Legend has it that, a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away (Ste-Dorothee is far for me…), existed the largest car meet in the area. These meets began sometime last summer, and sadly enough, suffered the same fate, but much much sooner this year.

Due to a few immature car owners, the large parking lot around the Ste-Dorothee Mega-Center is no longer hosting (what I was told) 1000+ cars on a weekly basis. A time for car friends & fans to come together and hang out was quickly spoiled by a certain few. A certain few who thought that acting malevolent by doing burn-outs would garner praise.

On that note, I would just like to send a general message to any car & automotive fan in Montreal:

Please act responsibly, and help us keep our local meets going, instead of destroying the community some people have worked strongly to build these past few years.

All the drama aside, here are a few photos of our Local Hero, taken at the now “private” JDM Monday meets, which will be at different undisclosed locations every week.

This Sunday May 6th, many BMW owners gathered at a familiar local landmark.  Being a centralized meeting spot for Montreal and it’s surrounding suburbs and shores, it is home to different meets throughout the week.

BMW fanatics decided to make today it’s un-official season opener, and I was glad to be able to meet other enthusiasts. Here are the few photos I took:

Last Monday was Park Avenue BMW’s F30 3-series official launch. Gotsoul’s DJ @ToddyFlores was in charge of the soundtrack of the night, with his DJ booth right above the main entrance.

Hors-d’oeuvres and wine was served throughout the night, as guests admired the sixth generation of the flagship luxury sedan.

The Montreal car scene seems to be growing more and more every year. Last year, Julep Tuesdays re-established an ever-growing VW/Audi community and (not so JDM) JDM Mondays @ Mega-Center Ste-Dorothee showed that it is possible to have a large amount of enthusiasts together, no matter the make/model/origin/style of the car.

The Wednesday South Shore meets at Wal-Mart Dix30 seems to be kicking off well, and despite the cold weather last night, there was still at least 100 cars that attended.  I had just stopped by to meet up with a few buddies, but I’ll definitely be there on a regular basis, probably taking many more photos.

Enjoy this one of Mike’s special edition 1st gen Miata:

Here’s a quick shot of DJ Toddy Flores, with his set-up above the main-entrance at the BMW Park Avenue (Brossard) new 3-series F30 launch.

More photos (and videos?) should be uploaded soon.

Evan’s 2008 WRX feels right at home.

A few snapshots from a track day at Mecaglisse Québec back in September.  It was a perfect day to go lapping; it was even a lot of fun driving there on HWY-125 with the VW.

Here are photos of fellow v-dubber, and good friend, Reyem’s bagged B5 Passat wagon. I had a chance to take a few before he left for the H2O International event.

He custom built his own bag set-up for his daily driver. You might ask yourself “why a bagged Passat?”  Not only is it a head-turner, but it comes very practical when driving his wife and 3 children around.  

For an experienced, honest mechanic, you can come see him at Merson Garage. Though he is a true dubber at heart, and can work on your vehicle (euro or not), often times finding an accommodating time if the usual “business hours” are not too convenient for you.  

Just don’t interfere with any of his family time.

If you haven’t watched the promo trailer posted last week, the guys at Piicture.com have been working hard to organize Rolling Shot Madness 3. VW, Audi, and Euro fans met at Unitronic’s homebase to hang out, as we waited for our departure at 11:00pm, when 200+ cars hit the highways of Montreal.

I had the great pleasure of working with my man Guillaume Boily (also from FuelRiders and StaticSociety) as we went around taking photos, experimenting with light, and trolling hard enough to make Charlie Sheen proud.

Jokes aside, when it was time to go, it was down to business.  We hopped into Boily’s stanced rabbit, Victor riding shotgun as the videographer, and myself taking the whole rear-seating to be able to take photos on each side.
