Event Coverage: Droptec Show & Shine 2011

DaveT -
This past Sunday I got to do two things I have never done before. Check out local custom car shop Droptec, and cover/attend a car show while it was snowing. While I don't really want to cover show another again while it's snowing I wouldn't mind attending another Droptec shindig. The vibe at the event was incredibly positive (even with the -3 weather) and you could really tell the entire operation is a family, and close friend operated affair.

Theme Tuesdays: BMW 2002s

DaveT -
Two BMW Theme Tuesdays in a row might be a little redundant for the non BMW fans but this is the post I was going to run last week before Rusty (sadly) died in a fire so I didn't really want to shelve it any longer and I forget all about it. The first time I opened a thread with a 2002 in it I was shocked because I was expecting a 2002 (year) BMW but what I found inside was much, much cooler.

The Evos have landed

DaveT -
Looks like silver Evos are rolling out pretty serious onto the streets of the GTA as this is the second one local one I've seen that packs heat on the inside and looks great on the outside. This particular one is putting down 431whp and 369 foot pounds of torque to the wheels. In these photos those wheels happen to be 18x10 Works wrapped in 225/40 tires however with that type of power it stands to reason that the owner has another set of wheels that could probably put this car into the fat and flush category.

April sticker giveaway

DaveT -
When I met with Mat from Seche Media last weekend to pick up the new product for the store he surprised me with a couple test prints of a design based on one of the most creative uses of the I Like Em' Dropped sticker I have ever seen. While I plan to do a somewhat limited run of these in the future giving away the first print along with some of the stickers from the Seche Media catalog seems like a good idea.

WTF Friday: The Goddamn Batman

DaveT -
Keeping the whole kit car thing going I've got another local kit car build that's sure to raise a few eyebrows and turn a few heads. Local Subaru nut, Batman fanatic, and all around nice guy Tim Neil is seeing through a life long dream of his and building a Bat Mobile. Not the Barris one most people think of either, he is building the one from the very dark (and very good) original Tim Burton Batman flick.

Red e30s

DaveT -
Why are there so many red e30s? I mean this in two ways, first here in Toronto a few years ago red e30s vastly outnumbered e30s of any other color at meets and events, and second not only are there a lot of them number wise but they also come in several different shades of red just to make things a little more confusing. Zinnoberrot, Karminrot, and Briliantrot are a few and I am sure I probably missed seven or so.

Featured Ride: Dominic’s Focus SVT

DaveT -
Anyone that's grown up riding (or skating) was probably told at some point prior to getting their license that as soon as they got the keys to their first car they would no longer be interested in spending hours on end at their favorite street spot, skate park, or set of trails and would instead be interested solely in automobiles. While that is true for some, those of us who love bikes and boards as much as we love cars always knew that both would have a significant presence in our lives.

Theme Tuesdays: RIP Rusty

DaveT -
This is wild, just last week I was talking to my friends Jay and Mike at Stance Factory, who had seen Rusty and Mike in person last year, about the 'presence' this car had and now it's all over. As a a regular BMW forum reader when Mike first started with this car I remember a lot of the earlier phases of this car quite well, so while I was going to do a BMW 2002 Theme Tuesday today I figured a Rusty one would be more appropriate.

Guest Coverage: Malaga Auto Museum

DaveT -
Stance Is Everything's own intentional correspondent Oliver Pickard recently too his Misses (or she took him) to the Malaga Automotive Museum in Spain, while he was there he took a bunch of photos and emailed them over to me. While most of these cars are one hundred percent stock and none of them anywhere near slammed there is absolutely no way I couldn't share these photos with the class.

WTF Friday: Want a truck? Make your own.

DaveT - 1
I'm sure we have all seen something like this before, someone takes a car with rear end damage and instead of getting it repaired traditionally (or just scraping the thing) the make some sort of El Camino bastard child. I can't really imagine how you go about getting these things insured since they would probably crumple like a ball of paper in an accident, and I doubt 2 of the 3 posted today go down the street straight, but hey its DIY?

Event Coverage: Fleetwood Cruize In: Part 1

DaveT - 6
Since I had never been to Fleetwood Country Cruize In before I wasn't really sure what to expect. I figured it would be pretty good at least being affiliated with The Speed Channel and Meguairs' Car Crazy, but I really had no idea just how big of a classic car event this was until we were on our way to Dorchester the night before and we passed classic after classic on the highway. This was easily the biggest car show I have been to in Ontario with vehicles sprawled all over the ginormous Plunkett estate. It was a sight to behold and worth the trip if you were ever debating it.
