Darknights2011!

[blackmica10]

do you have to enter your ride or is this just a show up and hang out kinda thing?

[-RJ3-]

Spectating or you can register.

[S.F.W.]

Darknights2011!

my thoughts exactly. Kind of worried in a sense though. I remember police waiting outside DN to check every vehicle, and hand out tickets.

[sp3GT]

^Ya I remember that, they were so anal about everything too.

Don't drive if you're spectating lol

[Dave_The_BMXER]

my thoughts exactly. Kind of worried in a sense though. I remember police waiting outside DN to check every vehicle, and hand out tickets.

I am worried about this as well.

[GBtires]

we should all take a bus there if spectating lol

markham fairgrounds, its like a blast from the past.

"back to where it all started" is a very fitting title.

[mzkaye729]

my thoughts exactly. Kind of worried in a sense though. I remember police waiting outside DN to check every vehicle, and hand out tickets.

Ugh I remember that all too well. I was driving my STOCK CIVIC at the time and was pulled over shortly after leaving because of the smoked plate covers I had on the car. Stupidness.

[Kevin@nextmod]

I think i will not be going because of the freakin popo. I'm sure i can meet one of there 1 month quotas just with my car.

[p-o-g-i]

At one time when I had an Accord, it had a full body kit.... and I remember when I was driving over some of the bumps on the grass, my car would drag. A cop stood right beside me to watch me maneuver around. That was so nerve racking.......





(........ yes, I'm still going :blush)

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Lets rent a van and cover it in tm3 stickers and go lol.

[S.F.W.]

Lets rent a van and cover it in tm3 stickers and go lol.

I like this idea...would even help cover some of the costs.

Cover the cost of the tickets everyone will be getting...:P

[thanu31]

"back to where it all started", lol am i too young to know about this? explain plz

But it seems like its going to be a huge event, cant wait.

It's a reference to Dark Nights. DK was always held at the Fairgrounds.

[-RJ3-]

Lets go one up. Rent cube trucks for the members wanting to enter their car. Slap tm3 stickers all over. Team trucks. Lmao. Leave the show with cars in te trucks. Undercover
It's a thought but I'm sure that will e a pipe dream

[thanu31]

cool, yea i actually remember now back in school all of us wanted to go lol

[laksman91]

lol +2 unfortunately

[jonjon72]

lol +2 unfortunately

+3

If I go, it won't be in my car. But ya, I remember the last time I was at DK and the police were literally waiting along woodbine or hiding in the area waiting for someone to make a small mistake (like 5km over the speed limit).

[Default User]

you guys need to remember though - back then, we did A LOT of f.king idiotic mods that begged for tickets/fines

Besides - 99% of us (TM3 members) have street legal mods.
I'm not saying you wont get pulled over.. but just drive sensible and all SHOULD be good.

I get pulled over once a month by cops, just for shits and giggles. (Thankfully no tickets). It's something that you just come to terms with as a tuner

I think I rather just live with the hassle of being pulled over for no reason / no fine, than miss this show.

Actually no, not everyone. Unless rims and tints were considered extreme! :huge smile

Seriously though, during the last couple of years at dark knights, cops went out of their way to make it difficult for anyone exiting the event. Some people can't be bothered and others unfortunately can't control their mouths when questioned by the police. Talk about a recipe for disaster! :loco

I remember seeing people riding on cut springs, and loose body panels, with rainbow tints and rims with more poke than a 12 year old boy at the Sears lingerie section.
Honestly, just keep it cool and dont try to be a "bad-mon" to a cop if you get pulled over.

[S.F.W.]

The last Dark Nights I went to was in the summer of '05 I think. At the time, I was barely modified, powder coated wheels and dropped on pro kits. On my way out, police pulled me over to make sure I wasn't too low. One cop was going to measure my clearance above my fenders, until another told him not to bother.

[Dave_The_BMXER]

^ Not bringing my car.

Glad to see they're bringing this back after all these years :cool

The police stakeout used to be ridiculous, one of the reasons the organizers pulled the plug.

I agree with everything in bold. Nicely put Eric. Hence the reason I still plan to attend/ register for this show.

We live our lives a quarter mile at a time. And for those 10 seconds OR LESS........LOL


for sure going to be a big show. Hearing rumours of a swap meet at this event. may be picking up a new rim set-up fpr 2012

[floodgatez]

[aZuMi]

will be present!

You competing?

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Ya Gabe you competing?

I dunno if I will compete in this, I tend to only 'compete' and show in charity events.

Plus if I get pulled over womp womp womp

[thanu31]

I remember posting this G on the boob/ass thread :drool
my goal is to get a pic with her and my car at the show:hawt

[S.F.W.]

Plus if I get pulled over womp womp womp

This is my worry as well. Events at Markham Fairgrounds just seem to be such a heat scene. I recall post Dark Nights, most cars were getting pulled over for inspection, ticket, and some being flat bed towed.

[n00bMeiSter]

Do they have a category for rustiest car? If so I'll put my repairs on hold! :chuckle

[n00bMeiSter]

If I make it out to this I may be able to make that happen.

SIgh.... I wont see those hot "rims" Bahhhhhh I might just roll with ya to the event and drive home.

Ami, will your car(s) be at / competing at the show? You've been kinda quiet on the boards lately which leads me to think you've been too busy hitting up mod shops :D

[ROCKSTAR RX8]

If you guys do not want to compete or display in the show, this may work out better for you.

Check out the new VIP field area. $30 ($10 VIP Parking + $20 Entrance) gets you into this field area and still be in the show. You can leave this area at anytime of the day as you wish.

I know I haven't been on the boards as much the last month or so. I've got alot going on with a move at the end of the month, and trying to catch up with work at my full time job..... so chiming in on the forums and facebook have taken a back seat.

I did want to acknowledge (which I thought would have been posted here) was in regards to Import Expo. As there were quite a few past and present members from the TorontoMazda3 forum who registered for the show either as a competitor or displayed as part of an overall team....... I wanted to make sure those who took home an award were recognized:

chan7-------->Best Mazda3 2nd place

Floodgatez---->Best Mazda3 3rd place

KoukiDC5------>Best Integra/ RSX 3rd place

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!
