Yeah I heard it on the radio on my way home tonight, the car industry is a tuff place to be at the moment, lets hope the economy picks up towards the end of the year

It's a real shame. And with the Olympics in 2012, we may not get it for a long time.

Mind you, although the last Excel show was good, it would have been alot better if Audi, BMW etc etc had been there. In fact it was an insult. Shame on them!

There was a rumour that because Chinas Bejing Olympics could never be bettered
UK was trying to see the next 2012 London as a rebulding Olympics after a great recession
So that no one would expect too much or be disapointed
