TOKYO AUTO SALON 2013
ALL-ITALIAN CAR & VEHICLE SHOW & BBQ
2012 GERMAN CAR FESTIVAL
Rather than saving the best for last, let us start with yesterday’s show stopper… Mr. Jaeckel’s Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 was possibly the prettiest of all the cars there.
This is definitely not the last time we will see of this beauty, play again soon.
The German Car Festival traces its routes back many years to when it was a Porsche Club show and shine outing to support a local charity.
In 2002 the event formally became the German Car Festival as Ron Dempsey worked to bring the BMW, Porsche and Mercedes clubs together to host the event.
The event has grown and become popular as a summer show and shine for the various authorized German car clubs. Those are the ‘brick and mortar’ clubs that are sanctioned by the manufacturer, and now include not only our BMW Car Club of BC, but the local Porsche Club of America – Canada West Region, the Mercedes-Benz Club of America – British Columbia Section, and the Audi Club of British Columbia.
As can be expected from such a diverse group, there will some very interesting cars participate in this event both new and old.

2011 SEMA SHOW RACING AND PERFORMANCE GALLERY
This is our first day here at the 2011 SEMA Show. Not too exciting on my part, mainly because I have only been talking to the brands. Tomorrow will be play day. I will have a gallery uploaded much later tonight. Please stay tuned!
A blast from the past… don’t hate. You know you were a ricer once upon a time, we all were.
DAY TWO AT THE 2010 TOKYO AUTO SALON
COAST DRIFT ALL IMPORT CAR SHOW
A trip to the island we did. Even though the purpose of the trip was to attend the Coast Drift All Import Car Show, we probably invested less than four hours there. The morning started off with a late breakfast, and then rolled in at about ten-ish. We chilled for about thirty-minutes, then left. Where to? Back to Bear Mountain Resort where we were staying, from there it was straight into the pool. Eventually made our way back to the show, checked out a bit of amateur drifting, did some people watching. Many were rather confused by Tyler’s EG6 with the JDM K20A swap, or as they see it… a D-Series engine installed backwards. What came to our surprise was David’s Mugen DC5, taking home "Best Custom Modification". Heavily modified, yes. Custom Modification? No. Don’t know if it was this event, but Victoria illustrated a much different scene.
MINE’S NISSAN R35 GTR
What a great way to the end day, came across the MINE’s booth this year at the SEMA Show. We had no idea they where even here!
