  • Granville Island Photo Meet

    Granville Island Photo Meet

    Last night, our friend Jimmy quickly organized a casual photo meetup to photograph some cars. Granville Island is always a nice backdrop for car photos and the lot we were in is a popular spot at night. What started as a small gathering doesn’t always end up that way through word of mouth. We had a great showing of at least 20 cars. Lately there have been more and more casual car meetups being organized. Be sure to check out this Revscene thread to see what meetups are being organized. If you’re local or just in town, I encourage you to come check out cars, take some photos, and chat with other car enthusiasts.

     

    The owner of Blackmarkers clothing store brought his supercharged Honda S2000 that was built by The Speed Syndicate.

    Our friend Alex drove out his Datsun 240z, which may be the last time we get to see it. It may be sold this week and we look forward to see what Alex picks up next.

  • The Autumn – 2001 BMW 325i

    The Autumn – 2001 BMW 325i

    Kevin Yong came to us for a photoshoot of his 2001 BMW 325i, a car that he came upon on Craigslist, the source of everything good and bad. It had only 60,000 km on it which was rare for a 6 year old car at the time. We’ve seen pictures of his ride before as Kevin himself is a photography enthusiast. We loved the stance of the car when we got the chance to see the car live. Our shoot began on an early morning that gave us some great lighting and some beautiful morning fog. We could tell the shoot ahead would bring us some great photos!

  • Practical: Monster – BMW E39 M5

    0-60 in less than five seconds while still having room for 4 passengers and a set of golf clubs. This E39 BMW M5 has a serious split personality. The owner, Jeremy, explains it best. “With a family coming soon, I needed something more practical but still a little fun.” Boasting a 394 BHP 4.9 Litre V8 monster under its hood, its plenty fun!
