How’s this for injustice: the world’s biggest automotive expo, the SEMA automotive show, is held annually in Las Vegas – AKA Party Central, USA – and features hundreds of the hottest show cars and booths catering to all aspects of vehicular customisation.

And you Regular Joes and Josephinas can’t attend.

That’s right. Not only is the SEMA show an invite-only event, you can only get on the door list if you’re involved in the automotive aftermarket industry or are a member of the motoring media.

But SEMA is a trade-only show. There no public days, so unless you work in the car-building or car-modifying business, or are very good friends with someone who does, you’re unlikely to experience it. So you’ll just have to take out word for it: SEMA rocks.

Then there was the Dodge Durango Shaker concept, a Mopar-muscled SUV configured to seat six in individual Viper bucket seats while showing a Porsche Cayenne Turbo how the Americans put the ‘hard’ into softroader.
