\"\"<\/a>Is there any better day to get out to a car event than Father\u2019s Day? As a Father myself I have always used Father\u2019s Day as a \u2018get to a show\u2019 free card.<\/p>\n

Obviously, around here it\u2019s assumed that I\u2019ll be going to some sort of a car show anyway, but it\u2019s still nice to have that ace up my sleeve one Sunday a year.<\/p>\n

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

For 2022 my Father\u2019s Day event of choice was the Toronto Hot Rod Kulture Season Opener. Some of you might remember I started attending these shows last year.<\/a><\/p>\n

Host by the Road Reapers Car club these are charity events that take place typically one Sunday of each month, weather permitting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The events are held at 75 Billy Bishop Way in North York which makes it a reasonable drive for most people in the Greater Toronto Area. However, some people do end up coming from pretty damn far.<\/p>\n

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

As the name implies THRK is generally<\/em> aimed toward Hot Rods. That\u2019s fine by me because \u2013as if you have not noticed\u2013 with each passing year I see to dive deeper and deeper into the local hot rod community.<\/p>\n

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

Don\u2019t worry Import guys, I\u2019ll still make my way out to a few events. But, at least for Father\u2019s day 2022 it was hot rods all the way.<\/p>\n

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

The THRK events, much like Cars and Coffee, take place pretty early. Finishing up by 11 or so in the morning they leave plenty of daylight left for adult responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Sure, you might have to wake up a little early,\u00a0<\/em>but the early bird gets the worm as they say.<\/p>\n

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

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

\"\"<\/a>Or perhaps in this case the early bird gets to see the Shelby Cobra? This was a seriously nice example of an authentic car.<\/p>\n

One day I have to weasel my way into a ride in one of these cars. Real or Factory Five, I\u2019m not too picky.<\/p>\n

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

There were quite a few trucks in attendance, which is something I will never, ever, complain about. I\u2019m not sure how many of you have been paying attention but the track market (I suppose like every other market) has gone absolutely mad.<\/p>\n

Glad I picked up Project Why Wait<\/a> when I did because I absolutely would not be able to afford it now.<\/p>\n

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

Now I\u00a0 just have to finish the damn thing so I can park up next to this killer Chevy.<\/p>\n

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

Yes, I saw this truck last year, actually, I\u2019ve probably taken photos of it at least 4 years in a row. Also, yes I am<\/em> going to keep doing it as well. I\u2019m sure you\u2019re all fine with it.<\/p>\n

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

Another car you can expect to see a lot of photos of is CJ\u2019s turbo LS-powered Impala. I saw this car for the first time at Motorama.<\/p>\n

My Motorama coverage was posted predominantly on Speedhunters <\/a>and in that coverage, I mentioned he built the entire car in a single-car garage.<\/p>\n

A single-car garage that lacks dedicated power.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>That includes doing all the paintwork himself. Where there\u2019s a will there\u2019s a way as they say.<\/p>\n

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

That\u2019s probably my favourite part about Toronto Hot Rod Kulture events. Most of the vehicles have stories to tell.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>If they don\u2019t their owners do and most are more than willing to spend a few minutes chatting about what they\u2019ve driven out to the event.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Or if they don\u2019t have a real story they\u2019re just plain cool.<\/p>\n

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

Speaking of just plain cool, this COE was one of the coolest vehicles at the event.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It might be one of the coolest vehicles I\u2019ll see all year. So much so that I\u2019ll have a post up in a few days dedicated exclusively to it.<\/p>\n

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

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

As I wrap this one up I need to give one more thanks to the guys at Toronto Hot Rod Kulture and the Road Reapers for doing what you do for the community.<\/p>\n
