I have been fortunate to attend the SEMA show for the last six years on behalf of M7 and this was the first time I was able to have the time to take a lot of pictures. I thought that maybe for those of you that are unable to attend the show you might find them interesting . The SEMA show is the ultimate candy store for the gear head with high performance parts for ALL types of vehicles . Hopefully my snap shots will give you some idea of how varied it is. It was tough trying to take shots amongst the crowds so please bare with me. I have close to 500 pics and will post them in groups as time permits.

So you have a carrerra GT and you live in So Cal and they are on every street corner , how are you going to stand out in the crowd? Well you could send it over to Gemballa for a little makeover We were up close and personal with one of these in Germany this summer and it is nothing short of amazing. This orange isn't bad but I personally liked the red one we saw better.

You really should come out on Friday for the SOW. I think there is a standing invitation.

 

Thanks for the offer but due to the lovely writers strike I have about 3 more days of work until its over and one of them is Friday. On the plus side I will have lots of time for Mini related activities over the next few months . It is good to see some new faces coming out to the track. Where you been the last 5 years ?
