ZEN GARAGE | SK INVADES

Arriving in Sydney after the epic amount of travel,, with no sleep under our belts (maybe a few of us having a little nap in the cars) spirits at an all time low... but we didn't just go to the hotel to crash out and rest... we did what most people would do when driving slammed cars to Sydney.

WENT AND CHECKED OUT ZEN GARAGE!

Last time we headed to Sydney for Showcased, our plan was to make it to Zen but unforgettably they didn't open on the Saturday before... so this trip it was a must!

We got lost through the city but after the piss stop we re-grouped and check the maps to get us on the right roads to get us here.

Pulling up first thing we seen was the huge illest and allstars banners, then following the banners it make you look down a dingy dark, plain out rad looking alley and at the end the Zen Garage sign.

We lined the cars up down the alley and jumped out to check out the place and pretty much just chill the fuck out!

Massive thanks to the guys at All Stars and Zen Garage... possible the best way to be welcomed... a heap of coronas and BBQ was just what we needed!

You all made us very welcome... totally need more guys in the scene like this bunch!!! YEP!

After chillin' and just relaxing for a while, I started to wonder through the Garage... the first thing I seen was this fixie/cruiser awesomeness! 

Also in sort of hidden, but not hidden room there was a well set out gallery... showing some of the best automotive photography work from a bunch of talented dudes!!

So much character in this place... simply can not have found a better location for a garage / shop / chill shack!

After you have entered the shop and checked out the gallery... first thing you see is the line up of project cars that Zen has in the works!

I couldnt actualy go any further into the shop cause the smell of that food pulled me out side for something to eat and another beer! hahaha

By the time I got back in the place had started filling up with people shopping, talking cars and just looking around taking the place in.

The place is laid out so well... from having clothes racks next to place you can sit down and have a read through some awesome car mags.

Then you look over your shoulder and the guys are working on the shop project cars that I mentioned earlier.

The TRIIPN evo was parked up out the front... such a cool looking car!

We spent a few hours at Zen, just chilling, relaxing and talking about cars, girls and the scene!

Huge thanks again needs to go out to all the guys!

Doesn't matter how many photos we show you of this place, its just one of them places you just have to check out for yourself!

When you leave the place your still unsure of what it is.... only way I could describe it is a HUB, yeah I think that makes sense... hahaha see I'm still confused about it... haha..  but it definitely is one thing.... AWESOME!

We headed back to the hotel to check in and get some well deserved rest!

I could say we drove to the hotel as respectable motorist, but I would be lying!!! hahaha

Skids and dragging sparks through the city was the best!

The Hotel was not expecting this on a Saturday afternoon haha

and that was it time to crash out for a few hours... so we could hit the town till the early morning!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

HARDTUNED ROBINA MEET - PART ONE

After our Slider session... which I must say was a rad arvo (photos up soon) we headed out to the hardtuned.net meet at Robina train station! Didn't get that many photos as we had no idea that it was moving on to another location, so by the time we had talked to a few people everybody started driving out!

Ty was out in the Forge Wheels Audi... he has put up and EOI on this killer ride so if anybody is interested in getting into one of the dopest rides in Australia, you can email him HERE

Matyi was out in his super cool S2k! 

This photo drew the line of me putting up with my 50mm that has pretty much crapped out.. I have been dealing with it since I got back from Japan!

 Nelson in his OG e46... reppin' one of our rad new front window decal!

This Ke70 grabbed my attention, when it was rolling out.!!!

Few more up tomorrow!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

SECRETMEAT - FIRST EDITION - PART TWO

Continuing on from yesterdays post of our Secretmeat meet...

Alex and Nelson happy about getting the cooking job! hahaha

Snags supplied for everybody to have a arvo feed... having a BBQ at the meet brings a completely different feel to it! Good to just chill out and talk with everyone.. but in the end its still a meet so back to the cars.....

Sun started going down so we decided to hit the road.. was a little disappointed that NO brissy guys rocked up, so pretty sure next one will be heading back down the coast way!

Drive there and back was so rad, some of the lowest built cars getting around and we pretty much owned the highway! haha

Thanks, Streetkarnage.
