No official GM presence at all this year though, sadly - either from Vauxhall or Chevrolet... which is surprising considering Chevrolet have a new Corvette to show off! The 2014 Corvette was one of the cars I was expecting to see, as Chevrolet had a massive display at the event last year. Missed opportunity, GM!

I think i actually like them all. Also one of my friends (who is 19 btw). Got to drive a Tesla Model S that his gaurdians boss owns. He said it's the weirdest thin when you put your foot down cause there is no change in sound but your going 100 like that.

2000 SSEi R.I.P. Dead now :( INTENSE FWI, polished LIM, P&P supercharger, custom radiator, standalone trans cooler, trans-go shift kit (donating to the 88)

2002 2500HD Silverado with the 8.1 Vortec and Alison tranny. Likes to eat GT Mustangs and lots of tires, and all while stock!

Those Tesla are sweet looking cars.

I love that 63 Galaxie too! Reminds me of helping build my dad's 63 Galaxie 500XL Andy Griffith squad car replica as a child.

Believe it or not that '63 Galaxie is a veteran of the British Touring Car Championship in the '60s, where it was very successfully raced on challenging circuits against cars as varied as Jaguar Mk2s, Mini Coopers, and Alfa Romeos.
