Ah peloton, im disapointed, :nono: :screwy: :grinyes: i thought you'd be there like a shot.Aren't you fairly close (in U.S terms) to Vegas?

It's only a 4 hour drive from here, but SEMA isn't a show where anyone can just go up to the door, pay a small fee, and walk right in. It's an industry trade show and they have clamped down heavily in recent years in an effort to keep the general public, or those who don't have real "business" being there, out of the show. It's still possible to get in, but I would have needed to be on the list a while ago through the contacts I have.

I thought it was free if you registered in advance, but you could still pay 50 bucks at the door on the day(s) of the show and get in ??

The cars under the covers...I am guessing one's an Enzo, adn the other is a Veyron. Any pics with the covers off? I can't be bothered to click through all that SUV/Magnum/bling bling crap. :D

I'll make a call tomorrow and see what I can find out.

This will sound odd coming from me, but I'd actually be more excited to see the Pagani and the Koenigsegg in the display since I have never seen either of those cars.

I just got back from a 2-day tour of the show and I have a lot of shots of this car (of course). Including some detail shots of the interior.

Amazing that at an industry trade show not many people knew anything about the car (including Michelin's PR staff apparently).

That's right. And a Pagani behind the F1 and then a RUF. I'm sure you know the rest.

I think the F1 had bigger crowds around it than the Bugatti and certainly the Koenigsegg.

I didn't really take any other pictures of cars (or girls). I figured there was going to be enough on the web and I had lots of other things to do anyway.

You are absolutely correct, Drew. Thank you for concentrating on the McLaren! Excellent pics as always!

Excellent photos Drew. Thanks for offering up the originals too.

Still kicking myself for not going. I heard last night that there is an FXX on display at the Wynn Ferrari dealer and Exotic Cars at Ceasers still has the Pagani Zonda Monza so it would have been a great trip all the way around. :banghead:

The detailing in the interior is just ace - a job well done - i didn't realise it was so intricate in there

Thanks for the compliments!

There is one thing so far that has stumped me and it's in this photo:

http://douging.smugmug.com/photos/107618272-M.jpg

My angle wasn't very good to see what was around the label. Is this an instruction for pushing the start button? I assume the owner of the car would know how to do this so it only makes sense that this is for the lucky nitwit who gets to set the car up for display.

I do believe its for the intercom operation. (I may be wrong though)

"Mr Bridger" may be able to help out on this one!!

Well since there are many pics of it in the show I won't bother posting anymore. But I saw it outside loaded into a large trailer that said "Supercars of America" with florida plates. The Veyron was also in this trailer. Pic/Vid, nothing exciting but whatever
