Theme Tuesday: Muscle Part II

By

-

Jul 17, 2012

I mentioned in my last Performance Improvements article that as a wee lad the first time I noticed stance of any sort was on a muscle car.

The exaggerated forward rake that was in at the time made it stand out amongst all the factory cars I was used to seeing and it was the first time I realized I didn’t much care for stock height.

So with that in mind here are some of the muscle cars that have been taking of residence on my hard drive.

muscle18 — When it comes to over exageration Japan does it perhaps the best

muscle1 — I’ve always sort of thought the front end on these was a little long… not sure if the rake helps or makes it worse

muscle15_jav — The first Javelin I’ve posted?

muscle13 — Keeping the Trans Am feel going a bit

muscle20 — I feel like I have posted this before…

muscle3 — What would this post be without a car with a blower

muscle7 — One day I will be able to get an interesting panning shot like this… one day

muscle2 — Something like this is very close to inline with my ‘forever’ car

muscle4 — Though I could see being swayed to more of a pro touring look

muscle9 — Not 100% sold on those particular wheels but the stance is right

muscle6 — HRE wheels will probably forever be out of my price range but there is no denying that they are worth the price

muscle17jpeg — This car looks sublte yet sinister at the same time and does 10 second quarters at 128

muscle10 — I still need to see this in person

muscle19 — Well see there’s your problem (The H.A.M.B. tells me this is Ron Mancini’s transmission all over the floor)

Head nod to Ollie cause I think he sent a few of these.

For those wondering the first ‘low’ vehicle I seem to be able to remember was an s10 Blazer.

Event Coverage: 2012 Majestics / Luxurious BBQ

A couple weeks ago Rob from Perfromance Improvments let me know that I should check out the Majestics/Luxurious lowrider BBQ at St Marie Curtis Park West.

Generally the word “Lowrider” is more than enough to get me to come to an event but when you throw in the word ‘barbecue’ along with it I am there in a second.

These events are always a pretty good way to spend an afternoon because they atmosphere is incredibly laid back compared to a lot of other events, and the empahisis always seems to be less on the cars and more on a ‘family’ reunion of sorts, infact if I were to ever to an event for the site I would want it to have a similar vibe to one of these than anything else.

I ended up spending the better part of the day at the Majestics/Luxurious BBQ watching cars from Montreal all the way to Ohio roll in and hop out.

chevy_64_blue_front — I put a similar shot to this on the fanpage from the event

chevy_62_impala_front — Quintessential Lowrider shot

chevy_64_hardtop_1 — One of, if not the only, Impala not on wires

chevy_impala_hated_1 — This looks nearly identical to a model kit released a few years ago

chevy_impala_hated_1_rear_three — The kit allows you to set it up like this too

chevy_hate_2 — Would have loved to see this with the top down

buick_regal_1 — The paint on this was wild, lots of depth, flake, and skulls

chevy_elcamino — Personally I can’t say I have come across many El Camino Lowriders

chevy_elcamanio_rear — While I didn’t see it hop it looked more than capable

chevy_elcamino_far — Shot of the same car from way across the parking lot while I was hiding in the shade

lineup_1 — Impalas on Impalas on Impalas

chevy_impala_lineup — Same group different angle

chevy_66_impala — As soon as I pulled up this ‘~~66(?)~~ 68 caught my eye, hard to miss with the yellow on yellow

gold_exterior — This Gold Impala had an insane amount of work done to it on the inside

gold_interior — I am going to assume one of the monitors in there displays the engine vitals.. but who knows

donk_1 — I thought this was sorta priceless, he looked confused

chevy_aqua_7 — This ’60 came off a trailer and was basically spotless

chevy_aqua_3 — This colour is hard to accuratley capture

chevy_aqua_6 — A bit of a closer look at the motor

chevy_aqua_4 — See the saftey star on the right there? If it is original it is worth a pretty penny.

olds_front — I’m told lowriders are aligned like this so that when they hop ball joints to blow up

buick_regal_5 — Up on 3 back to where it was parked

chevy_caprice — I’ve always kind of liked these done up like this… fits

hop_6 — Both could hold their own hopping

buick_regal_4 — The mural work on this one was unreal

buick_regal_3 — Perhaps a little cryptic but nice art none the less

hop_3 — He wasn’t scared to hop it either

hop_2 — This guy showed up later today and immediately started the show

hopper_ohio — This one was trailered all the way from Ohio and looked to be a sure bet for the single pump class

hopper_ohio2 — Bumped and bruised like a well used drift car

hop_4a — Thing’s were looking pretty good

hop_broken — From what I overheard the control arm snapped, tie rod gave up the ghost, and the ball joint went.
He was taking the control arm back to Jeff’s shop to weld so they could put it back on the trailer

lincolin_majestics_1 — One of two crazy Lincoln’s both part of Majestics

lincolin_majestics_2 — Hit’s 3s with ease

lincolin_majestics_3 — Notice the bumper, the picture below explains how it got like that

jeff_1 — Jeff of Switches N Thangs and his crazy Lincoln

hop_5 — Hard to get a decent shot of Jeff”s car hopping as once it started a crowd gathered

Big shout out to Jeff from Swtiches N Thangs and the rest of the guys from Majestics and Luxurious for bringing it all together for everyone to see.

If there’s ever a lowrider event in your town I recommend checking it out at least once and the next one in the area is Saturday July 28th at 2520 Dixie Road in Mississauga put on by True Playaz.

I’ve made no effort in hiding my love for LS motors in all things with four wheels and as such here is another.

While this may not be the only LS1 Astro floating around the net it is probably the closest to stock in appearance I have ever seen, running boards and all.

It’s also clearly not built in a shop or with a high budget, just a guy with some tools who wanted to go fast in something with the aerodynamics of a recycling bin hurled through the air.

When I found it I left the tab open hoping that there would be future updates but sadly it’s a cardomain page so if it will ever be updated again is up for debate.

Either way this otherwise factory (aside from extensive stereo) 91 Astro has 99 LS1 under the hood, er.. dash? Wherever you classify the motors in these things.

party_party_1 — Sleeper if I ever saw one

party_party_2 — ” I got sick of having a collection of burned shoes “

party_party_p — I can see why this would burn shoes

The owner also has a Chrysler New Yorker he says puts down 297HP and 354FBTQ to the wheels and has plans to boost this van because in his own words “Nothing like making a fast van, a scary fast van!!!”.

Those with an active Cardoman account still bug him for updates for me.

Site Updates

Still waiting on new store stock but and I’ll be at CSCS Sunday with what I’ve got.

I may also swing by a Lowrider BBQ Sat.

Flashback Friday

No flashback today only because Tuesday was pretty well a Flashback already. Check out this instead.

Lucky, luck man.

Event Coverage: Euronited

Starting a new show or event is never an easy task. With so many other events taking place in our relativley short season it’s nearly impossible to schedule something that is not on the same day as at least one other event.

Never mind choosing a venue, enticing vendors, and getting participants and spectators to come out.

Lord knows I don’t really want to deal with any of that but the crew at Euronited did and did a damn good job with their first event.

The show had a lot of things going for it: first and formost having Burrito Boyz onsite is never a bad idea, and if Burritos were not your thing the Port Credit location offered tons of other local restaurants within walking distance.

There was even a skatepark a stones throw away if anyone wanted to take their bikes and boards off their car and put them to use.

Having cars parked indoors and outdoors was also a nice touch, especially for those who burn in the sun, and Eurnoited was streaming the event on line which is something I have never seen any other local event do.

I was at the event from beging to about mid way through and the turnout was pretty good, with a little more promotion I could see this show getting a lot bigger in the years to come.

Indoor

Though it wasn’t without it’s challenges (ie the entrance) having indoor and outdoor show space is something few shows in the area have.

It did make shooting a little hard though as arena lighting is weird.

fj_cruiser — Well except maybe this FJ Cruiser that had basically a stores inventory worth of Pioneer equipment in it

Close by the FJ was this TT, which I think used to be on black Porsche twists

bmw_x — Pretty interesting to see one of these modified

5 sets of blacktops… someone is more paranoid than I

audi — Would have been cool to see the Audi’s down the one side and dubs on the other

audi_2 — I keep thinking that sticker reads ‘Chopstix’

mkv_jetta — MKV on a somewhat less popular Vette wheel

mkv_golf — Complete coincidence this and the one above are almost identical shots

mkv_golf_works — Previous Vagkraft winner

mkv_golf_works3 — Follow him on twitter @volkswag

ryan_2 — This car is spotless, one of the cleanest cars I have ever seen inside and out

ryan_1 — Beautiful freshly done interior too

ryan_3 — The owner is a nice guy as well

bankrupt — All of these were amazing examples of well kept older VWs

caddy_1 — Didn’t notice the subtle two tone until looking at the photo later

mk2_gti2 — This GTI was parked a little ways from the cars above but was done in a similar timeless fashion

Outdoors

Outside seemed to continously be filling with cars even though the roll in was supposed to go until 11 or so. Props to the staff for not turning people away.

merc_work — I’ve always loved this finish from Work

bmw_e46 — E46 and Infiniti rolled up a few minutes before I left

bmw_alpina — I thought this was the only one in Ontario but the owner informed me there are actually 2 more, beautiful fast car

fiat_1 — The Fiat 500 now with super aggressive pull

model_1 — The Fiat had the uncanny ability of attracting models

model_2 — I think I have to email these shots to this model actually…

mk1_golf_stretch_rear — Now that is some Stretch & Poke

mk1_ats_type_5 — As was this one on ATS Type 5s with vintage luggage on the roof rack

mk1_ats_type_5_2 — Dug this shot for whatever reason

mk2_demwheels2 — I wrote about these wheels awhile back, never thought to see them so close to home

mk2_demwheels — In addition to being very unique they suit the car very, very well

mk2_demwheels_olive — My dog Olive however couldn’t care less

mk2_gti — Perhaps my favourite GTI of the show…

mk3_jetta — Upon seeing this car my girlfriend said I like this and I don’t know why

mkiv_golf — Golf with a skateboard as a rack fairing

mkiv_roll — Looks like it has been there for ahwile

vw_mk4_loud — Justin is in-between wheels at the present time

dark_shark — Dark Shark also between wheels

chop_shop5 — Chop Shop Jetta, some of you might remember from the Eurokracy coverage

chop_shop3 — I just realized I briefly had stickers available in these two colours, should bring that back.

chop_shop6 — Love how his car sits aired out

tt2 — I heard after I left the owner of this car started it up, reved it, then it basically started spewing disturbing amounts of exhaust from the tailpipe

tt_bay — He ended up driving it home despite people urging him otherwise, anyone know the full story?

Hopefully see you next year at Euronited.

Event Coverage: Boost Theory Grand Opening

On Sunday a new performance shop in Mississauga opened under the name Boost Theory and as the name implies they specialize in forced induction but are more than capable of working on N/A motors, suspension and anyting else you would expect from a good performance shop.

On my way home from Euronited (coverage tomorrow) I swung by and was greeted by Focal Point Concepts, Elevated, Sic Ryde, and a few other local celebrities.

I didn’t get a whole lot of coverage but I did get a few interesting cars. Not too many shots of inside the shop because they had a pretty elaborte model shoot going on that I didn’t want to interfere with.

The Shop & Shop Cars

store_front_3 — Boost Theroy’s two main shop cars parked right out front

greyhair — Fairly certain both of these cars are in the 650+ club, I know the Skyline puts down 695 or so

greyhair2 — I think I read this car might be above 8 but don’t quote me

harley — and if the cars are not fast enough…

store_front_2 — It’s almost a prerequisite that every shop have CP24 on 90% of the time

store_front_1 — A list of what they can do for you

plastidip_r32 — This R32 was recently plasti-dipped white

supra — Don’t know much about this car but it’s probably safe to assume it’s pretty fast

nissan_pulsar3 — Most of the day there was a huge crowd around this Pulsar GTI-R

nissan_pulsar2 — Which makes sense because these cars are not exactly common around here

nissan_pulsar1 — Not sure what the goal number is for this build

Supporters

benz_vossens — Like this, simple, to the point

datsun_510 — When I pulled up I thought this car was leaving but thankfully he was just relocating

datsun_510_bay — Nice touch with the Asahai can

fpc_spenser — Probably the tenth time I have taken a similar picture of his engine bay

girl_1 — I actually like these wheels more with the white faces over her previous completely polished look

girl_2 — Still one of the cleanest female owned rides in the area

honda_brian — For every picture of Spenser’s Bay I have equal pictures of Brian’s hatch

subaru_trial_wb3 — Once again the Trial Widebody

subuar_trial_wb2 — and as promised pictures of the interior… cf panels and all

subuar_trial_wb — The bay (car is wrapped)

Boost Theory is located at 777 Dundas Street West and can be found on Facebook.

Event Coverage: Mosport DMCC 2012: Show And Shine

Before I get into coverage from the events that took place this past weekend I ought to finish off the coverage from the previous weekend so with that here is the show & shine coverage from the 2012 DMCC Mosport event.

Put on by Carlos of SLC Productions the show & shine this year wasn’t as big as I remember from 2010 but it did have a decent mix of cars and since it was actually cheaper to enter the show and shine than pay for 2 regular price admissions a lot of people who wouldn’t normally show (like myself) entered.

rockstar_sticker_bomb — Rockstar was showing off their vinyl sticker bomb sheet which would be a lot easier than collecting all those stickers. Do they need to get permission from each company to print that though?

Parked beside the bombed car was this fairly clean e30

Five Axis kitted, and stainless wrapped, Scion IQ that was in PAS last month

mazda_my_car — Spy shot of my car from trackside… those are this years Importfest/Stance Is Everything fliers all over it

subaru_wht_wht — Pig nose on white MSR’s

jeep_thing — This beastly looking Jeep was actually one of my favorite vehicles of the show

honda_matt_sc — Matt’s car with the Neo Motorsports hood prop

acura_rsx_2 — RSX with a whole wack of JDM parts

acura_rsx — I preffered the simplicity of this RSX over the one above just a little bit

expl_fire — Explicit Contentz came out… one day I am going to ask how many man hours are in that hood

honda_s2000 — Colin’s s2000 with the full CF front end and shaved bay

subaru_john — By now you are all probably familar with John’s new look

skyline — Every time I see this car I wonder what a different bumper would look like on it

chev_s10_2 — I somehow managed to misplace the owner of this trucks card as I wanted to get in touch with him, love the truck

chev_blazer_1 — This Blazer also came along with him and I was a fan of both

chevy_blazer_2 — The custom dash really, really, helps update the interior of the Blazer and if they find a solution for the headlight switch it would be perfect

chevy_s10_3 — Back to the s10, since I saw it last at Megaspeed the bed has been painted

Liam’s Cefiro

Going to end with Liams car because this was my first time seeing it in person and I am happy to say it looks just as good, if not better, than it does in pictures.

nissan_liam3 — The twin setup wasn’t working out so well so he ditched it for a single

nissan_liam5 — His Facebook stauses revealed it was a joy to do

nissan_liam4 — He was talking about taking the aero off and sliding it at the next CSCS event so maybe look for it on the track this Sunday

nissan_liam — Love the interior… it’s almost business causal… or something

nissan_liam2 — I’m sure a lot of people had no idea what they were looking at when they passed by Liam’s car

Theme Tuesdays: GTA Then and Now

After posting the Trial Widebody 2010 vs 2012 picture on the fan page I realized that with the amount of back content the site has I could do the same for a number of local vehicles, so for this Tuesday I’ve done just that.

To prevent things from getting too out of hand I have limited it to cars that have seen multiple revisions over the years rather than a one year change but I am not opposed to doing another one of these at the end of the year to include 2011 year end to 2012 year end differences.

My Car

Really not that much has changed with my car from 2009 to 2012. The wheels were changed twice, the suspension went from springs to coils and then those coils have had 3 sets of springs in them all because I refuse to pull collars (I am stubborn like that).

A couple smaller things have also changed along the way but only I noticed those.

Alex’s SC300

Alex’s car has changed quite a few times since I first met him in 2010 or so and I know for a fact it is going to change a little bit more for 2012 and a whole bunch for 2013.

Erik’s Probe

Erik’ pretty well never stops working on his car and it’s one of the cleanest Probes in the area, when I first met him he had basically just mounted a staggered wheel set-up, then he moved to a square set-up, and boosted it.

As of this year he got rid of his body kit and I believe converted a completely black interior including dash swap.

Matt’s s2000

Pretty sure I am missing one of Matt’s wheel setups from 2009 to now and I might have blown his colour change secret but…

John’s Subaru

This is the only one year change I am going to include in this list because I think it looks significantly better green than blue and orange.

It still has a lot of stickers still but that’s the life of a sponsored car.

Kiwee’s Flex

Originally I didn’t plan on including this truck in today’s list because I didn’t know I have a photo of it in 2009 but once I found one I decided to include it.

John’s Mazda3

Exterior wise John’s car has probably gone through the most significant change of any posted today,the wide body is a completly custom one off creation that would be crazy on it’s own but then you add the new wheels and air to the list and things get really crazy.

I still need to see this car in person but from what I hear it is very impressive.

Blain’s G35

Blain’s was one of the first cars I ever saw in person with a significant amount of tire stretch in 2009 and since the car’s gone through a couple trunk, suspension, wheel, and bumper changes.

While he did finally cave from his strict only static frame of mind he will always be on authentic wheels.

Brett’s LS

Brett’s car seems be constantly changing for the better and I was actually taking photos of it before I met him.

Currently it looks better than ever and once his red interior is done…

Aidan’s IS300

Brett’s car naturally leads to his fellow Liberty teammate Aidan’s IS300 that after the kit went on has had two sets of wheels and two different uspension setups.

Steve’s e30

This is kind of a cheat because he changed cars entierly but it was e30 to e30…

Chris’ E30

Drift car evolutions are a little different than the cars above…

Trial Wide body

From what I’ve read and overheard this car wasn’t just a visual change but a mindset change for the owner, it went from show car and occasional track car to track and occasional show car.

Photos of the engine bay and interior of this car will be up in the Boost Theory grand opening coverage later this week.

Stage Four RX-7

I must have been sleeping when Ken changed his car, or he just did it all this year, either way huge changes for 2012.

Spenser’s Civic

Spenser’s car has evolved more and more into a track car as the years have progressed but it still holds it’s own at shows and gets street driven.

Pat’s Ae86

This is the swan song year for this AE86 so I had to include a few photos of it.

Before I saw it for the first time this year I was worried he got rid of the green but I was glad to see that it is still there just a lot darker.

Hey she’s not a car!

Hopefully the model in this photo (who has done quite well for herself Miss Mega Speed and all), and her probably larger than myself boyfriend, have a sense of humour about this one.

If not you know how I got my black eye next you see me.

Bug Life

Jul 9, 2012

Recently Volkswagen released their latest re-imagining of the car that has become known affectionately known as ‘The Bug’ in another attempt to recapture what they created on the very first go round, however just like the previous ‘New Beetle’ the current falls short of the mark.

Really you can’t blame VW for trying because in addition to being one of the most recognizable cars ever built the original Bugs just have something about them that appeals to almost everyone, enthusiast or non.

When one passes by, no matter the condition, people just can’t help to at the very least take a glance in it’s direction.

Having never owned an iconic vehicle of any sort I can’t describe exactly what it’s like to own and drive a Bug but I can say that based on what I observed it looks to be an experience like no other.

The drive to the photo shoot location from my place was short, 20 minutes at best, but in that time the amount of looks, thumbs-up, and honks of approval were far greater than I have witnessed any of the previously featured cars receive in double or triple the amount of time.

While taking the rolling shots we were holding up two lanes of traffic and instead of being treated to a bevy of horn honks, middle finger gestures, and road noise obscured obscenities, we were given the time to continue doing what we were doing.

For a brief period everyone seemed ok with getting to their destination a little later just to check out these two very similar, yet drastically different, Bugs cruise together.

It’s this aura around The Bug that has always drawn Lukasz to them and when the opportunity arose to purchase a somewhat recently restored ’61 Deluxe Lukasz and his girlfriend didn’t hesitate.

Shortly after he got his Bug he met Paul, a fellow air cooled enthusiast who happened to live in the same neighborhood, who in addition to looking for someone new to cruise with was more than happy to help Lukasz get his Bug sitting pretty.

In short order the stock suspension was removed in favor of a 4″ narrow beam with adjusters, and drop spindles, and to complement the exterior and really set the car off 145 and 160 whitewall tires were added.

The story behind Paul’s Bug isn’t all that much different than Lukasz’s, his just started at it little earlier.

To the untrained eye Paul’s 61 may look un-restored,but the fact of the matter is that underneath all that patina it’s received an incredible amount of love.

Nearly rotted all the way to the core when he picked it up Paul’s car needed a lot of hard work and new metal to get it where it is today.

As the man behind Paulo’s Metal Works the state of disrepair the car was when he got it didn’t phase Paul in the slightest and as this Facebook gallery illustrates he spent more than his fare share of time carefully crafting replacement panels until the floor, inner fenders, and exterior of of the car was back in one piece.

In the midst of replacing panels the car was brought down significantly (5″ narrow beam with adjusters and drop spindles and a 2 notch drop in the rear) and now complete (well as complete as never ending projects are) and 100% road worthy the car sees about 9 or 10 months of daily driver use throughout the year.

That’s right, Paul’s car sees more daily driving than a lot of cars in the area more than half it’s age and actually took to the streets late February of this year.

Lukasz isn’t all that far behind his friend either as since he’s got the car he and his girlfriend have been driving it as much as they can because the best way to enjoy these cars is simply to drive them.

WTF Friday: Causing A Ruckus

Jul 6, 2012

I’m not really the biggest Honda Ruckus fan, I mean they look kind of neat modified, but I think people always look a little weird riding one.

I am however a big fan of ‘large motor in a small vehicle-are you sure this was a good idea-how the hell are we going to stop this thing-watch out for that pole’ type projects such as this.

Technically this scooter isn’t a Ruckus, it’s a Dolsoe -a Tawainese replica of a Ruckus- and while most people hate replicas this was built on a replica because it used a 100% steel frame instead of the Ruckus’ Auburn like aluminum front end and steel rear.

An all steel frame comes in handy when you need to hack it up to put a 600cc GSXR motor and transmission where a much less potent motor once lay.

Built by rotorracing on totalruckus.com this ‘knock off’ is now sporting an extended frame, custom hubs, custom tank, custom exhaust, custom… well you get the idea.

It’s basically a completely custom motorcycle that resembles a scooter.

And because this would be useless without video:

I guess that does look kind of fun…build is here

Site Updates

There are once again way too many events going on this Sunday and because I am two events in the hole editing wise I am going to go to the one closest to me which is Euronited in Port Credit.

If you want to find out some of the other events this weekend check out the Toronto Meet & Event Calendar on Facebook

I’ve also placed a new order with Seche Media so the store should be restocked very soon!

Finally I am almost done the Importfest line up of cars Euro and Import boxes have been checked off and now I just need something American or drastically different (thinking a truck). If you are interested read this post and drop me an email.

Flashback Friday

The Indy is this weekend, I won’t be going but you can check out the coverage I did last year the day before the big show.

Lots of content still waiting to go live so another weekend post is likely…

Guest Coverage: Eurokracy 2012

Despite the wet weather last years Eurokracy drew quite a crowd proving that European car enthusiasts are not the type to let a little water get in the way of good times and low cars.

This year the Eurokracy team started promoting the show six months in advance and once the weather cooperated breaking last years attendance record was no problem at all.

Long time Stance Is Everything friend/reader Neil Kates made the trek out to Montreal for the show and his coverage combined a co-sign from The Scraped Crusaders make me think I should brave the Montreal roads and head out next year.

lineup3 — These two shots really illustrate just how big of a deal Eurokracy is

Non Euros

No outcasts at Eurokracy

s10_2 — Neil seems to share low trucks and Daytons

nissan2 — Props to the owner for keeping that lip scrape free, doesn’t look like an easy task

nissan — I am going to go out on a limb and say this car probably gets tossed around the track a bit

nissan_350_3 — Those of you who read Canibeat will recognize this 350 from a feature they did on it

nissan_350_2 — Great fitment without going over the top like some 350z drivers

subaru_bagged — Speaking of CIB/Air Society features this one is another

ford_mustang_phil_2 — Rounding out the e-famous ‘non euros’ here’s Phil’s Cobra

ford_mustang_phil_1 — Phil was recently able to get the car to roll at this height specifically for the Eurokracy Limbo contest

BMW

Some of Toronto’s heavy hitters of the BMW community made there way out to Montreal to meet up with their finest

bmw_monolo — Monolo was looking to retain his limbo title but got beat by this crazy vehicle with a folding windshield

bmw_e30_bronzit — His Brother Carm made the trip out with him

bmw_e36 — There’s a car locally that recently got a setup nearly identical to this

bmw_e30_wobbie — Love this e30 owned by ‘Wobbie’

bmw_e30_stephen — If I’m not mistaken Steve of the Scraped Crusaders took home best e30

VAG

Obviously the heart of any good euro show is a copious amount of vehicles under the VAG umbrella and Eurokracy didn’t fail to deliver.

mk3_jetta_2 — Another one of those color combinations I would have never thought would work so well… Chop Shop touch I guess

stance_dubs_1 — VW owners are really serious about their tucked and shaved bays as displayed by this supercharged Jetta representing for Stance Dubs

stance_dubs_2 — The exterior is just as clean as the bay

cage_2 — The euro hatch game isn’t bad either…

mk4_golf — Does Scmidtt still do those crazy videos where they drive around directly on the wheel?

mkv_air_society — The rear fitment on this looks pretty aggressive

fender_wear — Looks like rear quarters are now wear items to some people

lineup4 — That’s Neils Car in the foreground

mkv_neil — You guys probably remember it from his feature

mkv_golf2 — Neil used to rock a set of these Alphards himself actually

scraped_crusaders — The Scraped Crusaders

mkIv_as — Not sure what wheels those are but I don’t mind them

mkv_jetta_centigrade — Not sure if the grey below the grill is permanent but I like it

mk_6_golf — This generation is slowly but surely growing on me as they get lower and lower

mk_6_gli — In a few years I can see being really used to them

browny_1 — This is probably my favorite currently

browny2 — Recently featured in a video on Air Society

Big thanks to Neil for covering the event, and euro fans rejouce because Neil is going to be helping out with the Euro content on the site in the near future.

The only french words I know are bonjour and tabernac that’s enough to make it by next year right…?
