Event Coverage: Oktoberfest 2011

Oct 24, 2011

With winter just around the corner ChopShop decided to send the 2011 season off properly with a charity BBQ (proceeds to the Canadian Cancer Society and the Food bank) called Oktoberfest.

The somewhat unseasonably nice weather lead to a great turn out and because this wasn’t a show the atmosphere was super laid back which made it a great way to kill a couple of hours on a fall day.

I spent way more time shooting the breeze with the ChopShop guys at this event than taking photos so forgive me if I missed a car or two, but once mid/old school bmx conversations get rolling they are hard to stop.

lineup — Lineup on the left had side of the lot

scraped_crusaders — I parked with the Scraped Crusaders for the day

vw_mazda — Two-tone Jetta on Audi fat fives, good look

ohdear — Hitting a deer is high up there on the list of things I want to never happen

905 — This cars at nearly all of the events I attend, trooper

bishop — My friend Dave's Audi on his recently picked up S4 wheels

audi_yel_front — Whenever I convince myself I don't like a certain color car one comes along that changes all that

audi_yel_rear — Great fitment, great height and overall choice of modifications

mooner_front — Mooner's Civic stopped a lot of people in their tracks

s10 — This speed bump was getting hammered all day

jetta_ccw — Would not change a single thing

porsche_jetta — All the talking made me more or less miss this 930, but I think I have some photos of this Jetta coming from another event

josh — Shout out to Josh as he was one of the many people putting in work behind the scenes on this event

mk4_golf — The Volkswagen communities secret stash of Work Wheels continues to grow

golf_bagged — I see this car commuting every now and again very nice

calvin — Calvin rocking his Ocean Blitz decal proudly

duece_coupe — This guy cruised by, perhaps on his way to the Canadian Tire up the road that often has meets

jeff_front — Jeff's car which was recently featured on Stance Nation

jeff_rear — Totally deserved the feature it got as it is a great build

jeff_turn — Jeff is a firm believer of ride low park lower because his ride height and drive height are very close

put_it_in_h — Perhaps my favorite car of the day

put_it_in_h2 — Check the fan page for a link to the build on this, tons of work put in

If you didn’t come out this year be sure to mark the end of October 2012 now so you don’t miss next years.

So long 2011 season, my summers come off tomorrow.

(Event coverage from last weeks Squeaky Clean show will be later this week)

Looks like it was a chill event. Nice mix of new and old. No pics of the shop?
