My father-in-law and I took Nicholas to the Brisbane Motor Show today. What a great day out! He absolutely loved it. We rode the bus to get there, and he loves bus rides, but when we got inside and onto the show floor he was speechless!
He loved the Lamborghinis, was in awe of the Audis, thought the Ferraris were fine, and took a liking to the Lotus. He also thought the Nissans were neat, and took a shine to the Subarus! While at Holden, he couldn’t take his eyes off the HSV Grange. He climbed in a few cars, ran his hand along a few more, and even sat on a couple of scooters — I think he liked the Yamaha Majesty best! 🙂
Pop and Nicholas sat in a Peugeot 407 Coupe and were both impressed (even though Nicholas said the radio was “a bit noisy” when Pop turned it on!). His eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw the Hummer H3, but it was on a tiny little stand that was way too crowded and he couldn’t get away from it fast enough.
There were a couple of Corvette Z06s there as well, and while Nicholas didn’t think too much of the car, he was glued to the screen showing video of the car being put through its paces by the presenters of such TV shows as Top Gear.
By lunchtime, we were all totally worn out. Nicholas fell asleep on my shoulder as we were getting ready to leave the floor. As worn out as I got though, I can’t wait to take him back next year!
