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

It was a gorgeous night out for the last 403 Honda/Beyond.ca at Chinook, and that meant a really awesome turnout, the best turnout we’ve seen all season. Hopefully the meets stay as busy as they have been, if not busier!

Here’s a few of the many shots I took. To see the rest, check out the set on our Flickr stream: HERE

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

Another week has gone by, and that means another edition of the weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Meet! Its nice to see these meets getting busier and busier as the weeks go by and the weather starts cooperating. Its nice to see cars that come every week, and see how they progress as the season goes by. Its also been great in the fact that the cars are getting more and more diverse.

Here’s a quick taste of some of the cars that were out this week, for lots more shots, check out the set on our Flickr stream: HERE

You can almost feel it in the air. The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer, and the cars that have been hiding are starting to come out. The season is almost upon us, and for a handful of people, it already has. And that means the 403 Honda/Beyond.ca weekly meets are starting to get into full swing. I’ve been to a few already, and they’ve been starting to get busier and busier. Here are a few snaps I took that somewhat darker night, then it got cold, so I put the camera away:

iM Event Coverage: 2013 Calgary International Auto Show

A bunch of us got to check out the Calgary International Auto Show that rolls into town every year. All the dealerships bring in a bunch of cars to the show, and its basically a big showoff of all the automakers cars, and then some. Didn’t take too many pics, and excuse the randomness, but here are a few of the cars that caught my eye.

VIP Accord in the Honda Booth. Not too bad in execution, it seems weird being an Accord, but they tried. Check out the baller VIP tray and seat stitching. Not sure what I think of the exhaust though.

Honda Gear prototype. Kinda neat, EG Civic sized. Obviously prototype since the wheels, calipers, and rotor were all one piece.
null

Fisker Karma, the solar panel roof stands out more on this color than on the dark color they had last year.
null

Bronze Aston Martin, such a gorgeous color.
null

McLaren booth.
null

The color on this Lamborghini was easily my favorite colored car at the show. Looks a little bit darker in person, but it was a flat grey with a clearcoat.
null

Crazy race FR-S in the Scion booth. Flared out, gutted interior, and some makeshift aero. Taillights look so much better all red, thats how they should’ve come.
null
null
null

BMW M6 Gran Coupe in Frozen Silver. The color is so subtle, yet so captivating.
null

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. Love this body style.
null

Chrome wrapped Lambo in the ZR Auto booth. Are we in Dubai? Not a bad idea, but the wrap itself doesn’t look too good, seems like it would scratch and scuff easily.
null

Plasti-Dipped FRS in the Matrix Motorsports booth. Wild color, and sick headlights, I just don’t like the feel and texture of Plasti-Dip, seems too rough.
null

And last but not least, the Volkswagen Performance Booth! This one is special because out very own JC was manning this booth. He was given the task of taking this Golf, and outfitting it with a bunch of Volkswagen accessories.

iM Event Coverage: World of Wheels 2013

This past weekend (February 22-23, 2013) marked the 47th Annual World of Wheels in Calgary, Alberta. The World of Wheels show heralds many vintage classic and domestic vehicles that we all know and love, and also has it’s fair share of imports which we are accustom to seeing at shows such as Driven. One of the main reasons we love attending the World of Wheels however, is the fact that it is one of those shows that you gain more and more of an appreciation for every year that you attend. The reasoning behind this is because you get a real eye-opening sense of the true passion and dedication that fellow car enthusiasts have for their automobiles, and it’s certainly evident by the way that their vehicles are displayed, for the general public to see. Not only that, but the respect that these enthusiasts have for one another when competing at the World of Wheels, is quite amazing and truly inspiring.

For those who may have missed out on this event this past weekend, here’s a closer look at the 47th annual World of Wheels, and we definitely cannot wait to check out this show again next year!

Let’s move on to pictures from the show:

iM: The Re-Up 2012 (Driven)

Without a doubt one of the biggest events for illmotion this year was Driven 2012. With Driven 2012 coming back to Calgary for the first time since 2010 we wanted to show the city what we’ve been up to the past 2 years since Driven’s absence. A big thank you once again to our friends Naomi Sayo and Steph Ly for coming out and kicking it with us, and thank you to all the homies who came out and repped with us! Not only was this a great day for the car community to chill under one roof, but sales from illmotion merchandise as well as sales from posters sold by Naomi & Steph were donated to the Alberta Children’s Hospital! And this was possible all because of your guys’ support! Thank you guys again!

Let’s take a look back at the iM Film & Event Coverage we covered from this day!

Well the day we had all been waiting for is done and gone with a blink of an eye. The show was a huge success and there were a ton of nice cars that have gone through so many changes over the last year and some that are relatively familiar that had gone through a refreshing switch up as well. We were proud to be a part of it and we were happy to see everyone that got the chance to stop by the booth!

So, to kick off part 1 – we’ll start off with our booth. First off, we want to give a huge thanks to everybody that joined us this year and we wouldn’t have had the booth we did without you guys, and of course, we wouldn’t have been able to take home the best team award either! Congratulations to everybody that took home awards as well – each one was well deserved.

Warning – lots of pictures for you guys to see.

And we’ll give you guys a break..

I wish we got the name of this guy, and if you’re reading this – let us know! He came and showed us his slammed skateboard that he wanted to put our new decal on. Thought this was dope as hell! Thanks man!

Definitely one of the best cars of the show. So clean and perfect.

The huge crowd to see Dannie Riel!

With so many nice cars this year at driven it’s tough to get coverage of everything, but here is one last post to wrap up our coverage. We hope everyone had fun at the show this year, it was a huge success and we can’t wait for Driven 2013.

iM: The Re-Up 2012 (2nd Annual Sunday School Show…

2012 Also marked the year for our second annual Sunday School Show & Shine. A huge thanks to everyone who came out on this super hot day! We can’t wait to see you guys again for the illmotion Sunday School Show & Shine in 2013! Let’s relive Sunday School 2012 with the video done by illmotion’s own Corey O’Hara and look at some pics snapped by Jason Hoang!

Once again, that time of year has come and gone. Our second annual Sunday School Show & Shine turned out great and we couldn’t have done it without every single person showing up to come hang out and show some support. It’s great to see more and more people coming out to participate and even spectate all the cars that come out. Our show is more about coming out and having a good time – we don’t care what you drive or what you’ve done to your car, it’s the fact that people come together to share the same common interest as everybody else.

A huge and special thanks to beyond.ca for collaborating with us this year and helping us make this happen – we couldn’t have done it without you guys!

Another big thanks to our DJ “NewGoldWatch!” – JT Rebalbos for providing the music all day in the blistering heat! Always a pleasure to have you out. And thanks to the FloorWookies/On2Logic Crew for giving us some entertainment with your break dancing throughout the day. Props to you guys for doing what you do!

Finally – thank you to everyone that registered and came out to help support us and the automotive scene we all love so much. We had a great turnout this year and we hope that you guys will join us again next year to make it even better!

Onto the pics! We will post as many as we can… but the rest of the set can be found on our flickR page

iM Film: Sunday School Show & Shine 2012

August 5th, 2012 marked the second annual illmotion Sunday School Show & Shine. This year, there was a couple of us out and about shooting video, and with a larger turn out compared to the year before, it did take a little more time to sort through the hours of footage we obtained throughout the course of the day.

Finally we are proud to present you with another iM Film featuring footage from the event! A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who helped make Sunday School 2012 a great success, and we surely cannot wait to see you guys again next year!

We hope you enjoy the video!
