iM Event Coverage: MADD Canada’s Quarry Park & Polish…

On Sunday, September 9th 2012, the crew headed out to Quarry Park to support MADD Canada’s “Quarry Park & Polish” held in Calgary. Since illmotion started in 2010, this has been one of our favorite shows to attend and support as it brings such an eclectic array of vehicles ranging from imports, domestics, classics, and exotic super cars that we never usually get to see on an every day basis. What makes this show and shine extra special from other shows is the chance we get as “illmotion” not to promote our brand, but rather just kick it with our homies and make some new ones, ultimately enjoying time together as a community and at the same time, raising awareness to bring an end to impaired driving.

This year was exceptionally different from the last two events because the general public was given an opportunity to take a little tour of the Cardel building, with it’s luxurious lobby. The Cardel building even had it’s own theatre, which was very cool to hang out in and check out.

Another awesome feature at this year’s Quarry Park & Polish was a look inside the Calgary Police Service’s CHECKSTOP bus, which for sure will be our first and last time checking out. We certainly hope you guys would never ever have to set foot in one of these buses due to driving under the influence; definitely not worth it.

With Calgary’s weather getting colder and colder as the days go by, the Quarry Park & Polish show held by MADD Canada was definitely a great event to close the season out! Many thanks to MADD Canada for putting this on for everyone! See you guys at 2013’s Quarry Park & Polish!

iM Event Coverage: Quarry Park & Polish 2011

On Sunday, September 11th 2011, the illmotion crew got the whips shined up and ready to show at MADD Canada‘s “Quarry Park & Polish 2011” auto show event. AMEC, Quarry Park, & Cardel Homes hosted the event to provide more awareness of impaired driving by supporting MADD Canada and the many victims affected by driving under the influence.

With awesome weather (for most of the show anyways) the event brought a very eclectic group of makes and models. Everything from hot rods & classics, domestics, imports, one-off custom builds and even an awesome display of luxury & exotic vehicles were on hand to support MADD Canada and their efforts.

What the crew loves most about this show is appreciation everybody has for each other’s vehicles but more importantly, the impact a community can make on making people aware of impaired driving and it’s consequences.

Shout out to AMEC, Quarry Park, & Cardel Homes for hosting an amazing gathering of vehicles and supporting a great cause, MADD Canada. We cannot wait until next year to kick it with some friends and familiar faces, and of course meeting some new ones.

Check out some pics from the event:

illmotion @ Quarry Park & Polish Part 3

So we’re trying to give you a taste of all the stuff that was there, so here’s a third post of the Park and Polish with even more stuff.



















illmotion @ Quarry Park & Polish Part 2

As you can tell by the title, this is part 2 of the Quarry Park & Polish that happened in Quarry Park on Sept. 12, 2010. This was the 2nd annual event and it was in support of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). The event had a great turn out as I’m sure you could tell from PART 1.

Jason did a great job in covering the illmotion area, and I had the pleasure of taking a stroll around and getting some snaps of things you don’t get to see too often on illmotion, or on the streets for that matter.

Below are the pics of the treats we got to see, and hopefully next year we can double this show in size and have a great show as well and support a great cause.





















Here’s a little excerpt from an email we received from MADD Canada:
“With your generous donation of the battery charger and jumper cables draw prize, the advertising and providing many exciting cars for the show we successfully finished our 2nd annual Quarry Park and Polish fundraiser. There were some fantastic vehicles there; we exceeded the amount of cars from last year.

We always feel so blessed by the participation, partnership and generosity we get from the communities. Your generosity made a big difference to ensure the success of this event. In total we raised just over $3300.00 dollars that will go directly to our programs to provide support for victims of impaired driving and help us to raise public awareness of the dangers and consequences of this very preventable act. MADD needs caring and dedicated individuals such as you to help in our fight to provide safe roads for all.”

illmotion would just like to extend it’s appreciation to everyone who came out that day or purchased our special MADD Edition decals from the store. Thank-you for showing support for us and more importantly MADD Canada.

illmotion x MADD @ Quarry Park

Yesterday afternoon we had the pleasure of attending the 2nd annual park & polish that was backed up by MADD Canada (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). This would have really been our first official unofficial meet with whoever wanted to come and participate with us.

These kinds of events are important to us simply because we are able to participate in events for a good cause. We want to be able to showcase our efforts and have it pay off in the end as well.

The morning started with meeting anybody that wanted to participate at Ikea half an hour before registration began. At first, there was 6 of us then 7 then 10 and by that time it looked like that was it. So we made our way down.. As the day went on, familiar faces as well as newcomers came by and parked with us. By the end of the day, we had taken up close to half of one side of the lot which was awesome because it was such a nice day to be out.

Thanks in advance to everyone that came and showed with us as well as anybody that might have stopped by to take a look at what was going on! See you guys next year. I’ll let the pictures do the talking..


The rest is gonna be really picture heavy…
