Fast and the Furious 5 Event in Manila!

With the re modified PLDT car

It was a hot day! The event for today was the Fast and Furious 5 car event show! Now I have been to many car shows like in Dubai, U.A.E and L.A, California. I am a big fan of Fast and the Furious franchise! Vin Diesel is an amazing actor. Fast and the Furious is known for displaying the street race culture in the US. Along with the street culture, it also displays the latest in car re modification. It was the Fast and the Furious franchise that put car re modification and street racing on the map! It became more fast famous due to its multicultural society, great soundtrack and of course good looking women!

I thought the Philippines would be a bore and it wouldn't have any of the same thrill like they had in the car shows in the US. Was I wrong! Filipinos are still creative. I guess its that Asian flavor that we all have and install it into our cars. The event was on April 30th, 2011 on a Saturday. I have to say it was a little hot so that means a lot of people came in their shorts, tank tops and shades. I was like wow! The music and scenario was intense! If your a car lover like me, then its a car lover dream come true.

I have to admit, one of the best parts of the event was the drift competition. I had the best view of the race and the drift competition was intense. All I could hear was the sound of the wheels screeching at every drift and the smoke coming out of the tires. The announcer kept the crowd on its feet with his brilliant social skills. I took some great pictures! I would rather let my pictures do the talking! More pictures coming up soon!
