Event Coverage

Going through my coverage of the Detroit AutoRama, and looking at the attention to detail in all of the builds, it's hard to not want to roll my own car directly into the nearest body of water and never look back. So many of the cars are closer to works of art than they are vehicles and If I ever get to the point where I can build a car half (maybe even a quarter) as nice as those I saw in the Cobo Center on Saturday I'll die a very happy man.

The Detroit Autorama is one of those shows I've been meaning to attend for several years but always put off until next year because of it's distance from my house.  Having now attended the show I feel foolish for letting a drive that really isn't all that far keep me from a show that is really worth attending. Autorama showcased some of the most impressive builds of any show I've been too. Traditional Hot Rods, Customs, Mini trucks, and several things in between were all jam packed into the two levels of the Cobo Center.

Last weekend the 47th Annual Auto Value World Of Wheels took place at the BMO Center in Calgary Alberta, and contributing photographer Mike McConnell just so happened to be in attendance with his trusty DSLR. Based on his coverage World of Wheels looks very similar to Performance World (now Megaspeed) here in Ontario. It caters mostly to classics --something I don't mind at all-- but every make, model, and style of build is welcome.
