Essen Motorshow 2009

Allemano · November 30, 2009, 09:50:23 AM

Unfortunately I had only two hours on recent Saturday to rush through all exhibition halls. That's why I didn't pay too much attention
to specifications, designations, etc.
I was on that event for the first time as I was a 6/7 year old kid. Back then it still was named after famous Austrian driver Jochen Rindt.
His wife Nina Rindt promoted the "Jochen Rindt Show" in remembrance after Jochen Rindt's fatal accident until 1975.
Sadly this exhibition got more and more a tuning fair over the years which isn't my department at all.
In my teenage days I tried to visit the Motor Show every year, but as it started to get boring I took breaks for at least 4-5 years.
Recently they focused a little more on classic cars and concept studies. Something I really appreciate!

Great stuff. Sweet bike.

It seems the global crisis brand some new stuff in an otherwise tuning dominated event. Nice to see classics and concepts, but I've read elsewere the show is suffering from few visitors and a lot of spaces not sold, as many others this year.

I'm still inexplicably attracted by the Brabus Bullit though

You're right, the biggest hall (hall3) wasn't even open for the public.
And as you've mentioned I was wondering that it wasn't that crowded which is unusual for a Saturday afternoon (though it was rainy and cold outside)

strange... I only can see parts of the first post. It ends with 'Smokin Shutdown' and lots of empty space is following
Watching it with Google Chrome or Opera instead of Firefox I can see the entire topic.

Ultra · November 30, 2009, 10:01:55 PM

Firefox does that to me too. Has for over a year now.

The gullwing is pretty cool, but that tractor is what I'm hankering for.

Great photography! Congratulations!!!

Would you be willing to share a selected 20 of those photos for a spread on Examiner.com? It would link back to the full post on AP and make you famous. For at least 15 minutes!

Faksta will tell you it has changed his life. Since he was featured on Examiner.com (and will be again), he is besieged by beautiful women begging to bear his children.

Allemano · December 02, 2009, 08:53:06 AM

No problem if you pay the alimonies..

Do you need the original pics?

Allemano · December 10, 2009, 08:21:16 AM

obviously that issue has been resolved itself.
