Winner of the Dirtiest
Truck Competition
MICHAEL BENNER from Brea, California, USA.
As you can see its a beauty....in the dirtiest way possible! Congratulations to Michael Benner from California for taking out our Dirtiest Truck Competition and winning the fantastic Massojet prize package. This was no small feat considering the hundreds of photos of absolutely filthy vehicles that we received from all over the world. We think that all of the entrants need the Massojet high pressure cleaning system to make their 4x4s spotless but Michael definitely needed it the most! And we know that our Massojet can make even his car look like a showroom vehicle in no time. So enjoy your prize Micahel and let us know how the Massojet goes. A big thank you goes out to everyone who entered this contest and if you would like to get your hands on a Massojet cleaning system please email sales@staunproducts.com
for information about your nearest distributor. |

The SEMA Success!
Date: November 5-8, 2002
Venue: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas
The results are in and the SEMA Show’s exhibitors and attendees
are the winners. The 2002 SEMA Show, held Nov. 5 –8 in the
Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), boasted more exhibitors, more
square feet, more buyers, more attendees and more excitement than
ever before.
“We’re very excited to have raised the
bar on our already world-class trade show this year,” said
Christopher J. Kersting, CAE, president of SEMA, the Specialty
Equipment Market Association. “Our exhibitors and attendees
clearly demonstrated that the SEMA Show is the place to get business
done.”
The largest automotive accessories show in the world,
SEMA Show 2002 boasted nearly 1,600 exhibitors who used 1.5 million
square feet to showcase the hottest new parts and accessories
for cars, trucks and SUVs. In addition to the specialty equipment
manufacturers exhibiting, twelve carmakers, including the Chrysler
Group, which was the Vehicle Manufacturer of the Show, displayed
their new vehicles, parts and accessories. More than 1,500 unique
cars, trucks, boats, and other vehicles were on display in the
LVCC and the area surrounding the Center.
The record number of exhibiting companies was met
by a record number of automotive industry professionals, (86,787).
Of the crowd filling the booths and aisles, 39,879 were buyers
from more than 100 countries. "Our exhibitors have been telling
us that this was their best show ever, but we were most excited
to find that nearly 40,000 buyers came to our show to do business,"
Peter MacGillivray, vice president of sales and marketing for
SEMA added.
SEMA’s New Products Program boasted nearly 900 new products,
all of which were digitally photographed and distributed as a
product release for buyers and the media in both paper and electronic
versions.
SEMA is already planning its 2003 SEMA Show, the 27th consecutive
annual show the Association has held in Las Vegas, and the 38th
it has organized.
SEMA represents the $26 billion specialty automotive industry.
The trade association has more than 4,500 member companies. It
is the authoritative source of research data, trends and market
growth information for automakers and the specialty auto products
industry. The industry provides appearance, performance, comfort,
convenience and technology products for passenger cars, minivans,
trucks, SUVs and recreational vehicles. For more information visit

standard of nightly entertainment and daily activities such as
Ladies Day, Juniors Day, Toyota 4WD test drives, our own radio
station, casting competition and quality night entertainment provide
a week full of festivity for all to enjoy.
The Expo is about having a great time with your family - and of
course your mates. The nightly entertainment at Orchid Beach gathers
participants to enjoy performances by some of Australia's leading
artists, videos of the day's competition and rave about the "one
that got away". The random prizes drawn each night ensure
that even those who can't catch a fish can land a prize.
Other competitions have their own agenda and attractions yet cannot
match the diversity of experiences and unparalleled beauty of
Fraser Island.
The renowned camaraderie, mateship and family involvement at the
Toyota Fraser Island Fishing Expo makes it a unique experience
for all. This is verified by the interaction and support competitors
have given to the expo over the past 18 years. So much so that
they feel a sense of ownership and pride that they are part of
the team setting the standards not only for other fishing competitions
but for all visitors to Fraser Island.
