Guest Coverage: Eurokracy 2012

Jul 5, 2012

Despite the wet weather last years Eurokracy drew quite a crowd proving that European car enthusiasts are not the type to let a little water get in the way of good times and low cars.

This year the Eurokracy team started promoting the show six months in advance and once the weather cooperated breaking last years attendance record was no problem at all.

Long time Stance Is Everything friend/reader Neil Kates made the trek out to Montreal for the show and his coverage combined a co-sign from The Scraped Crusaders make me think I should brave the Montreal roads and head out next year.

lineup2 — Line up of people wating to get into Autodrome St-Eustache

lineup3 — These two shots really illustrate just how big of a deal Eurokracy is

Non Euros

No outcasts at Eurokracy

s10_2 — Neil seems to share low trucks and Daytons

nissan2 — Props to the owner for keeping that lip scrape free, doesn’t look like an easy task

nissan — I am going to go out on a limb and say this car probably gets tossed around the track a bit

nissan_350_3 — Those of you who read Canibeat will recognize this 350 from a feature they did on it

nissan_350_2 — Great fitment without going over the top like some 350z drivers

subaru_bagged — Speaking of CIB/Air Society features this one is another

ford_mustang_phil_2 — Rounding out the e-famous ‘non euros’ here’s Phil’s Cobra

ford_mustang_phil_1 — Phil was recently able to get the car to roll at this height specifically for the Eurokracy Limbo contest

BMW

Some of Toronto’s heavy hitters of the BMW community made there way out to Montreal to meet up with their finest

bmw_monolo — Monolo was looking to retain his limbo title but got beat by this crazy vehicle with a folding windshield

bmw_e30_bronzit — His Brother Carm made the trip out with him

bmw_e36 — There’s a car locally that recently got a setup nearly identical to this

bmw_e30_wobbie — Love this e30 owned by ‘Wobbie’

bmw_e30_stephen — If I’m not mistaken Steve of the Scraped Crusaders took home best e30

VAG

Obviously the heart of any good euro show is a copious amount of vehicles under the VAG umbrella and Eurokracy didn’t fail to deliver.

mk3_jetta — Love the fitment of these wheels

mk3_jetta_2 — Another one of those color combinations I would have never thought would work so well… Chop Shop touch I guess

stance_dubs_1 — VW owners are really serious about their tucked and shaved bays as displayed by this supercharged Jetta representing for Stance Dubs

stance_dubs_2 — The exterior is just as clean as the bay

cage_2 — The euro hatch game isn’t bad either…

mk4_golf — Does Scmidtt still do those crazy videos where they drive around directly on the wheel?

mkv_air_society — The rear fitment on this looks pretty aggressive

fender_wear — Looks like rear quarters are now wear items to some people

lineup4 — That’s Neils Car in the foreground

mkv_neil — You guys probably remember it from his feature

mkv_golf2 — Neil used to rock a set of these Alphards himself actually

scraped_crusaders — The Scraped Crusaders

mkIv_as — Not sure what wheels those are but I don’t mind them

mkv_jetta_centigrade — Not sure if the grey below the grill is permanent but I like it

mkv_jetta — Jetta On Lexus SC wheels, that’s a new one to me

mk_6_golf — This generation is slowly but surely growing on me as they get lower and lower

mk_6_gli — In a few years I can see being really used to them

browny_1 — This is probably my favorite currently

browny2 — Recently featured in a video on Air Society

Big thanks to Neil for covering the event, and euro fans rejouce because Neil is going to be helping out with the Euro content on the site in the near future.

The only french words I know are bonjour and tabernac that’s enough to make it by next year right…?

Yes those two words are all you need. Just throw in BIERE and you’re all set.

There were so many nice cars at the show. I’m thankful for all the coverage of them because I now realize I didn’t even see 90% of the cars.

Thanks again for the spotlight, always fun to see my car online.

The brown Jetta at the end is for sale if anyone’s interested.

Agreed Phil, going to that show made me realise a couple things as well. I also didn’t know a high percentage of the cars, however was happy to see the Canadian scene going hard. Also came to the realisation that bags these days are not a big deal lol, which is why my cars currently in the shop.

Was nice meeting you, and everyone else.

Thanks for posting my pics Dave, it was a pleasure to cover it, and I look forward to the other shows. Got some big ones in the UK coming up, so stay tuned!

I wanna punch who ever owns that gt3 owner is for putting chicken mesh in where the grills are,way to fuck up a beautiful piece of German machinery. Retard. But I was there with the scraped guys and the show was dope.

Thanks for the writeup guys!

You should definitely come next year, we really work hard on making this event a unforgettable weekend to Montreal for most of you outsiders. We bring you out partying and usually a little shoot on Sunday but this year we went too hard on Friday and were knocked out on Sunday lol.

You are more then welcome in 2013, just hit us up before and we will work the details.
