2024 Autofest, Omagh, Sunday 15th September 2024 :

Autofest returned to Omagh for the 9th Edition of the extremely popular show on Sunday 15th September 2024.

This year’s event was run in support of Omagh Gateway Club.

With hundreds of cars on display at the Omagh Showgrounds, the selection and quality on display was exceptional. With every genre of vehicle catered for, including a small selection of motorcycles and trucks and to a massive display of cars covering all varieties and a good selection of Owner’s Clubs all displaying some meticulously turned out vehicles.

It is a show really worth a visit, that was certainly made all the more pleasant with the sunshine making a rare appearance for this year in Northern Ireland.

A full gallery of the vehicles on display is available on the TBNI.Blog Facebook Page. Feel free to like, share and tag away at the gallery.

2023 Northern Ireland Motorcycle PLUS Show Review :

Saturday 4th February and Sunday 5th February 2023 saw the return of a motorcycle show to Northern Ireland, the first in the Eikon Centre since 2019, and represents the start of the year’s motorcycling season.

Expectations were big and the Northern Ireland Motorcycle PLUS Show had had a reasonable footprint on social media on the run up to the show, promising a ‘star studded line up and ‘big name dealers’…

An extract from the official web page showcasing the key selling points of the show; — 2023 Northern Ireland Motorcycle PLUS Show Review

Unfortunately the expectations did not meet reality, and it pains me to say that.

Extreme Stunt Show Gallery – Sunday 10th June 2012

February 11, 2024July 1, 2012 by TomBoyNI

Well the Extreme Stunt Show has left Northern IReland after a flat out tour of the Country. So I think it is safe enough for me to put the picks up now, without the chances of spoiling it for anyone.

If however you are in Europe elsewhere and the show hasn’t reached you, you may want to look away now…

Coming Soon – Extreme Stunt Show Gallery

February 11, 2024June 13, 2012 by TomBoyNI

If you live in Northern Ireland you have without a doubt seen the posters up in every town across the country for this ‘Extreme Stunt Show.’ I was really dubious about how a stunt show could be mobile and good, I had a vision of a poor circus, with people who couldn’t give a ^*&?> about the show, and well it’s mobile so how can it be any good. Regardless I went to the Extreme Stunt Show more out of curiosity to see how bad it could be.

And I am happy to say I was WRONG! This is a great day, with really skilled guys doing really crazy things! If you get the chance to go, do so and you’ll enjoy it. I mean skilled and crazy, and that’s a damn good combination!

I have a full Gallery to share in relation to this and a video! WOO HOO! Yes indeed a video! Now it is my first attempt at a video so don’t expect too much, but it is just a taster.

Finally there is a good chance these guys will have left Northern Ireland by the time the Gallery and video are up, so once again if you get the chance to go check them out, do it, and then come back here to remember it!

Oh and as you will see I got a glorious sunny day, actually got a little burnt, but with the crazy ass weather we are getting at the moment, keep you fingers crossed for a nice day, as with any outdoor event I can imagine the rain could really put a dampener on things!

Oh and if you are not in Northern Ireland I believe these guys are touring Europe all summer long!

Full Gallery and Video COMING SOON!
