The German,

Thanks for the pics man, awesome cars. Kleemann is taking a turn for the better and designing new kits and their new wheels look pretty cool. That MAE rim on the SL 55 is pretty nice looking as well. BTW any pics of BMW 7-series?

litle story

The Kleemann guys are good fighters, too. One of the salesmen (obviously bodybuilder) got a short infight with an uninvited guest, who did not left their area. But 3 hits with the fist on the guests nose solved this problem.

Would be nice, but the two shows have a different purpose. SEMA is meant for OEM/wholesalers, Essen is for the consumer.

Special Equipment Market Assoc. I think it is for the same purpose. Brabus was at SEMA, just not with the same cars. I understand that Consumers (the end user) is not welcome at SEMA, but the same kind of stuff iS displayed. APEX and SEMA OEM are not of the same nature, but the big Vegas show sure did seem to be. I was just saying that it would be cool to have those lines here, with the newest stuff, on display at SEMA.

On the window you can see a reflection of "The other German" on the right (BMW guy) and me (the one with the good taste) on the left. The picture should show a map of Nürburgring Nordschleife on the inner door of an Honda S2000 hardtop racecar.
