  • Scratch one off the bucket list

    Last week I got to experience one of the most awesome car crazy events on the planet - SEMA. Getting there was the hardest part - a 15 hour flight from Johannesburg to New York, followed in short succession by a 5 hour flight from New York to Las Vegas. A long haul, but the hours spent in cattle class quickly faded as they were replaced with hours enjoying the sights of SEMA and AAPEX. Despite walking for 7+ hours per day for several days, we didn't manage to get through all that was on offer at the two venues. Thank you to Meguiars and Keizin (the South African distributor of Meguiars products) for providing me with an opportunity of a lifetime. Arriving a few days before the show also allowed me time to take in the sights and sounds of Las Vegas. The fact that I was in town over the Halloween weekend made the experience even more special.

    Mike has posted a number of photos from the show and I don't want to duplicate the effort. However, here are a few photos that I enjoyed:

    Wraptivo is fun and easy in all sizes


    X-Box on the go


    The old


    And the new


    Awesome artwork on the cars


    Crazy rides



    Life size Hot Wheels


    Amazing Hot Rods



    Meeting some legends of the detailing world



    Not a detailing legend, but still one of my favorite characters from American Chopper


    And finally - this photo was the one that for me captured the variety on offer at SEMA

      Great pictures and write up. Thanks for sharing!

      Maybe one day, someone will sponsor me to go to SEMA

      I own a silver vehicle and a black vehicle owns me. The black one demands attention, washing, detailing, waxing and an occasional dinner out at a nice restaurant. The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.
