Photos from Car Shows/Meets

DRIVEN Calgary a couple years ago.

Too many people walking around to make it worthwhile to sit 5 mins for each shot.

Some turned out to be Keeper's though.

Canyon run can be considered a car meet right? ߘ

From the "Brit & Euro" carshow this morning...

1953 MK I Zephyr:

Porsche Type 804, driven by Dan Gurney during the 1962 F1 season. The first and only Porsche F1 car (four examples were built).

Interesting reading about the type 804.
4 built and still all intact.
Beautiful vehicle.

I like the presentation dais. Couple of packs of Oregon pine You've posted similar before I think.

That car has got no tyres - well not practical ones.

No.
No, it has not.

Got practical tires, that is.
How the hell does anyone drive with those?

I see those same fools here in Michigan, and they can't even concieve of
snowbanks and curbs, so I wonder how the hell they're getting around!?
I frequently see those fools getting stuck in snowbanks,
so I have to suspect they're typically involved in gaining money
from illegal sources, as their "jobs" wouldn't normally bail 'em out.

Plus, they can't ever turn off something like 8000 Watts of stereo
sound power with subwoofers cranked up to maximum.
Who're they hoping to impress?
It ain't me, to be sure.

Run yer tiny tires to the rim; I hope you get caught short.

Lol, what?


Believe it or not, there's an art to getting wheels to fit like that. Measuring offsets, figuring out camber settings and tire sizes/brands that will stretch correctly. Then he's either on air suspension or the drop is static and done via coilovers.
I assure you that that is not what a 'drug dealers' car looks like. I can also assure you there's nothing dangerous about what he's doing there, assuming no corners were cut. And judging from the wheels on it, it was done right.

I'd say it's tasteful as far as 'car show' cars go. Your age is showing.

Indeed it is, and I don't argue the point.

More and more often lately, I see such cars lowered to the point of colliding
with the tiniest of pebbles, and I just have to wonder what the owners get
out of it - ?

Not only is it a boatload of cash for the Average Joe to blow in order to get there,
but the careful considerations needed just to drive to work...

Yeah, I don't get it. What's the draw?
It looks like a bastardization of the air-shock/lowrider thing from the 70s,
but is it more than that? I understand the insane amounts spent on
a single wheel, but how does the rest of it fit into the scenario?
And what's the comically-insane camber all about?
