It’s called the ‘Brussels Auto & Moto Salon’. An extremely important fair for car salesmen, it can account for up to 35% of the whole year’s sales (which is a whopper of a number).

A naked and blood soaked Stephen was last seen scaling the outer walls of shots towers using a ladder constructed out of spit and manfur before strapping his feet to a raft made of wax-bound rats and charting a course for the Isle of Stink.
