Mega Speed Car Show
Toronto, CanadaFriday, March 21, 2014
Mega speed car show was held march 21-23---2014 in Toronto Ontario Canada. This is the 3rd name change and ownership of this show started back in 1975. . Formerly MOTION, then later Performance World and for the last 2 years MEGASPEED.
Usually they can entice a Detroit autorama contender or two but not this year. There were a couple of fine cars from Texas on display for the American Eagle award. One 32 ford 3 window hi-boy in a soft coffee colour was especially nice.
The BIG DRAW THIS YEAR IS “DANNY THE COUNT, FROM **COUNTING CARS** TV SHOW FAME. There was a MASSIVE lineup to shake his hand or have a picture taken with him or his sidekick on the show. Danny was his happy , smiling , grinning self, just like on TV. !!!! Mans the real deal. Also Rick & wife was there from AMERICAN RESTORATIONS TV SHOW. Ice T , former rapper TV star actor was supposed to be there, only saw his wife COCO posing with people for pictures. There were 2 other TV car repair show people also there but I have no idea who they were and where they were.
Not sure exactly what they have done, but the whole floor plan once you get by building #1, was completely revamped and discombobulated. Took some time to figure out what was there and whether worth exploring. 2014 corvettes right off showroom floor, I don’t think wasting time looking at that. There was a whole new section of commercial spaces for makers of specialty car products to promote their goodies. I think it is a good idea and a good addition to the overall show, maybe 30 companies or more were represented.
