\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s Saturday morning, I don’t particularly have much to do and my son doesn’t have a BMX race to go to. Summer might be slipping away, but on this particular day the weather was perfect.<\/p>\n

Hot enough to be enjoyable, but not so hot that air conditioning is required. On a day such as this what else would I do but check out a car show?<\/p>\n

Or perhaps maybe two?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ash has been racing his bike a lot this year which has meant we’ve missed every lowrider show thus far.<\/p>\n

I was worried Ash wouldn’t get to see a single “up down” car in 2019, but thankfully Rollerz Only likes to host their BBQ late in the summer and as I said before, we were both free.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was my first Rollerz Only shindig, but, like every other Lowrider BBQ I’ve been to the three most important things remained great; the music, the food, and the cars.<\/p>\n

The only downside to this venue, perhaps, was the space. It was pretty tight quarters, but you know how it is, get in where you fit in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The two Cadillacs above were a treat to see, and I actually ran into them a second time later that day at the second show we ended up going to.<\/p>\n

But we’ll get to that in just a second, first there’s a few more lowriders to let shine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Lowrider community in Ontario never ceases to impress me, even essentially eight years on from when I first discovered it.<\/p>\n

Builds that have been “finished” for years still look stunning, and the new cars on the block have only raised the bar.<\/p>\n

I’d really love to attend a lowrider event stateside and see how Canada stacks up in comparison.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After firing a few more shots at the Rollerz BBQ Ash and I headed about fifteen minutes down the road to the Road Agents Fourth Annual Car show.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The event was winding down when I arrived but there were still a number of pretty cool builds around. Including the 2.0T swapped MK1 above and below this text.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also couldn’t help take a picture of this super clean Golf. Having not been to any Euro-centric shows this year I hadn’t seen many Golfs in 2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Beside the Golf was Alan’s absolutely beautiful S52 swapped E30. Alan has had this car for close to, if not, two decades and he’s done a tremendous job with it. If you want to learn a little bit more about this car I wrote a feature on it for Speedhunters a few months ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s all for this little Saturday romp, but here’s a couple more photos.<\/p>\n
