BFGoodrich Sport Compact Nights
rolled into Winnipeg driven by the success of
Montreal, Halifax and Calgary; and surrounded
by the loudest buzz not heard on tour since the
Maritimes. With the people of Winnipeg recovering
from a major heatwave, Team SCP and BFGoodrich
cranked the temperature right back up with the
hottest car show the ‘Peg has ever seen.
Like the Sunday night traffic
jam that is Portage Avenue, a continuous flow
of spectators flooded the aisles of the Convention
Centre from open to close. Winnipeg enthusiasts
showed that they could more than hold their
own with the rest of Canada’s tuners combining
a perfect blend of West Coast bling and East
Coast creativity.

Low Life Customs brought all kindss of flavour,
from chromed-out Escalades to a Honda Civic
on cylinders. Despite a trailor-related
incident, the Toyport AutoFX Lambo-hinged,
chromed-out turbo Integra still managed
to walk away with the Vibrant Performance
Top Tuner Award. Allan Chan and the rest
of the Zucru claim they spent 48 hours without
sleep, preparing their drift-inspired booth
setup. The self-induced insomnia paid off
as Zucru walked away with the Best Display
trophy. Holding court in the BFGoodrich
booth were “DaTwins” with their
canary-yellow Toyota Celica GTS. Look for
the car in a future issue of Performance
Auto & Sound magazine. Last but not
least, Vancouver. |
