This year I was lucky enough to go along to Big Boys Toys with my friend for free! However we did end up going later in the day on the last day of the event. I would recommend going on Saturday as it will be the main day where everything happens even if the crowds are bigger you will see and enjoy more.
We did see many of the cars and the outdoor performances for example the stunt cars, BMX, dirt bikes, wake boarding, drifting and burnouts but missed some of the other fun events that were going on during the weekend.
I did miss out on the fitness area of the exhibition too which was a shame. However I do think it strange that having an event advertised, ticketed and scheduled to finish at 6 pm and yet the exhibitors are packing up at 5 or 5:30 pm a little unfair to the crowds that came to see what was going on. My criticism being that I don't know anywhere else in the world where the exhibitors walk out the gates before the visitors do.
However what we did see was good. There were lots of "Big Boys Toys" including such things as boats, BBQ's, computers, paintball or air-soft guns etc. I didn't see any camera's though.... maybe New Zealand isn't as big a camera culture as other nations but I did expect to see Canon or Nikon there. Other countries have their own camera exhibition weekend! But I digress and am on a rant now.
Here are some of the pictures captured during the day and some YouTube videos of the performances and a full picture slideshow:
Last weekend I did go and see the IPW wrestling and the drift cars so I will be bringing you an update about those events soon!
Well until next week have a great week and pleasant weekend!
