I was meant to be playing golf at the weekend up until last Monday, but they were doing a tournament in the end , and I’m not good enough for that . Monday morning I was watching all the reveals from the Paris show thinking actually this looks pretty good. I think we all thought motor shows were dead. I jokingly then looked at flights , and thanks to Ryanair, you could get the outbound for £22 with 5 days notice . Ok it was in to Beauvais, but it was only 1 hour in to Paris on the coach. So I booked and here’s the pictures. Sorry about the order, they only post in the order I took them.
A couple of thoughts:
-It was almost unbearably busy at times .
- There was plenty of generic electric Chinese stuff there , but there was also a lot of new interesting stuff and some classics
- Audis built quality is almost comically bad in places. The aforementioned Chinese stuff above… some of it was actually better quality than Audis in places . They have also made a right mess of the screens. The bigger one is curved and the only was I can describe it is it looks like someone has stuck a skateboard on its side and plonked it on. Then they’ve fitted a smaller one for the passenger which is a totally different size and shape; it looks completely odd
- I much prefer the Renault 5 to the alpine. The alpine is too fussy
- the Alfa is just stunning from almost every angle
