Driven 2016: Part 5

The last installment to my Driven coverage. Like every year – it’s been tiring, it’s been long, and it’s been fun. Even though it was an early start for the show this year, everyone came out with their game faces on and really helped put on a great show.

Thank you to all of you that have been sharing my posts, for sending me pictures (that I’ll post shortly!) and most of all, for enjoying them and tagging me in all your stuff. Most importantly, thank you to everyone for bringing your A-game to the show and making this even more enjoyable than the year before.

This post finishes up the rest of the full car shots that I was able to get and some detail shots I got while running around with my 50mm… Enjoy!

The engine bay shot of the STRD Civic… Monster.

IMG_6815 copy

Another shot of Giuseppe’s incredible R32. Seeing his car in pictures is one thing, but the presence that his car has in person is something else. It’s the only R32 that can get me moist – no homo, Giuseppe.

IMG_6893 copy

A really clean IS in the Legit Society booth.

IMG_6894 copy

Another clean widebody Genesis in the Legit Society booth. Everyone’s got bolt on fender flares and I’m over here like “why would I want to cover up those sexy curves?”.

IMG_6895 copy

IMG_6897 copy

R33 Skyline from Legit Society. Not the most popular Skyline chassis around, but it can look good if executed right.

IMG_6899 copy

IMG_6900 copy

I liked this Varis Evo. I feel like it needed a GT wing to balance out the front… But you know me…

IMG_6903 copy

IMG_6905 copy

IMG_6904 copy

Kelvin’s 240SX on white TE37’s. My fave.  IMG_6906 copy

Brandon’s RSX-S on white TE37’s sitting right beside Kelvin’s. Twinsies… Brandon’s RSX-S is exactly how I wanted to build a RSX back in the day. Black with white TE37’s.

IMG_6909 copy

Another shot of Dicken’s Evo X. Great colour combo.

IMG_6910 copy

IMG_6913 copy

Romel’s Celica. God this thing is so clean… Every time I see it, it’s under a car cover tucked away in the corner of the garage with body panels and stuff all over it. Then once a year, it comes out looking like mother fuckin’ Beyonce and shits on the show. Peep his new TRD aero jacket addition up front. JDMMMMM

IMG_6914 copy

Benny’s F20 swapped AE86. Looks exactly the same from the day I shot it centuries ago… I wouldn’t have changed a thing anyway. Perfection.

IMG_6915 copy

IMG_6916 copy

Ricky’s GTI slammed on SSR’s in Spectrum Silver. It’s a shame that they can’t shine like they should indoors. The colour is still one of the best.

PS: did you know – days later, Ricky found hundreds (if not thousands) of baby spiders in his wheel well? Fucking NASTYYYY. It’s for sale now (I’m making the executive decision for him).

IMG_6917 copy

Some shots with my 50mm… Trying to be artsy I guess.

IMG_6918 copy

Can’t forget about Rich who dropped beats all day long. He even took my request to play Clarity. You must always play Clarity at a car show.

IMG_6922 copy

R34…

IMG_6924 copy

ZE40’s… Face 4… Yum.

IMG_6926 copy

Trung’s S2000

IMG_6927 copy

Craft Square

More ZE40’s on Jimmy’s M3

JC and Barb manning the table. Remember – all proceeds (100%!) go to Red Cross!

IMG_6935 copy

Rich AKA Candy Boy.

IMG_6936 copy

Josh’s slammed A4 wagon. I absolutely love Josh’s car.

IMG_6938 copy

Meisters are perfect for this set up.

IMG_6942 copy

Arif’s colour matched fender cut outs.

IMG_6944 copy

Eric’s S15 static on Work T7R’s

IMG_6945 copy

Mugen intake

IMG_6952 copy

Awesome detail all around in this AE86

IMG_6953 copy

IMG_6959 copy

GT wings!!!

IMG_6961 copy

Rocket Bunny. I absolutely love the 350Z and RX7 kitted with RB.

IMG_6965 copy

Whoa. I literally just surprised myself as I scrolled through and saw this pic. I don’t even remember taking this – I didn’t really take as many shots as I should have of my own car… I love it because this is as black and as shiny as it’ll ever be.

IMG_6966 copy

Punit’s GS450H

IMG_6968 copy

Can’t forget about JC’s table set up. Not sure if you guys were able to go around and see it, but this was my favourite table set up from JC so far…

IMG_6970 copy

Sapporo beer and Pocky…

IMG_6971 copy

With some Sushi to go with it. Perfect!

IMG_6972 copy

What Rota’s? NO ROTA’S.

IMG_6975 copy

Nostalgic Hero slap on Benny’s AE86

IMG_6976 copy

IMG_6977 copy

Rear shot of the Honda Beat. Peep that titanium exhaust.

IMG_6981 copy

Alex’s engine bay. Impeccable attention to detail – if you didn’t know, you could easily walk right by all the beauty that is contained in here…

IMG_6983 copy

If you looked closely, you could also see all the Mugen bolts holding everything together. Hell, there are Mugen bolts where you can’t even see them.

IMG_6985 copy

Another shot of that wet wet.

IMG_6987 copy

Another shot of JC and Barb.

IMG_6992 copy

This one is for Errol. A shot of Dannie Riel with my creeper lens…

IMG_7005 copy

IMG_7011 copy

Barb made me grab my perv lens btw so that we could go and get some pics of the bikini competition. We ended up getting there too late and I was all the way at the back so I didn’t get much. But here were the top 3. Sorry guys, no body shots…

IMG_7018 copy

Back to the RB 350Z. Beautiful…

IMG_7019 copy

And a rear quarter shot of the RB RX7

IMG_7022 copy

And one from the front. It was a tight space to get a good shot but it is also worth noting the awesome paint job from Nick Prah once again here…

IMG_7025 copy

One more of my whip.

IMG_7026 copy

And the last few pics on my camera were at the request of Arif. He specifically asked that “lifewithjson guy with no A” to come take some extra shots of his car… The sun was shining through perfectly so why not?

IMG_7028 copy

IMG_7030 copy

A better shot of his new J’s hood.

IMG_7033 copy

And voila.

We are finished!! I think I have just a few more things to post from Driven that isn’t as pic heavy, but those will go up shortly. Thanks for tuning in!
