| St Austell-based First Stop dealership Steve Andrews Tyres teamed up with network partner Bridgestone UK to sponsor the Racing Green exhibit, which was the centrepiece of a new show promoting environmentally-friendly automotive technology. |

|
|
| Visitors to the Sexy Green Car Show were also able to view the latest developments in bio-fuels and recyclable car materials. |

| Steve Andrews said: “The Racing Green exhibit works the mind and the body, because as well as concentrating as on keeping your car on the track, riding the bike is a great way to burn a few calories.” |

|
|
| Other features at the Steve Andrews Tyres and Bridgestone-sponsored exhibit included exclusive Formula One memorabilia and merchandise. Steve was also distributing notepads with covers made from recycled tyres. |
