Event Coverage: Sherway Nissan Megameet

Sep 19, 2013

A few weeks ago Importfest hosted a ‘Mega Meet’ –aka a show and shine– at Sherway Nissan is Mississauga. The event was open to all make and model of vehicles with speciality awards reserved for Nissan entrants.

Dealership shindigs are often hit or miss but this one was pretty solid offering up a variety of cars from classics all the way to big money exotics. In addition to cars there were a few food vendors, the Grey Cup, a handful of cheerleaders, and a couple Toronto Argonaut players.

It was also the first event where Lyndsey and I set up a retail booth to sell the 2013 fall line up of T-shirts. Thanks to everyone that came by to buy a sticker, shirt, or just hang out in the shade.

The gold / grey 2 tone car looks like it was an s14 at one point…or has s14 doors and rear quarters

  It’s not an s14 base 🙂

Nice shots. Too bad you didn’t get more photos of the cars that were actually in the car show.

looks like an early 2000s prelude, judging by the roofline.

Nice old cars show up. See cars that look like they were stepped on by Jack the Giant and are now broken. Old car’s get out of Dodge.

lol
