Canadian International Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo is coming in March to Toronto’s International Centre.


Every year around March, Toronto has been blessed with a Hot Rod, Classic and Motorsports show. The show was always held at the International Centre (Airport Road and Derry Road) near the north end of Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.

In the recent years past the show was called MegaSpeed Customer Car & Truck Show. Prior to that version, it was also called Performance World. Prior to that, it was called the Motion Custom Car Show. The name did not matter, it was always a fun adventure to visit the show and gaze at the automotive magic on display.

Gumball 3000. Get to know Team Galag


Videos are courtesy of the Team Galag YouTube Channel

When the Gumball 3000 came to Toronto, back in 20112, Team Galag was there. Super cool guys, driving some amazing Exotic Cars.

I thought that it might be an idea to feature some of the Ballers who will be participating in this year’s Gumball 3000.

Back in 2012, the Gumball 3000 got underway in New York City. It was interesting to watch the video clips. What stood out was Team Galag. They had custom T-Shirts made and were “giving them away” to the spectators who lined the sidewalks by the Starting Line. I firmly believe that life is much like a circle. What goes around, comes around. Some call it Karma. Team Galag has plenty of Good Karma.

There is a lot going on when the Gumball 3000 participants start out each morning. Yet, the guys from Team Galag were really great with the photogs. Yep photogs can be a bit of a pain, especially when you are in a hurry.

Another cool thing is that Team Galag supports causes.com. This year they are rallying to raise awareness for the Zahra Breast Cancer Association.

You have to check out Team Galag’s Super Cars, when the Gumball 3000 rolls into your town.

Team Galag has assembled a whole bunch of videos about their Gumball 3000 adventures. Click on this line to visit the Team Galag YouTube Channel.

Clicking on this line will take you to the official Team Galag website.

Don’t forget to check out the  “huge” number of Gumball 3000 photos, posted to the photo stream of the Team Galag Facebook page.

When the cars return from their drive, the smiles and joy on the faces of the kids really tugs at one’s heart strings.


I was lucky to shoot this event in 2012. Would love to shoot the 2014 I Wish Ferrari. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can arrange the time to do it.

Gumball 3000 2013 Update #5 from Team Galag. From Warsaw to Vienna.

I should send the links of these videos to Toronto City Hall’s Tourism Office. Warsaw did an amazing job with this event. Even the Gumballers themselves were commenting about it.

In Toronto last year, the Gumballers were tightly parallel parked on a couple of Yorkville sidetreeets. Some drivers had lots of fun the next morning trying to get out of those tight parking spots.

Next year they should close off Bloor Street or better yet, have the Gumballers  park at Nathan Philips Square.  The videos show that huge numbers of people turned out for the arrival of the Gumball 3000 Rally in Warsaw.

In 2012, I bet you that the majority of Toronto residents did not know that the Gumball 3000 Rally was coming to town. In contrast, I bet most Warsaw residents knew that the Gumballers were about to arrive.

Looks like everyone had a blast in Warsaw…

Gumball 3000 Rally Update #4 from Team Galag, from Latvia and Warsaw Poland

Love the way that Warsaw greeted the Gumball 3000 Rally. Huge turnout of people. Looks like a super well-organized event. Lots of fun for those participating and also for the fans of the Gumball 3000. They even brought a massive skateboarding ramp from Barcelona Spain, to entertain everyone with skateboarding and bike stunts.

The 2nd video shows off sequenced still pics of the arrival of the Gumball 3000 Super Cars. Looks like it was quite the event in Warsaw.

Gumballers had their Exotic Cars beautifully wrapped by Raccoon. They having proudly posted a full gallery of Gumball 3000 Eye Candy.

Not sure who shot those pics. Some of shots, like the wrapped Lamborghini Aventador, have the look and feel of Sam Moores Photography. An amazing gallery giving the viewer an insight into the Gumball Exotics and a touch of the process which goes into wrapping them.
