show and how it should be done?

 

[conor62]

Does anyone know who owned or brought the amg safety car? Would like to get in contact with him... also was there a stig at the Belfast motor show? I was to busy spending my entry fee on a pint...

 

[chris_b]

Whoever thought that was actually an AMG safety car is more deluded than even my brain could muster !!!!

 

[swansty]

It's mentioned somewhere that it was owned by the same fella who owns stoneyford concrete. It also had one of their stickers on it
