Toronto - Importfest 2012.

(Photos from the event)

Importfest as the name suggests is a gathering of import tuner rides from accross the GTA. This year's event was held on the second floor of the North side of the Toronto Metro Convention centre. There were some amazing cars to be seen and some surprises along the way.

The show allows sellers to display their products and allows professionals and hobbiests alike to showcase their work. There were some very artistic paint jobs to be seen and some clean well build engines to drool over.

So you've walked through the entire section you planned on seeing that first day, and you've met all the people who you were planning on seeing. You saw products you already know and like and then you saw those new lines that no one has seen as yet. By 5:30pm Its time to head out, maybe meet some industry friends for dinner and then on to the cocktail parties. Be careful not to make it too much of a late night - remember you've got to do this again tomorrow in another section of that convention centre at 9am.

Our day typically began at 7am - just enough time to prepare for a full day at the show starting at 9am. There are many sections to the show so you want to make sure you have you day planned out well. Deciding on which section you are going to visit in advance is essential because the show itself can be hugely overwhelming.

Prepare yourself for an insane amount of walking. The Convention center is very large and this show is the largest of its kind in the world. The right type of shoe should not be overlooked. You won't want to be limping and hopping through the convention centre - It doesn't look very professional.
