It was a nice sunny day on Wednesday June 15 to head up to the weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca meets. With the rain finally deciding to let up for a night, it was nice to get out there and check out some rides. Actually, it was a little too sunny out as you can tell by some of my pictures, and was getting hard to fight the sun and the shadows, so I gave up and went inside to eat, only to come back outside with it being cloudy again. Here are a few shots that turned out, all the rest [...]
iM Event Coverage: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Meet – June 5, 2013
There was quite a turnout this past week for the Beyond.ca meet! Unfortunately I didn’t capture too many photos this time around but I hope you can get an idea of what was present. If I missed your car, I’m sorry! I would like to mention though that on this particular Wednesday, we had a visit from a few Calgary police officers. They arrived in their cars and took a few laps of the parking lot to see what was going on. Nothing was ‘wrong’ so they happily chatted to a few owners and then went on their way. We [...]
iM Highlight : Jules Cragg’s Ford Focus Zx5
If there were any words that you could use to describe Jules’ Focus when it first rolls up, “Smitten” would have to be one of them. A Street Appearance Package front and rear bumper set, along with an RS Style spoiler and a mix of other customized bits really set off the initial impression of the car, and really differentiate it from your “average” Focus. As a Ford fan through and through (she actually has the iconic Ford “mustang” tattooed on her arm, and her daughter bears the name “Eleanor”), the Focus was an ideal platform to start building her [...]
iM Highlight: Lani’s Mk4 Jetta Vr6
One of my major goals while writing for illmotion was to bring as much euro content to the website as possible. It wasn’t long ago that I shot this beautiful example of a properly done Mk4 Jetta. One of the coolest features of this car is the completely original Votex body kit from VW. If any of you are familiar with Votex, you know how hard it is to find a clean example. Another cool feature about the car is that it was featured on Euro Tuner some years ago. While the car has remained virtually the same since the [...]
iM Event Coverage: Stretch & Poke’s 4th Annual “Fitted” 2013
On May 25, 2013 Stretch & Poke held their 4th annual “Fitted Lifestyle Event”, showcasing the creme de la creme of stanced/modified cars coming out of Toronto and surrounding areas. For the past three years, Stretch & Poke hosted their Fitted event in Downsview Park (Toronto, Ontario). With the Fitted Lifestyle Event becoming more and more popular every year and cars attending by the masses, this year’s event was held at a much larger venue at the Brampton Fairgrounds in Caledon, Ontario. Our “illmotion East” Photographer and Level One representative Galen Wan (aka Gawa) was in attendance and was more [...]
iM Event Coverage: Calgary Firebird Club’s Show and Shine 2013
May 26th, 2013 was the latest edition of the Calgary Firebird Club’s annual show and shine. Held in the south Hooters’ parking lot, a nice assortment of cars and trucks arrived. While there were many Firebirds and Trans Ams on site, other Pontiac models and even other makes were there too, to take advantage of the nice weather and to help raise money for the Children’s Wish Foundation. Bill attended to show his Pontiac and also to capture some photos of the vehicles present, as it’s a different assortment than we are used to seeing at events such as Driven and the weekly [...]

With Driven 2013 now over a week behind us, we may look at some of the finer details of what was brought out and wrap up our coverage of the event.

iM Event Coverage: Driven 2013 Calgary (Part 4)
To add to our coverage of Driven 2013, here are some photos from a little earlier. The day of the show we arrived well before the starting time of 1, as there was still much to do. After making sure the cars were ready I then wandered the floor and took some pictures before the crowds started coming in. The lighting wasn’t the best at this time but I had a great chance to see what was present and not have to worry about shots being blocked. The car under wraps above is the Maserati from ZR, as seen in [...]

iM Event Coverage: Driven 2013 Calgary (Part 2)
Gonna keep things moving with Part 2 of our iM Event Coverage for Driven 2013. We’re not even halfway there with the pictures taken from this day so be sure to stay tuned for much more during the week!

Anyways, we hope you enjoy more from Driven! Here’s Part 2…
