One of the hottest show car has to be the Queen Street Racing Million Dollar Drag, a BMW E46 M3 CLS drag car by the Ibrahim brothers with almost every components of the car covered in gold.

Gazzanats 2010

This was my first experience with Gazzanats and I pay my respect for the sponsors and organisers who kept this trully well and alive. This kind of event is becoming smaller and lesser around the world due to lack of sponsorships and the level of interest, but what Sprint Auto and Gary Meyers have done is to keep them rolling.

This is the Show N’ Shine of the Skyline Nationals 2010 event. There are plenty of GT-Rs around from R31 to R35. Also appearing in the show were some classic Nissan Skyline and the legendary Winfield Nissan Skyline R31 GT-R of the Group A racing.

Autosalon 2010

Autosalon car show has slowed down dramatically over the years. This is partly due to the fact that the car modifying scenes have slowed as costs for labour and parts are on the increase. Many young people now are buying brand new cars instead of imports due to the more affordable pricing as well as being more fuel efficient.

However, the show is not quite dead yet, but what I did notice though, especially in this show is that these imports are wearing some pretty fancy branded accessories. Gone are the bling bling locally made wheels, and in come the Japanese imported brands like Volks, Works, and many more. These cars also have a much “cleaner” look with no ugly airbrush paint jobs and over killing bodykits.

Crowd numbers have also shrunk but I was there for a good 6 hours to take photos and video and they are now available here.
