Do you believe? Discuss.

[Lomac]

Rocky Mountaineer Station? Seriously? Are they going to go for an outdoor event this year? I can't imagine they'll be able to fit the entire show inside...

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

SWEETT!!!!!!

last year was a gone show

:thumbsup:

good news



wait a minute, lol where the hell is rock mountain station?

[BoySupra604]

Look at the contact info at the bottom, It looks like its right beside Home Depot on Terminal.

[NeoDestinyZ]

Wow that's kind of an unusual place to host it.

[Mr.Jay]

weird place

nice that dtp is back tho

[hk20000]

that place is sick. Went there when Mini held their drink party there for free booze.

Perfect setup for a car show - bright, just big enough for the tuner people (which is, if the 2008 one was the indication of interest, not a lot)

not big enough if the show of cars is the same as say circa 2006 level....but oh well.

[kookoobird88]

how does one go about trying to get their car in DTP?

[eurochevy]

personally i think dtp is a little bit of a joke since everyone and their dog goes into it..its not even all nice cars half of them are like for example (purely an example not trying to actually mean anything by saying this)..so say for example you walk in ..bam white civic with black hood..deserves to be in dtp because it has a black hood with rims? i don't think so..

[CanadaGoose]

DTP is always good times!!!

If you don't go, you miss out. Simple as that

[Mr.Jay]

its fun times for sure

however i do agree that alot of the cars are just cf hood, rims and lowered

[hk20000]

go for the fake titties n gangstah wannabes!

:rolleyes:

[Inaii]

It's Vancouver. People will find something to bitch about.

[Berzerker]

I might be in shape to enter this year again. Last time I entered I won 2nd best civic see if I can match or improve that this time :)

its good for the scene to have a local show back, rice or no rice.

Lets put it this way, if there is no show at all then I would say that is even worse. The fact that we have a decent sized import show makes me really happy and it may inject the industry again with some excitement after a one year hiatus.

I will be there with my car.

[!SG]

damn... must get my shit together! vip goodies collected over winter need to go on!

[Jobo]

location is gonna be sick! Went there a few years back for a Bboy competition "Soulfoot"
Seems kinda weird, but wait til you get there.

[Benz_05TSX]

thats awesome, not too far. I finally have a chance to enter and make my dream come true!

[Cereal Killer]

Sign up/register once that becomes available. IIRC, there's a fee to have your car entered and you must meet any saftey requirements they ask of you.

[josel_atr]

I will be there with my car.

Which one?

I hope some cool celebreties show up. I dont mind watching Quest Crew rip the stage and misa campo posing on my Evo. :haha:

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

his z of course

[exhil]

someone used to host bboy battles at that place 3 years ago.

it's a pretty nice place. definitely not bigger than bc place.

kinda looking forward to dtp though!

I remember 2 years ago when she was there I happen to be the 1st person to greet her, I asked her to marry me and she said yes of course. Got that shit on video somewhere haha

There a guy with the username Mr.Campo but its already taken by me hah

[skyxx]

^ Psh, she said the same thing to me last time. WE GOT SCAMMED! :cry: Or maybe you did. ;)

[Mr.Jay]

either way last time I was at DTP was great. Babes + cars = place for me

[jlenko]

Register & pay on the website when it comes up.

Then prepare for the run around... difficult staff who don't know what's going on & contradict each other... and you'll never win 1st place in anything "unless you know someone".

I gave up on that show. So did many people on here. There are a few who still dream though. ;)

[!SG]

so... ive done a shit load to my car (my prelude before), im pretty sure everyone knows me, yet all the years ive entered, ive never won anything, yet you dont see me bitch whine and complain about it.

to each their own, you may think your car is a treasure, others might think otherwise. in the end of the day, are you modding for their enjoyment or yours? it be pretty sad if all you seek is others approval, and not be modding for the love of it.

To win at a car show, its 10% mods, 20% display, and 70% cleaning! if you think ur gonna win with dirty door jams, think again.

[jlenko]

To me.. in the end, the only good thing about DTP was you spent less if you entered your car in the show instead of visiting it.

With your vehicle entry, you got secure overnight parking... you get a wristband (or handstamp in the later years) that lets you come and go, so you could leave the show and go get cheaper better food at a real restaurant instead of the crap food at BC Place...

Good for DTP on coming back to Vancouver after the year missed... but I've had enough of their disorganization. And an outdoor show I have to pay to enter? I'd rather hit up every RS meet instead :)

[Iceman-19]

DTP is always good times!!!

If you don't go, you miss out. Simple as that

I went once, it was boring as fuck.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

:haha::haha:

Well there may be some male models there too for you buddy!

[XTC_604_DKNY]

since DTP is coming back, i wonder if HIN will ever come back to seattle

[Mr.Jay]

HIN is a blast

There are 2 car shows that I hope to one day be able to attend before I die

SEMA

Pebble Beach

this. i've never understood why people mod for strangers' attention or the people who assume that you yourself are doing it for attention. it really surprises me how little people understand why we do this.

[Onassis]

It's actually kind of retarded how people spend tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to win a fifty dollar trophy. Major props to tuners who do it just for straight passion instead of acceptance.

Any ideas on which import models are headlining the show ?

[orgasm_donor]

I sure hope so. Last time it was in Seattle my buddy and I took 1500 pictures of half-nekkid womyns and no, I will not share the 'cootie' shots here. :p

As for DTP, it is the day before the annual *FREE* SoundsGood Sound-off event on Sunday, the 27th of june! Its gonna be a bizzy weekend for me!

[death_blossom]

DTP is back! :buttrock:

Need to know model line up, misa campo was a no show two years ago I think, I was chokeddddd

I can send you a few. Just make sure your girlfriend isn't around to see them - she may get jealous!

Oh I didnt realize you would be there! :D

[boss604]

is there a fee to pay to get into DTP ?

[skyxx]

^ Ofcourse. It's not free like RevScene meets. ;) So now you don't have an excuse to not go to the RS meet! :lol

[boss604]

ok, thanx skyxx
how much is it then ?

[skyxx]

It's usually 20 dollars.

[boss604]

thank you for the info, cant wait for this !

[FeistyBearH22a]

:thumbsup: DTP was sorely missed last year. =(

[Shun Izaki]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUU

if this 2 years ago, i could go for free, and be super VIP, having worked for rocky...

stupid bastards :(

[jlenko]

As I said before... it's not what you've got on your car... it's who you know.

[felixy69]

i think ppl should start spending more money on their cars if u want shows like this to keep coming back
cuz
if ur car looks the same every show, and it's the same car winning the same thing every show, ppl that paid $20 to enter the event will no longer be interested, the less ppl pay to go in the less NOISE the sponsors get, the sponsors don't get what they wanted, then they won't come back next year, shows won't happen, it's simple as that......
so i think if ppl want to have these shows again 3 - 4 times a year like 4-5 years ago....ppl gota spend their money !~

[hk20000]

^ people are looking for completely different things nowadays when they see a car though. As long as it gets you from A to B in good comfort and style AND it doesn't burn a hole in your wallet it's a good car.

in terms of CLASS it's difficult to surpass the factory tuners (talking about AMG, Alpina, Brabus, Quattro, TRD, Nismo etc), so not many even bother. In terms of style it's a love-it-or-hate-it deal.

Abundant information on the internet also takes out the crowd that thinks "If I put 50g in my Civic I can beat a 100G Ferrari, so it's a good deal!" so that's a bunch of people (albeit moronic people) gone.

People who massively stylize their econoboxes will soon find out that you can't live with them on a day to day basis you worry about getting the car dinged you worry about speed bumps you worry about stone chips, you miss your air conditioning etc...

In theory for the tuner market to thrive first of all the "tuner car" has to be a second car. And then the tuner market has to have momentum (back then how much money of the economy was put into a Civic to make 100FWHP? People raced their cars on back roads and drag strips, then came the drifting thing. With this activity saturating the media in movies, TV shows and discovery channel shows, you have to agree with me that it went too mainstream for its own good. Drifting tends to beat the crap out of your "modified car" as well. VIP came along later but with no local parts maker it remain a very niche market for VIP accessories product...then now it's just everyone doing their own thing...) A "movement" is necessary to keep this tuner scene going and currently there isn't one (you can say it's "time attack" but that doesn't happen in Pacific NW) so the market is really slow...

People don't have as much hard earned money to spend on their cars now either after the economy went bust, so the first point of having a second car that you can tune and modify becomes really difficult, a DD tuner car is, in reality, a chick-repulse-magnet and not very friendly on the streets. Those who do have money knows to start off with a very fast platform from showroom and the best way to make it faster is to "not touch the damn thing" or invisible mods like a chip tune

It's a difficult situation.

[!Yaminashi]

I sure hope so. Last time it was in Seattle my buddy and I took 1500 pictures of half-nekkid womyns and no, I will not share the 'cootie' shots here. :p

[orgasm_donor]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUU

Because $20 is ridiculous to pay for a show right? Or the $50 or so entry fee for your car? If you can't afford either then you should stop going to Starbucks so much and save your coins.

[Lowered_Klass]

I haven't been to a show like DTP in years, so it might be good to go again. What the hell. If for nothing else then to support the scene.

And all this talk about HIN... makes me remember going to Seattle YEARS ago for the very first time and being amazed. The quality of cars there was nuts. Sure a lot of them weren't my thing, but I sure as hell can appreciate the work that went into them. Not to mention all the free shit I scored! Made the cost of admission worth it! :thumbsup:

[!SG]

hmm, i gotta drive to see where the new venue is at!

[StylinRed]

wonder if they considered that huge place in langley.. can't remember what its called but it looks like its brand new and no1 ever uses it

rocky mountaineer looks pretty cool though

[G-spec]

I'm gonna go as a spectator this year only, but wondering are the judges still JDM whores ?

the only question I remember the judge asking my friends and me about our cars was if we had any JDM parts, he didn't ask anything else.

I found that pretty funny, and I understand JDM is a big thing in the tuning community but there has been quite a few other developments in the modified world since the 90's and early 2000 when JDM'ing was the most gangster shit you could do to your ride

[Marioo1991]

looks like its not going to go through. >.<

[josel_atr]

it looks like its a go in alberta...

[felixy69]

so Vancouver is NOT on their list...?? damn

[bcrdukes]

I don't think that's the same show. Driven To Perform is sponsored by Toyo Tires (historically anyway.)

But I may be wrong.

[!SG]

ok guys, its unconfirmed but i heard that due to some technicalities, there will be no DTP this year for vancouver.

so with that said, we just gotta hold out. i know i know, you guys are as bummed as i am...

Unless you can come up with the 5 figure budget shortfall (not enough sponsors) I wouldn't talk.

daymn that sucks for us.

now if we really want to, calgary is the closest one.

i miss dtp.

[jlenko]

It would probably rain that day... an outdoor show in Van? C'mon...

We've got a HUGE new convention centre. Why doesn't Importfest come back?

[orgasm_donor]

Thats a shame really.
Looks like the only shows this year are going to be the Revscene summer meet, The SoundsGood show and shine on June 27th and a handfull of smaller events. :(

[josel_atr]

^so mike, its not really happening is it?

hmmm now im gonna have to plan a long ass drive to calgary.
