Belfast Motor Show 2014, Kings Hall

Nothing wrong with venue. Just back and content is woeful.

Car looked great @Artoir didn't see you around to say hello tho

Anyone else see the hype of this Noble? Maybe just me but I cant personally and they seem to be focusing so much attention on it to pull tje crowds in.

Loved the orange one but it was a bit dark for the blue one indoors and its cordoned off.

Saying all that my son loved the bouncy castle and big slide

Its simply because they could not get anything else.

The Noble is a wonderful car and its truly a fantastic company headed up by staff who have a real interest in automotive engineering. Of course it won't float everyones boat but hey,that is the whole point really.

Lighting would not have helped the blue one Pabs, the paint is applied very thinly on that car and you can actually see the carbon weave under 'real' lighting. Its very nice.

I had a free ticket and I'm still raging I wasted the time going up when I could have stayed in the house and had a big w*nk

I was heading to footy training at the dub around lunch when I heard this was on, came off the motorway @balmoral thinking "**** sake traffic inbound" , Thank you belfast motor show for being awful and me cruising up to training no hassle

had a look on their facebook page, it's basically a stream of messages like this one

Travelled an hour and a half on my only day of work this week to the motor show and what a complete let down it was. No cars, no bikes no nothing just bouncy castles and food stalls. Would have been better sitting in the car park looking round us than walking through that nonsense! Biggest waste of money and of a day!! ‪#‎REFUND

sounds like it was pretty shambolic

 

[Darren91]

Sounds like it'll be a waste of time and diesel coming from Ballymoney to go to this!

Currently being deafened by some dodgy cabaret! Avoid.....

 

[Ant]

tbh their facebook page appears to be more entertaining than the show itself, angry people demanding refunds

 

[Storm]

So pretty much as we all predicted... It wasn't a motor show, but a car show... And not a very good one by all accounts.

Such a shame the organisers couldn't have been a bit more honest and transparent about the whole thing instead of just trying to make a quick buck trading off the good name of the Ulster motor show.

It's most likely killed off any possibility of the real motor show ever making a proper comeback as it's had its name and reputation sullied by this bunch of money grubbing half wits.

 

[Woodcutter]

Now i understand why they gave away so many tickets!

 

[hippyross]

Grabbing a cupa and heading to their Facebook page lol

 

[Coog]

Tried to be positive about it but failing to embrace the local motoring enthusiast clubs was a mistake. Could have been great. Shame.

Any more pics?

My real concern also but think it will be ok actually.

Show everyone knew was going to be **** turned out ****, shock horror.

They could've made something big if they got major dealerships involved, will be hard to recover the bad rep if they do it again next year I'd imagine.

 

[Artoir]

They gave 200 to one car club, that should give you an idea of how bad things were..

Will add my thoughts in a bit, but will leave you with this in the meantime. These were collected in the area between my car and the white Impreza next to me. The entire gravel area was as bad. The same gravel area all show entries were directed to drive across and park on.

 

[Lappintyre]

Pathetic.....

anything decent to take pictures of lol?

Their FB page makes for interesting reading alright

 

[chris_b]

According to posts on their FB page they are giving out refunds to some. Sounds like a total Clusterfu@k

 

[hippyross]

Sounds like false advertising
