gently caress the special, I just bought my ticket to the greatest show on Earth :)



I'm all giddy with excitement!

I went to this in London in November, it was a bit disappointing really. You've got about an hour or so of track action (the Group B rally cars were awesome), then had to sit about for 5 hours where the only thing you could do was go to the exhibition stall and browse lots of automotive companies selling stuff, then the arena show which lasts about an hour which was entertaining enough.

Their motorised stage was quite cool though:

I would have thought the thing the Indians would have arced up about was the use of Bombay instead of its real name Mumbai. That really surprised me as that is a very touchy issue to the residents of said city as to a great many it brings back memory of the British occupation and all the unplesantness that bought with it. Everything else was frankly barely minor and just silly.

Not really sure what Clarkson or the BBC were thinking with that one

I know at least a dozen people from Mumbai, they all call it Bombay.
