iM: The Re-Up 2013 (Part 5) | DRIVEN 2013
In Part 5 of our Re-Up 2013 Series we would like to bring back Driven 2013. In 2013, we did a 5-part feature so let’s have a look at parts 1-5, and the video made by none other than illmotion’s own Corey O’Hara! Let’s take a trip back to Driven 2013! Instead of saving the video for last like we usually do, we’ll start this Driven 2013 Re-Up off with the video!
To “officially” kick start the 2013 season, Driven made it’s way to the Olympic Oval in Calgary. A little earlier than the previous year, this certainly did not stop everybody from getting their cars ready, some even just MINUTES before the end of roll-in and set up. With over 250 cars coming together under one roof, Driven continues to get better every year as owners/enthusiasts just know that it is the perfect opportunity to showcase what he/she has been hiding over the course of the winter. With that, the quality factor continues to improve as well as participants step it up and come correct every year.
Congratulations to all those who were awarded this year including Devon Mori (RHD EG6), Noel Eggers (S14), Randy Chau (Honda S600), Duncan Yu (Sleeper Civic), Philip Tan (AE86), Derrek Poyntz (Best Engine Dress Up – Integra) and Tommy Daraseng (E92 M3) who represented with illmotion.
We here at illmotion would also like to take this time to thank the beautiful Melyssa Grace for kicking it with us. It was definitely an honor to have you in our booth and we really hope you enjoyed the show as much we did!
Also a big shout out to our own Aldrich Evangelista for providing the beats and DJing for almost 8 hours straight! Amazing work Rich!
Finally, we would like to thank all of you because in all actuality, there would be no “Driven” without the support of you guys as we encourage each other, and practically push each other to get our cars ready to roll for shows like this. Thank you guys for making Driven 2013 a success yet again for our scene! It was definitely awesome seeing some familiar faces and meeting new ones, which is exactly what it’s all about; and what a perfect way to re-introduce the season we call Summer!
Moving on, we do have intense coverage of Driven which will be separated into parts over the next few days, so let’s kick things off with Part 1 of our iM Event Coverage: Driven 2013 Calgary…
Enjoy!
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! With over hundreds in attendance it was definitely quite the task to be able to get coverage of everything so major props to our photographers Corey & Prashant for taking as many photos as they did. Anyways, we hope you enjoy more from Driven! Here’s Part 2…
Another round of pictures of our Driven 2013 coverage. More pics and a video will be coming. But for now here is part 3….
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 Part Three. It was kept a secret until 3PM when the cover was pulled off.
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. To view pictures that weren’t included in Parts 1, 2, 3, & 4 visit out Flickr page HERE.
By looking at the finer details we are able to see the good that all our supporters help us achieve at every event. This year, just as the previous two, we supported the Alberta Childrens Hospital Foundation. All proceeds from the sale of our merchandise, which totaled just under $1000.00, will be donated to the foundation. A huge thank-you goes out to all those who support us through donations and purchases of merchandise. We look forward to the next event where we can see our supporters and once again help the community!

Once again a huge thank-you goes out to each and every one of you for your support over the years! We look forward to seeing you all at the Sunday School Show & Shine on August 18th (More details to come) where we will be supporting another great charity and having a ton of fun!
/// Stay tuned as we wrap our Re-Up 2013 Series with Part 6: Sunday School 2013.
