Time to jump right back into the second of three Importfest show day coverage photos. Despite the "can't beleive I missed that car" feeling I get after every event I am pretty happy with the coverage this year compared to years previous. I'm finally on my way to figuring out the tricky Metro Toronto Convention Centre lighting. Part 1 ended off with a lot of the cars Nextmod brought out and today's coverage hops from crew to crew before ending off with a few vehicles from Street Outlawz including their insane v10 Nissan s14 project.

It's been two years since the last 2002 Theme Tuesday and quite frankly that is far too long. The 2002 is perhaps second most loved classic BMW (first being the e30) of all time so there are plenty of stunning examples out there. So many great examples in fact that you shouldn't be too surprised if a part three creeps up in the not too distant future.

Now in it's thirteenth year Importfest is a firmly established staple of the Toronto scene and for the second year in a row Stance Is Everything was there via both media coverage and a physical booth. Like last year 201 coverage will be split into three parts with the third dedicated to the awesome group of guys who were part of the Stance Is Everything display at Importfest 2013.

Woke up a little bit early this morning and decided to use those few extra hours I didn't plan on having to get a bit of a jump on the Importfest 2013 coverage. After setting up and getting the cars cleaned I did a quick 30 minute lap of the building to get an idea of what to expect for today's show.

I was browsing maxbimmer.com the other day (something I don't do nearly as often as I used to) and came across the latest incarnation of this e30 belonging to member 'Big D'. Historically never one to pussy foot around Big D is looking to unleash all sorts of unholy hell his now s52 powered e30 that recently dynoed at 648whp at 18psi.

Every year at England's Goodwood Estate there are two awesome automotive events; The Goodwood Revival and The Goodwood Festival of Speed. If I were located on that side of the pond I would surely attend both no questions asked but sadly I'm on this side of the pond and currently it's not in the cards to attend either event any time soon. However long time reader and England native Matt Blackhurst had the opportunity to attend this years Festival of speed and was nice enough to send through some coverage so enjoy today's post from his perspective.

It's been a little while since I've lived vicariously through the lens of someone else for a Theme Tuesday but once Camp N Drag photos started showing up in my news feed over the weekend this week's fate was set. It took a bit but after some searching I managed to find a great variety of photos from Lisa Bryant, 4130 Photography, Upstate DVD and CM Photography.

Visiting Montreal for Eurokracy 2013 opened up several opportunities to share a meal, drink, or both, with people I had previously only had the pleasure of interacting with on-line and today's feature comes by way of one of those chance encounters. Gabe, and Kevin, --who I met over dinner after Eurokracy-- are part of the production team at French Canadian VDO; a Quebec based media outlet that has been making an impact on the minitrucking world for the past few years.

Today's WTF Friday was originally going to be a Theme Tuesday but after some consideration I thought it might be a little too "far out" for some. Despite the fact that many of them are some of the most ridiculous looking things on four wheels I've always loved show rods from the sixties and seventies. No matter how over the top they still manage to stay (somewhat) grounded in era correct modifications by way of wheel selection, motor, loud pipes/headers, and of course raked stance.
