The weekend of the 25-26th February 2006 saw the third annual Xtreme Wheels International show take place at London's Alexandra Palace. Once again, Carter Motorsport were proud to have been invited back to take pride of place in the Great Hall with our B&Q backed dragster. The 'Ultimate Power Tool', our 7,000bhp rail was on display, along with our full truck and trailer and merchandise stand.

By the time I arrived on Saturday morning, the show was in full swing. The aisles were full of visitors, keen to get up close to the fantastic collection of vehicles on display. The thing that sets this show apart from others, is the shear diversity of machinery on view. Whether you're into Hot Hatches, Dragsters, Hot Rods or Bikes, there really is something for everyone!

From a personal point of view, it was amazing to see the new 'Havoc' altered. This car really is the most incredibly detailed piece of kit and I hope, is the start of a new racing trend!

Throughout the show, we were kept very busy talking to fans, other exhibitors and the gathered press. It was great to meet Grant Wilson, the new editor of Customer Car Magazine and features editor Mike Pye. We are really looking forward to forming a great relationship with these guys as the magazine has always been a great support to our team. Andy was in constant demand for autographs and interviews (as well as many of the 'Super Crew'!) and did a great job informing the public of what it's really like to drive the B&Q Power Tools Car.

We would also like to thank our sponsors for their support at the show. Our guests included B&Q, Pioneer Print, Wynn's, Mike Shorer Fine Jewellery and BMRS Hoses.

By the close of play on Sunday, it was clear to see that the show had definitely seen numbers increase once again and had been a very worth while outing.

We would like to thank Terry and Tina Gibbs for having us back and look forward to Xtreme Wheels 2007!
