In terms of business, I would say Sunday > Good Friday > Saturday > Thursday > Wednesday night preview

Being Easter weekend, I'm surprise they didn't take advantage of extending it to Monday.

Went today, pretty decent show, worth the price for sure. Personal favs were - mc12, f40 & f50, red SV, Rat rods were pretty sick. I have to say Marcel's Supra is f***ing sick, best one I've seen irl anyway. Oh, and thanks to whoever drove that red lp580 from the show - that rev was just what I needed ) car is LOUD

for those wondering, m2 was locked, but I asked a spokesperson and they said they're getting the key so they might be opening it to people who ask in later days

^^ i watched a steady stream of people yank on the M2 door handle. They should have marked it locked. Pretty dumb to have it sitting beside half a dozen other unlocked M cars - all worth more money and leave this locked.

Decent show this year - pretty cool to see the 4 "super" Ferrari's lined up together. NSX is dope AF too. Focus RS "prototype" is there. Locked too, but at least you can get close to it.. Always too many pushy people though - and you've got to love the guys that think they can take a better picture with their iphone than they can find all over the internet.

I go every year because it's tradition, but if you're going to see supercars, just hit the Porsche langley and Weissach C&C's. Way more to see, and even better - hear.

My thoughts totally about the Toyota, such an amazing car somewhere that no one will see it. The people who did just walked on by. So sad. I spent a good solid 10 minutes or so with it. Awesome car!

Good auto show people, go check it out today before it gets really busy!

There were none during the press tour... they were still getting the floor ready for the general public while the press tour was going on.

Went with a friend this morning, used the discount code given a few days ago and skipped the line. Got to see the Laferrari, F40, Enzo (a lot bigger than I expected) and the rat rods. Pretty good show despite not a lot of free stuff like last year (maybe because it is the second day of the show). The BMW i8 is pretty difficult to get in and out of.

Why did they hide the 2000gt, Trueno and the Supra behind everything?

If you're really sad about the 2000GT it's in the Richmond Openroad Toyota's showroom every day towards the service area.
