Event Coverage: 2012 Majestics / Luxurious BBQ

Jul 16, 2012

A couple weeks ago Rob from Perfromance Improvments let me know that I should check out the Majestics/Luxurious lowrider BBQ at St Marie Curtis Park West.

Generally the word “Lowrider” is more than enough to get me to come to an event but when you throw in the word ‘barbecue’ along with it I am there in a second.

These events are always a pretty good way to spend an afternoon because they atmosphere is incredibly laid back compared to a lot of other events, and the empahisis always seems to be less on the cars and more on a ‘family’ reunion of sorts, infact if I were to ever to an event for the site I would want it to have a similar vibe to one of these than anything else.

I ended up spending the better part of the day at the Majestics/Luxurious BBQ watching cars from Montreal all the way to Ohio roll in and hop out.

chevy_64_blue_front — I put a similar shot to this on the fanpage from the event

chevy_62_impala_front — Quintessential Lowrider shot

chevy_64_hardtop_1 — One of, if not the only, Impala not on wires

chevy_impala_hated_1 — This looks nearly identical to a model kit released a few years ago

chevy_impala_hated_1_rear_three — The kit allows you to set it up like this too

chevy_hate_2 — Would have loved to see this with the top down

buick_regal_1 — The paint on this was wild, lots of depth, flake, and skulls

chevy_elcamino — Personally I can’t say I have come across many El Camino Lowriders

chevy_elcamanio_rear — While I didn’t see it hop it looked more than capable

chevy_elcamino_far — Shot of the same car from way across the parking lot while I was hiding in the shade

lineup_1 — Impalas on Impalas on Impalas

chevy_impala_lineup — Same group different angle

chevy_66_impala — As soon as I pulled up this ‘~~66(?)~~ 68 caught my eye, hard to miss with the yellow on yellow

gold_exterior — This Gold Impala had an insane amount of work done to it on the inside

gold_interior — I am going to assume one of the monitors in there displays the engine vitals.. but who knows

donk_1 — I thought this was sorta priceless, he looked confused

chevy_aqua_7 — This ’60 came off a trailer and was basically spotless

chevy_aqua_3 — This colour is hard to accuratley capture

chevy_aqua_6 — A bit of a closer look at the motor

chevy_aqua_4 — See the saftey star on the right there? If it is original it is worth a pretty penny.

olds_front — I’m told lowriders are aligned like this so that when they hop ball joints to blow up

buick_regal_5 — Up on 3 back to where it was parked

chevy_caprice — I’ve always kind of liked these done up like this… fits

hop_6 — Both could hold their own hopping

buick_regal_4 — The mural work on this one was unreal

buick_regal_3 — Perhaps a little cryptic but nice art none the less

hop_3 — He wasn’t scared to hop it either

hop_2 — This guy showed up later today and immediately started the show

hopper_ohio — This one was trailered all the way from Ohio and looked to be a sure bet for the single pump class

hopper_ohio2 — Bumped and bruised like a well used drift car

hop_4a — Thing’s were looking pretty good

hop_broken — From what I overheard the control arm snapped, tie rod gave up the ghost, and the ball joint went.
He was taking the control arm back to Jeff’s shop to weld so they could put it back on the trailer

lincolin_majestics_1 — One of two crazy Lincoln’s both part of Majestics

lincolin_majestics_2 — Hit’s 3s with ease

lincolin_majestics_3 — Notice the bumper, the picture below explains how it got like that

jeff_1 — Jeff of Switches N Thangs and his crazy Lincoln

hop_5 — Hard to get a decent shot of Jeff”s car hopping as once it started a crowd gathered

Big shout out to Jeff from Swtiches N Thangs and the rest of the guys from Majestics and Luxurious for bringing it all together for everyone to see.

If there’s ever a lowrider event in your town I recommend checking it out at least once and the next one in the area is Saturday July 28th at 2520 Dixie Road in Mississauga put on by True Playaz.

That yellow on yellow Impala is a ’68 and as well as the red convertible.

Interesting to see that lowriding is active and popular outside of its typical geographical area (SoCal).

And, “one of these cars is not like the others…” How did the donk fit in? Was he shunned?
