Default a stand at Autosport International 2008

There was a small stand at ASI that was selling PC chairs in the style of bucket seats with branding on them, like SWRT logo, Honda logo. I know you could the seat with a branded logo on it, but the seats I am interested in.

I know its a long shot, but does anyone know the name of the company?

Cheers

Darren

It was In-Excess direct, The chairs come from China flat packed and are bolted together in the UK. They don't currently have authorisation to use the Subaru logos.

Very true and thanks for letting me know. I think we need to have a little chat with our unknown friends at In-Excess...

Cheers

In trouble - no, I went gentle on them, and even though they were at pains to point out they were not selling the chairs, the use of the logo was still unauthorised. However, they are not in touch with the merchandising department to see what the outcome could be.

As for the chairs, apparently they were by far the most popular at the show, and thus they believe they could have sold loads of them!

We shall see....

Was that the tall blonde girl by any chance?

Did anyone rate the Pistonheads show?

The tall blonde girl yes

The pistonheads show was not really my cup of tea but there were some nice cars on display and it was interesting to see all the mitsi evos from version 1 to 9 including a version 9 estate.

Those seats look a bit barry boy, looks like they were ripped from a max power corsa. Better with a recaro touring car seat with those big wings that come around your head. At least that way you can pick your nose and eat it in the office, in privacy.
