Honda

It's been awhile since I dropped some Random Dopeness, and I have had this set ready for quite some time so it's time, so it's time to throw one up. Enjoy.

Last Sunday I attended Summer Sizzle 2 put on by Pur Secretz at Vonn Cycle, and even though the calendar had yet to tick over to 'Summer' it was sizzling out. The show had a pretty big turnout and a lot going on (especially for a free show) so I was there for quite awhile between walking around and shooting the breeze in the shade.

BBS LM's are an amazing looking wheel with a design that never goes out of style. Some might say the LM is played out but I would rather go with timeless, BBS is one of the few wheel manufacturers with a near flawless record of putting out designs that are versatile, unique, sought after, and often imitated but never duplicated. I did a BBS LM appreciation post last year and the time as home for me to do it once again, hope you don't mind.

I've made it a point over the last few weeks to interact with those of you on the facebook 'like' page more and while doing so I noticed that the fan photos gallery had some super clean looking readers rides. For those not on facebook or part of the 'like' page page here is some of what you are missing out on.

Julian hit me up with some news from Cali, some good some and some bad. Unfortunately his super clean, low, wrx wagon was smacked up by another car, but don't worry, it's currently going under the knife and should be back looking great with some new additions in no time. Until then he sent me some pics of his friend Arsen's S2k that's killing the streets on custom painted Work Emotion CR-Kai's.

Rolling shots are really an art, whether meticulously planned or a random snap out of a window they always have a way of bringing out the best parts of a car and minimizing the worst. Maybe that's why Rolling shot appreciation threads can be found on virtually every car forum on the net, here is my homage.

Bad title I know, but moving past that, Noah at EKhatch is posting regularly again and has done something pretty interesting with his hood. He's brought it down to metal and thrown some WW2 era Rob Schwager graphics on it for this summer.

Last week I posted a sick STI on Advans sharing lens space with an equally sick s2000 and the week before that I posted a flush s2000 on blue Volks which was the car that started the local s2000 onslaught. Today I've got some more photos of the s2000 and STI, along with a TSX, 350z and the Civic SI you might have seen hiding in the original s2000 shoot.

This is really weird, a member on JDMrides had a CF DA hood for sale that 11 people said they would but all flaked out for one reason or another. So instead of throwing it in a corner and waiting for a new buyer the seller got frustrated and filmed himself destroying the usable hood. There is something to be said here about the western society and waste but that's for more sophisticated blogs, here I just say WTF.

I'm not sure what's going on so far this year but I sure hope it continues as this is the third clean, local, s2000 I am posting in the past two weeks. Last year I can't really recall devoting a post to even one. Today's contender is also wearing Volks and comes with a bonus STI.

JDM rides member, xxbvanxx, hosts weekly Sunday night meets in the Square One mall parking lot here in Mississauga. This year the kick off meet was promoted about two months in advance and highly anticipated. As Sunday April 25th finally rolled around the weather looked like it could be a problem, but it eventually cleared up long enough for 200-300 cars to gather for about 20 minutes before being told to leave by the local Police department.

It looks like Toronto area s2000 owners have something to prove because this is the second s2000 I have found in as many weeks sitting on dope 'real' wheels. Last weeks clean white s2000 was sitting on Volks while this weeks yellow beauty is sitting low on Work VS-XX wheels.
