Essen Motor Show 2010


Last Saturday, I went to the Essen Motor Show. This is Europe version of SEMA minus the Las Vegas show girls. lol The tuning show is always interesting. Kind of one part tuned cars, one part old cars and one part flea market.

The show runs until this Sunday in case anyone wants to go. I would suggest to drive up the night before(like I did) and see the show all fresh. Because you will walk your butt off there! The Messe (convention center) uses all twelve halls – so you will spend all day there. What I like about the shows at Essen is that there is always something for everyone here. In every corner you find something cool to drool over!

Ok, onto my photos…


Enjoy!
