Another nice weather Wednesday equals another 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Chinook meet. Hopefully the weather keeps getting better. If you try to make it out, then we promise try our best to get out there each week to take pics. Who knows, maybe we’ll find cars that are worthy to be featured on the site!
With the exception of the 20cm of snow we got today, it seems as though the coming of the spring/summer season is imminent. And with that brings the return of the 403 Honda/Beyond.ca weekly meets. Here are a few pictures from the first meet of 2011 (and a preview/debut of a few people’s cars summer mode). Be sure to show up when you can to keep the meets busy and fun and to check out some rides. These meets happen every Wednesday evening at Chinook Centre in the rear upper parkade.
Well, it looks like this may be the last one of this season, its supposed to get cold here by Monday with snow, so if the hardcores are up to it, we will hold them downstairs. If not, you won’t see any meet pictures until next season when it warms up again. Was busier this week than last because it was a bit nicer out, so the turnout was better.
Hopefully the winter meets still continue, and I can get more pics for you guys. If not, it was fun, thanks to everyone for coming out, and hope to see everyone again next season!
Even though it was freezing out, I went out to the weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet at Chinook Centre. For those that don’t know, these meets are held every Wednesday night at the top level of the Chinook Centre rear parkade. I encourage everyone to try to come out and support your local meets, since they help keep our car community alive and motivated.
I tried my best to get some decent pictures with the crappy lighting (or lack of), and my frozen fingers in the 0 degree Celsius night.
I’ll be out again with the camera this week, so come out if you can. It’s forecasted to be 10+ degrees that day, so it should be a bit warmer than the last one. Who knows, maybe we’re looking for our next features while we’re out there! 😉
With the season winding down and the threat of snow looming, the weekly Wednesday night 403 Honda/Beyond.ca meets are getting quieter and quieter. Not many people show up this time of year due to it getting dark out earlier, and getting cold out. But a few people still go. Took my camera and tripod with me to possibly get some practice on something that I’ve been dreading doing because of my epic failures on previous attempts: low light photography.
I guess my pics came out ok, was messing with the settings all over the place, and got some results that I was happy with. And some nice cars showed up tonight too, so I was happy.
Thirsty?
Being a former Tacoma owner, I still have love for them:
But then I went in for a closer look… DAMN!!!
Only driver in the whole parking lot that couldn’t see the lines. It wasn’t that dark, was it?
In so much love with this Audi with the Benz wheels: 
And to finish off, a self-gratifying shot of my car with the preview of how it’ll roll next season… cause I’ve never had a semi-decent stance before!
Oh crap, I almost forgot about a couple cars. Not really important cars, almost didn’t put them up.
But I did anyways since its rare that these two Beyond.ca members would show up.
rage2’s Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series:
JordanLotoski’s Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera:
OK, now I’m done.
Here are a bunch of shots from the Beyond.ca Summer Cruise that was last weekend. The drive through the mountains was a blast and all the nice cars made it that much better.
I didn’t get any rolling shots as most of the trip it was only single lane. But here are some shots from the campsite where everyone stopped off for a few hours to hang out and grab a bite to eat.
The Beyond.ca annual super meet took place last Wednesday at Chinnok Centre. The super meet started when Aldrich felt that the meets weren’t the same as the ones held years ago.
With less than 20 cars showing up weekly he decided to call out all the “OG” members.
With the first super meet being a great success, this continues to be a yearly meet with everyone coming out.
This year was no exception with probably the biggest turn out yet. Almost filling up the entire upper level parking lot.
Here’s a few picture’s from the big meet.
Hopefully the meets don’t die down this year and stay alive.
See you all out there!
Had an opportunity to check out the Beyond.ca meet last week. Since I’ve been contemplating whether or not to buy myself a camera Aldrich let me shoot using his. I apologize for the n00b quality pictures but hey it’s a learning experience and I’ll get better with time.
Thanks to my homie Aldrich from the Whatever’s Clever blog for letting me use his camera!
Speaking of the Beyond.ca meet, The turn out wasn’t as good as I expected (although Canada Day long weekend probably had a lot to do with it) so I want to encourage you all to check them out Wednesdays (every week) when you get a chance! We’d love to meet fellow car enthusiasts and fans of our site!
See you at the meets!
(More pics after the jump!)
For those that have been wondering what’s been up with the lack of updates on ill.motion.com, we want to apologize to you all!
Our reasoning is we’ve all been prepping our cars and getting organized for Calgary’s 2010 Driven show going down June 12th at the Olympic Oval.
That may seem like a lame excuse but most of us just simply have not had the time to browse the web, do photoshoots, and feature some of the sickest cars that you’re accustomed to seeing here.
But don’t worry, we’ll try posting what we can and soon enough we’ll get back to doing what we do best!
Check back on the site for updates and what we’ve got in store for this year’s Driven show.
Save the date!
We hope to see y’all there!
Let’s GO!
