Great job by Intek motors and the organizers for putting on such a fantastic event! This was my first MB World BBQ and i will be sure to attend future ones.

Turn-out was great…there were at least 20 C63s including two Black Series and some modified beasts! C63s in every colour

Not one, but TWO Black Series

They sounded incredible

One of my favourites of the day, visiting from the US, a Renntech modified C63 with Akrapovic exhaust

Sounded so mean!

Fung63’s beauty with Vorsteiner carbon diffuser and hood..looks great!

My Affalterbach edition…just when i thought it couldn’t get any nicer lol

An alternative to the Designo Magno Allanite Grey on my car is to get a matte wrap

black coupe arriving

and parked

white coupe

more sedans

Two old school AMG C43s arriving…

with its Eisenmann exhaust, this one still sounds better than 99.999% of cars on the road today

although this Gallardo with Tubi exhaust could be in that .0001%

Great wheel options…i still love the AMG Aeros

Vossen

And some others

Some fun licence plates

Now that’s dedication!

Plenty of reason to celebrate such a great event! See you at the next one…

Despite bad weather earlier in the day and competition from other car events going on today, the 2013 Yorkville Exotic car show was still an awesome show!

I arrived a bit later this year as i waited for it to stop raining. The crowd was already starting to form..

but sadly no red carpet this year (due to the rain).

I sponsored a car this year (the money goes to curing Prostate Cancer) and as luck would have it, it was parked right near the entrance. A 1987 Mercedes 190E 2.3 16, like the one Senna drove to DTM victory…this is way back from the year i got my driver’s licence and still one of my all time favourites. And also explains why i drive an AMG today lol.

Not too many other Mercedes this year…just a silver SLR coupe (vs. the black SLR convertible last year).

Next, some British cars…LOTS of Lotus this year…

awww Evorable

YB XXL? well i am XXXL so i guess i would not fit in this lotus

red Bentley GTC..why does Drake’s “started from the bottom” video come to mind?

TVR

I have seen the McLaren drop-top before but not with the roof in place..it looks stunning!

I was really looking forward to seeing the Aston Martin Lagonda 4 door in person…i hate to say anything negative but i have to admit it, ummm, looks better in pictures than it does in person (let’s say)

More old school and new school Aston Martins

My favourite car last year…may keep its crown lol..Ruf 911

Although the new 911 GT3 RS 4.0 is probably a better performer, i think i’d still rather have the Ruf

Lots of Porsches

Another of my all time favourites, the original M3

and a newer variant

To think i almost bought a 1M lol

Vossen! (I love saying that word out loud)

an older BMW

On to the Italians…Lambo keeping out of the rain

another Lambo

I did not see the BB512 that was supposed to be there…maybe he could not make it…luckily a few Testarossas did

Good mix of Ferraris

Now for some American muscle..woah, check out the size of that engine! lol

Not too many Japanese cars on display

Perfect car for clearing a path through Toronto traffic

Tesla

As a sponsor, i got to hang out in the paddock..but first, a red carpet photo op!

The view from the paddock

complimentary sliders

Once again, an awesome show…see you next year!

I have ordered car detailing supplies from eShine in the past and always found them to be a great online source. I was surprised to find out that they have a retail presence and host an annual open-house with sales, detailing demos, and a barbeque! Of course, the best part is all the cool cars that show up!

So a friend and i decided to make the 1.5 hour roadtrip…

We were among the first to arrive…

But it did not take long for the parking lot to fill up…mostly with vintage cars such as this beautiful Rolls

and muscle cars like these

the sound on this one was UNREAL! check out the video!

kinda makes my car sound silent by comparison!

I imagine this one would be loud too

now on to some shopping…they have TONS of products on display for you to peruse, though the stock is actually kept in the warehouse in the back.

i picked up a “few” things

Now on to one of the demonstrations, wet sanding.

And a quick hotdog before heading out.

The drive home was very scenic..we drove through Niagara on the Lake, passing through vineyards and other natural scenery.

We stopped off at this factory for a photo and video opp.

we did some more driving vids

oopsie 🙂

All in all a great day..thanks again to eShine…the staff were super friendly and very helpful in terms of giving advice. I will be sure to attend the next one!

OMG I TOUCHED KEN BLOCK’S NEW CAR!!! That was my main reason to attend Megaspeed 2013…and thank God Nextmod posted about it on their Facebook page or i wouldn’t have even known the show was on this weekend!

Sadly i did not get to meet Ken but there was still plenty to see at the show. I’ll start with European cars…you do NOT want this in your rearview mirror!

a less stealthy Lambo

One of several awesome 911s

including one from local dealer Pfaff

and my friends at Sportscarboutique

for vintage fans

gorgeous ferrari racer

and its brother Scuddady

this BMW M5 looked awesome in real life

Another Bimmer

Bentley

Lone AMG, an SLS

Aston Martin

Maserati

On to Japanese cars…LOTS of Nissan GT-Rs

One of my favourite Japanese cars of all time..Acura Integra Type-R

and a newer Acura (not quite the same)

Mazda 3

TRD Celica

Now some American muscle..one of my favourite cars of all time, Buick Grand National GNX!!!

Even Shelbys seem boring next to the sinister GNX

neither pink paint or Lambo doors seem to help

Vintage Vette with huge power

Now on to the wacky and wild…what the…

ummmm…

you knew i would find a gold one! ya, you did

na na na na na na na na

more movie cars

do you prefer low..like this guy in the parking lot

or these

or high?

perhaps they would look better with a 32″ wheel?

not high enough? how about a monster tractor?

Rust bucket

Motorcycles…

gold again!

Great accessories at the show too,…like wheels

and awesome car stereos

randomly wrestler Goldberg was on hand to sign autographs…Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg!

and now the moment you have all been waiting for…Miss Megaspeed 2013!!!

No, these were not contestants

But these were the winners from the last two years

and some of this year’s contestants

sadly i did not stick around for the announcement of the winner..they were taking too long lol.

all in all a great show!

RL

Last year i chickened out of paying $175 to get into VIP night but now that i have done it, there is no other way to see the car show! It was NOT AT ALL what i was expecting! Going in, i thought it would be just a few people and that i would be able to take pics of all the cars without crowds. Instead, it was a GIANT party! An “ideally black tie but suits are acceptable” affair for the manufacturers to schmooze dealers and industry folks…multiple concerts and open bars everywhere with a well dressed HUGE crowd stammering about! All very surreal…

I was the first person in to the exotic car display..here i found my favourite car of the show..a Ferrari 599XX…simply STUNNING!!!

I’ll come back to the exotics later but first i want to cover some of my other favourites of the show…I LOVE THIS! Considering i have a matte car now, this would be the perfect match…

Ok, the new E63 S-series is HOT! The interior was awesome..i can’t wait to drive it! (I told the salesman that i didn’t have any alcohol before hitting the spinning display..no drinking and driving for me lol)

C63 (i still prefer my four door version)

SLK

SL

sadly no SLS Black..but a roadster

ok back to exotics…unfortunately the Lotus rep was not there as i wanted to sit in the Evora to see if i fit…it is on my “list”

Maserati MC-12

the new Quattroporte (not sure i like it)

Ferrari F40..as much as i love this, i admit it looks dated next to the 599XX (not to mention that my AMG has more horsepower and torque!!)

Ferrari FF (i hear these are amazing in the snow)

Ferrari open racer

More Ferraris, old and new

Alfa Romeo

McLaren coupe

and the new spider

Compared to the Gallardo spider

and droptops from Rolls and Bentley

Callaway Corvettes

Fisker

On to some other favourites… driving a 911 Turbo S around a racetrack in Vegas a couple of months ago has renewed my love of Porsche

the new Jaguar XF-RS with 560HP! It is awesome on paper and i like the blue but i couldn’t help think “Nissan Maxima”

and its two door sibling, XKR-S

more Brits… Range Rover

I am no longer a fan of the M5 thanks to their “fake” sound

M6 Grand Coupe

X5M

BMW concept

Audi R8

Audi RS5

Mercedes concept

Ok on to some American muscle…Shelby GT500 (a little plain after all the Super Snakes and 1000 i saw at the Shelby museum in Vegas a couple of months ago)

Mustang

the new Corvette Stingray..i am not sure about it…it does not have that “familiar” corvette look to me

ahh that’s more like it..ZR-1

the new Viper..i believe it has the highest torque rating on the market for a naturally aspirated engine

One serious Camaro

Challenger

Cadillac CTS-V in coupe, sedan and wagon

Jeep

wrapped dodge

electric truck with 800HP!!

Now Japanese…after driving the GT-R around a racetrack, i have removed it off my wishlist.

I’m sure the.Lexus LF-A wouldn’t be boring!

I love the wheels on this Lexus LF-CC concept..i was told this will be hitting the market with a hybrid engine

The Lexus LF-LC concept..stunning!

More from Lexus

Scion drift car..i got to meet the driver

Scion iQ
