Driven 2012

It’s that time again – with Driven making its return to Calgary after being absent last year, there’s nothing more exciting than coming together again at the Olympic Oval.

In 2010 – illmotion debuted and came out with a bang and we’ve only been growing since then. We’re happy to say that we’re coming back and we want all of you to come by and check it out! We’ve got our lovely friends Naomi Sayo and Steph Ly to accompany us in our booth, so you’ll definitely want to come say hi to them and get some goodies. We’ve got a bunch of new decals and colorways, including our new logo you might’ve seen on the Sunday School poster. For those of you that wanted a lanyard and never got one – we’ll have a few left for you guys to grab, and finally – some new illmotion carabiners we’ll release the day of the show!

We’re also happy to announce that we’ve chosen to support The Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation once again. So on Saturday, when you purchase any of our items you’ll also be helping out all the kids out there that deserve to live the life every child should. So, help us help the kids – proceeds from Saturday will go straight to them!

*PS – this Friday, we will be holding a draw for a pair of FREE Driven tickets on Facebook. All you have to do is head to our page and “Like” the Driven post and we will announce the winner Friday morning.

The countdown is on, and we know it’s going to be an awesome show. Come by and say hi!

iM Event Coverage: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Meet – May…

Another car season in full swing can only mean one thing:  the return of the 403 Honda/Beyond.ca weekly Wednesday meets!  Quite a diverse bunch of cars showed up, and nice to see what was new with all the rides, and new rides in general.  Didn’t get that many pictures, but as it starts to get busier every week, we will try to get more and more photos and keep things diverse.

If you feel like attending, these are held every Wednesday if the weather is decent at the top rear parkade of Chinook Centre/Mall.

Enjoy for now!
















BIG FOIG!!!

So call me maybe!

 

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet – July 13, 2011

Another week brings another post with pics from the weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet. There was a threat of rain, which stopped people from showing up, but luckily only a few drops hit us at Chinook. Hopefully the weather is better and we see everyone for the next one!

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet – July 6, 2011

Another week, and another busy 403 Honda/Beyond Meet at Chinook Centre. Lots of cars out this week, and a bunch that don’t normally show up, so it was a good time had by all. Weather was great this week, so that helped out a lot. Here are a bunch of pics:

Even my goddaughter knows whats up with the NSX:

“Yes Kylah, its rolling on Volk TE-37s…”

Before I finish this post, I do need to address a major concern that a few of our members have noticed close to the end of the meets. If you bring any food or drink out to the meet or go inside to grab something, please pick up after yourselves. There is a lot of bottles, cups, and general garbage that gets left behind whenever the meet is done. I realize the garbage can is a little bit of a walk away, but the staff at Chinook kindly let us use the parkade to meet on Wednesdays, lets show them a little bit of respect, and at least keep the place clean. I’d hate for us to lose a spot to meet because people leave a mess.

Weather permitting, we will see you all next week!

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet – June 29, 2011

I know its a little late, but here are some pics from last weeks 403 Honda/Beyond meet. I apologize, it wasn’t that busy last week, and I was kinda lazy/tired from work and didn’t take that many pictures, but here are a few anyways. See everyone at the next one!

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet – June 22, 2011

With the recent end of the hockey season and finally a nice clearing for the weather, our weekly meets have resumed. It’s so sick how the turnouts lately have been quite large and people are bringing out their rides and sharing their effort. Unfortunately, it gives us more work to do to take these pics, but in the end it helps make for a unique post every week.

Lots of crazy cars this week. Let’s keep this up and bring all your friends!

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet – May 11, 2011

Once again, we have our weekly beyond meet and it only continues to get bigger. This was my first time out this year and I have to say, it was nice to see so many legit cars coming out nowadays. Compared to last year, where we would see maybe 10-15 cars every week filling up one row, we’re getting to 4 and maybe even 5 rows some nights.

One thing I’d also like to say is that it seems that everyone has really stepped their game up over the last few seasons which is awesome to see. Nice parts, nicely kept cars, new things to see.. I think that’s what our car scene needs.

Lastly, like all of the posts we’ve had about the beyond meets.. We just want to stress that good behavior at the meets is expected. Last night was a good night for everybody minus the guys that think letting ‘er rip down the ramp is still cool. Let’s keep this up and make it a good time for everyone.

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet – May 4, 2011

Well, I’m glad we had a more behaved crowd last Wednesday. Also, it was nice to see a few of the Beyond ballers come out, as well as a few OGs. As well, the meets are getting pretty busy, which is good to see. Hope the trend continues!

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet – April 27, 2011

Here’s some pics from the 403 Honda/Beyond Meet from April 27, 2011. In my last meet blog entry, I re-iterated that we are privileged to be allowed to park at the Chinook Centre parkade and hang out every week, and would like everyone on their best behaviour so we can continue to be welcomed there. Unfortunately, a Beyond member decided to do just the opposite. The result: he was banned from Beyond.ca. We here at illmotion do not take this lightly either. Please behave.

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Chinook Meet – April 20,…

Despite being somewhat still chilly out, last Wednesdays 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Meet was surprisingly busy. There was an awesome turnout, it was great to see lots of cool cars out, and tons people wondering around. I unfortunately was inside eating when (from what I’ve heard) a bunch of cops showed up. Apparently someone reported a big fight going on, but after some clarification that there was no fight that occurred, they left. With that, comes a reminder/public service announcement: We are fortunate enough that Chinook Centre security is cool with us being up there, please don’t ruin it for us by showing off. Please drive slowly through the parkades (especially up and down the ramp), no loud music, no burnouts, no erratic behaviour.

I tried to get as many pics as I could of all the rides, but can only fit so many on this post, so there are more here: MORE PICS

Hope you enjoy the pics, and if you’re in the Calgary area, we’d love to see you out next week! As usual, weather pending, these meets happen every Wednesday from 7-9:30 at the upper rear parkade of Chinook Centre.
