Here's my pics from autosport yesterday. Had a good, if tiring day.

Didn't get a photo of the PPC stand but I did have a look round it while my mate took a subscription out. He got a right load of free stuff with it! Now he can stop nicking my copy.

All the pics can be found here:

Here's a selection of random ones:

I suppose it's unlikely that there are any Daytona owners on here to wind up, and there's probably some SD1 owners who'd be pleased to hear it, but there's definitely a resemblance[:D]

700bhp in something that weighs a few hundred kilos (i have no idea how much bikes weigh) you'd have to be crazy to ride that at full whack

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
