Event Coverage ++PHOTOS... european hot rod & custom show, Belgium ++

There's a new show in Europe. And being the curious ones we are, we had to check it out. So we drove up to the little village of Chimay in Belgium and spent a fun weekend at the old Chimay race track.

Here are some of my pics from the weekend. Or click here for the slideshow:

This just proves once again that cool cars are a universal language! And the the HAMB is the vehicle (pun intended)

 

I watched the vedio that was on another HAMB thread, outstanding vehicles. My question is, are most of the cars ones that were imported from the USA or built over there, not that it really matters they all look like they would fit right in here along with their owners. Bob

 

Any idea who that artist is? dont normally see cool lowbrow kustom kulture stuff this side of the atlantic.

 

That's difficult to tell. I'd guess most of the cars were built over here. But where do you draw the line – if necessary at all. Take that black sprint car for example. Built and raced in the USA, imported to Europe where the entire drive train was replaced, a new shell and cowl were fabricated from scratch and the car was repainted, lettered and detailed. Where was it built now? Of course, there are a lot of finished hot rods and kustoms being imported. But they're still outnumbered by the cars built over here. Sure there's no scientific prove for this. Just my opinion based on my perception.

sorry, no idea.

 

mrjynx, That's the work of Mystic Al and Tiki Jurgen (Belgium)

 

HAHA, some dude repping Fresno in Belgium?!? Apparently he has no idea how lame this place is.

Awesome thanks! I was able to find their myspaces. there arent many local people who do kustom stuff like that. Always on the lookout for cool artists.

 

Great photos -- Thank you!

Beautiful photography as always. Thanks for sharing!

 

Chimay? Isn't that where the monastary is where the monks brew that tasty ale? Plus they have a race track and a dandy car show from the looks of it. Sounds like a little slice of heaven!

Thanks for sharing the great pics. And thank the monks for the wonderful brew!

 

Thanks for the comments. I just uploaded about 50 more pics. You can find the updated slideshow here:
