The volvo exhibitions at the expo were interactive, loud and busy but wasn't all in one place. It was scattered throughout the waterfront on several quays. There cars and trucks and buses and earth moving equipment amongst many other. But the cars were the most exiting. Not to mention the skippers sailing simulation. if never seen so many people crash yachts in my entire life.
