Smile Melbourne Motor Show 2008
So who here on the forums is going to the Melbourne Motor Show, hopefully to see the unveiling of the Orion Falcon?

I will be attending.

Cheers,

I am coming across from Perth for teh GP and brought my arrival forward so I could go to the show. I was there a few years ago and it was great...much better than the overpriced, under-representd excuse for a motor show we get in Perth.
