Well I made it back from The show without breaking any more ribs..!
I went to the last Geneva show 2 years ago as it's a bi-annual show with Framkfurt. That was my first and last visit, after the madding crowd that was there I said I wouldnt bother this year.
But memories fade after 2 years so I subjected myself to it again today and if the last show was packed, this one was Uber packed..!
I thought we were still in the midst of a recession but you would never know if you had been there today.
It was packed to the point were it took the enjoyment out of it and trying to take pics was really difficult but still managed to get loads.
The problem with Geneva is it so accessable from any where in Europe and as its so central you can take a morning flight from just about anywhere in Europe 2 hours tops, walk across the road from the airport to the show then fly back home that night. its well set up with car parks an ferry buses to and from the show running continuously, The car manufacturers know all that and thats why its the top European show. but I really dont think I would go again (defo this time)
I was gonna try Frankfurt last year but couldnt find the time but I may see If I can do it next year, it may be easier than Geneva.
So heres Buckaroos top tips for anyone ever thinking of going to Geneva Auto Salon.:
1. Go on a weekday as it must be less packed.
2. make sure you buy your ticket on line (thankfully I did) because if you try to pay at the show you will lose the will to live.
3. get to the show as soon as the doors open at 9:00am, grab a copy of the floorplan as you go in and head straight for the supercars first and take your piccys, leave it till 11:00am and you will be crushed in the madding crowd and stand no chance.
4. there is no No 4.
5. travel light with just a small man bag, dont be a **** and wear a rucksack or you may end up with a black eye.
6. stay at home.
Just uploading the pics so will start posting later
