Event Coverage: Krown Lakeshore Show & Shine

May 30, 2011

Before Stretch and Poke I swung by the Krown Lake Shore Charity Show & Shine put on by a friend of mine and fellow Toronto Mazda 3 member.

The show was family run and family focused so it had a real positive vibe to it, and it’s always great to see automotive enthusiasts getting behind Sick Kids Hospital as they do incredible things (I am living proof).

The sun was just starting to come back out when I had to leave for Stretch and Poke and the event was really just getting started. From what I’ve read the whole thing went off without a hitch which is great to hear.

Goings on

Like any good show their was food and side entertainment.

atmosphere_entrance — Cars posted up out front of Krown

breakdance_1 — These guys were brave, that is seriously rough ass pavement.

breakdance_2 — They put on another show later that was apparently also ill

Classics

vw_beetle — Always love to see a clean beetle

A few classic guys had rolled up prior to my arrival. I have not spent nearly enough time around classics yet this spring/summer.

chevy_camaro — Well I guess we know who wears the pants!

ford_t_bucket_1 — This cool T bucket pulled up just as I was leaving, couldn't leave it out

ford_t_bucket_3 — One thing I always wondered is how it is to drive with the wheel like that

ford_t_bucket_2 — Next weekend I will be at a huge classic show 🙂

Modern

Being organized by a Toronto Mazda3 Member means that there were a lot of 3s in attendance but some other late models also came out to support the cause.

mazda_3_dave — Dave just beat me out on picking up these Work Wheels about a year back

toyota_mr2 — This car and the RSX above are never too far apart at shows

toyota_camry — Clean Camry on Volks... err Corolla of course..

nissan_skyline — Don't think I have seen this skyline before

mazda_3_riftler — Look my old suspension!

mazda_3_jon — Probably the cleanest early gen hatch on Toronto Mazda 3

mazda_3_floodgatez — Gabe's 2010 with it's devilish grin

mazda_3_flipdaddy — Joe is still dialing in the fitment of those Volks but should look great all said and done

mazda_3_chris — The event organizers personal chariot

mazda_3_2010_sportlines_2 — This is what a 2010 Mazda 3 looks like on 04 Mazda 3 sportlines

mazda_3_2010_sportlines — More people need to get on this...

Hopefully Chris does another next year and I can stick around a little bit longer.

Great pics Dave! Glad you were able to reach, even if it was only for a little while.

@steven i was going to correct that, that xrs also appears to have a headlight retrofit with E55 shrouds. Clean cars none the less 🙂 love the widebody mr2 on super advans.

I keep wondering how much longer white cars will be popular…

Care to explain why/how you’re living proof Dave? If you’d rather not, that’s fine too.
