2025 SEASON ENDER
What an incredible way to end the Season with the Cosplay and Cars Season Ender! Awesome rides and people dressed up in their favourite cosplay! The morning weather was wet and the winds picked up during the day so we brought the show down in the parkade covered area for a cool underground experience. Check out my Facebook page for the full photo album!
Stay tuned for my 2026 dates and my visit with Help Fill a Dream for the GRAND total donations raised for all of 2025!

1ST ANNUAL NANAIMO CRUISE-IN CAR SHOW
Thank you Nanaimo! The 1st Annual Woodgrove Centre Cruise-In Car Show was a huge success! Thank you to Woodgrove Centre, Help Fill A Dream Foundation to all my volenteers, sponsors, vendors, attendees and most importantly the community!
Lot's of photos, videos, award winners and Help Fill A Dream Foundation total money raised all coming up next! Stay tuned!
Much love and respect to each and everyone one of you. I will forever be grateful for our amazing automotive community.
2025 SUMMER SHOW
The Summer Car Show was a little smaller then some of my other shows but we still managed to raise a generous $3715! I will also be giving all net proceeds from the Woodgrove Nanaimo Show and the Season Ender Show Mayfair Rooftop October 5th to the Help Fill a Dream Foundation. They provide a lifeline for families with children who are facing medical challenges.
Last year's Season Ender show was able to raise $3650 that helped a family and their 19 year old son James, travel to Huntington Beach California for the Cars 'N Copters event. I was part of the send off at their residence up in Sidney and was even able to take James for a drive in my 3 wheeled Sling Shot. It was an experience I will never forget and this is one of the many reasons why I choose Help Fill a Dream Foundation as my charitable cause.
Thank you to Craig and his whole team over at HFD headquarters for forever changing the lives of many families and children's in our local communities.
2025 SEASON OPENER
The Season Opener Car Show May 25th, we raised an Incredible $5010, I will also be giving all net proceeds from the summer show as well as the Woodgrove Nanaimo Show and the Season Ender Show in October to the Help Fill a Dream Foundation.
