iM Event Coverage: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca – September 12,…

Got a set of pictures from last nights meet, its getting harder and harder to shoot out there with it getting dark so fast, so I apologize once again for the crappy quality pictures. Try to make it out to these meets as there isn’t much time left in the season.

And for those of you that don’t know, the 5th Annual 403 Honda/Beyond OG/Everyone SuperMeat is on September 26th, 7-10pm. Hope to see you guys there! More info: HERE

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

The month of September is upon us, which pretty much signals the end of the summer, the start of fall, and impending coming of a automotive enthusiasts least favorite season: winter. You can feel it getting colder and colder here in the evening and night, but that still will not stop a bunch of people from showing up to the weekly meets. Grabbed a few pictures while we were at it, please excuse some of the quality, it was getting quite dark very quickly.

Enjoy, and see you next week!











And then there is this: a Honda S2000 with an Amuse wide body kit. I first saw it at night a few days ago, and words cannot do justice to how well this car looks. The owner has been without this car all summer while it was being completed, and gets it back with a little bit of time left to enjoy it, so I had to post a few pictures of it.


iM Event Coverage: Prostate Cancer Show & Shine

This past Canada Day the people over at Prostate Cancer Canada Network held their 4th Annual Show & Shine at Grey Eagle Casino. With the sun beading down for a majority of the morning the show grew to a size of about a 100 cars. Ranging from classics to exotics, it was a good mix and a sign that summer was here in full force! Now without further a due here are the pictures:

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!

Exotica Mania!

Hey guys, Jeff Chin here signing in from Edmonton. It’s been awhile since I posted on here so I don’t expect anyone to remember me but however if you do, please write a comment! 🙂

My absence on here was due to the lack of photoshoots with import cars since this is what iM focus primarily on. I did a couple shoots of imports but we’ll talk about those next time. Meanwhile I’ve been keeping busy with shooting exotics for my buddy David Lee owner of Avant Garde Motorsports

I am very fortunate I get to shoot cars of this caliber; exotic cars really ignite my passion for cars ever since I was a young boy. They stir your soul. Who had a Lamborghini Countach/Diablo or Ferrari F40 poster in their room when they were young? I know I did. Getting up close and personal with them is truly something very special.

Anyways enough with the chit chat and let’s get on to the goods I’ve got here for iM today:

1st off we got a Rosso Vik (Candy apple) color ‘08 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster. I never liked red Lambo’s until I saw this. Gorgeous.

Back off.

You mess with the bull you get the horns.

Italian Job

Next is a ’07 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. The sound of the V12 is just intoxicating, it has the same engine block found on the Enzo Ferrari.

The Beast is asleep.

Little Italy.

Perfectionist.

Respect your elders.

Tastefully Tasteful Taste.

And finally we have the all mighty American supercar, ’06 Ford GT Heritage Edition. What a beautiful piece of machine. This particular car is rolling on aftermarket Dymag rims, the barrel is carbon fiber. Same rims used on the Koenigsegg CCX. Hard to imagine this is a 40ish year old design (1964), sure there are a few new designs in this modern day GT but the shape looks back to the original. Another 40 years and this car will still look amazing. Timeless design will always look timeless.

Gulf spill.

GT Forty.

Multicultural.

Ferrari VS Ford, the rivalry just reignited. Which would it be?
I’d pick the Ford because it is man and machine. We’re all car guys right? Nothing beats a clutch and shifting your own gears even if it is slower then flappy paddles. There’s so much computer in the Ferrari, it almost seems… dare I say, soulless? Don’t get me wrong the Ferrari is a damn amazing machine. But at the end of the day I think the Ford is more beautiful and wins my heart.

The Beauty & The Beast

And that’s it for this post. Figure I make it a big post for my long absence haha.

Till next time,

iM Flashback: ZR Auto Track Day

We all miss the summer, I know everyone thats reading this does. Can’t wait for it to get nice out again and put the WRX back into summer mode. As much as I love blasting through the snow with her in winter mode, I love how she looks in summer mode.

Which got me thinking… how do drivers of exotics do it? I don’t know if I could wait a whole winter to drive my expensive ass car again. It spends most of its life hidden in a garage somewhere or stored.

I started digging back in my pics to look at exotics, and I came across the pics I took at the ZR Auto Track Day back in October. Corey posted some awesome pics of the cars on the track that day, but I figured I’d post a few of the ones I got since I was looking at them and wanted to share.

Check out Corey’s post -> iM Event Coverage: ZR Auto Track Day

Everybody loves exotics, and in reality, who doesn’t? But you know who loves them more? People that can afford them. So how do you live when you know you’ve gotta put your car away for over 6 months? I guess this is how they get it out of their system… by beating on them and using them to their full potential on the track before they have to put them away.

And then we thought that was it. It was late in the day, people were all starting to leave. Zahir (of ZR Auto) had taken the black Ferrari F40 home, so that was that. A few of us stuck around since we had nothing better to do. And then we heard what sounded like an monster, and tried to figure out what would make such a menacing noise. Looks like Zahir had another trick up his sleeve, and came back an hour later, and pulled up into the pits:

See that kid on the left of the picture looking at me funny? Its cause he just finished seeing me jump four feet back because Zahir fired up the Enzo a moment before I took the shot (Prashant can verify the distance of my jump). Seriously, when I was setting up this shot, the car was full frame:

As much as the F40 is my favorite Ferrari of all time, the Enzo is a sight to see and hear on the track:

Hope to see these cars again back on the track this year, and be sure that we will be there to capture them for you guys again.
