Dreamz II Reality Summer Dreamz Car and Bike Show, October 9th, 2010

Saturday, October 9th saw Cruisin’ Photography attend Dreamz II Reality’s 2010 Summer Dreamz Custom Car & Bike Show at Porter and Chester in Rocky Hill. The show was billed as “ a time to relax and enjoy the last days of the New England show season” and it certainly lived up to that description.

A few weeks before the show, Dreamz II Reality (DIIR) president Jerry Zayas approached us asking if we would like to attend as vendors and display our range of one-of-a-kind Digital Auto Art images. We readily agreed and turned up at the venue with all of our display gear. After we had set up our display, we kicked back a little and spent some time with the DIIR club members and their families.

Around 60 cars and bikes turned out for a relaxing evening. Among those attending were Tom Santos and Sergio Ortiz (and families), from the Hard Hittn’ Lowz club, in their Impala lowriders. Tom is another of Cruisin’s Star Car owners. We featured his car in June after the E.J.K. show in Middletown.

Sam and Laura Vega from the Connecticut’s Finest Auto Club collected their commissioned 20 x 30 Digital Auto Art image of Laura’s beautiful Toyota Camry from us during the evening. We were also paid a visit from the Street Dreamz motorcycle club. It was good to see Robert, Jay and the guys again.

As the cars arrived, we were amazed to see a Saturn driven in by a Na’vi from the Avatar movie… we knew something was afoot when he sounded just like Michael from the Street Terminators club!

Wherever we looked, there seemed to be a friendly face greeting Kathy or me with a handshake or a hug. Situations like these make the shows so enjoyable. We’ve met a lot of good people this season, way too many to mention by name. Kathy and I would like to thank them all for the warm greetings and friendship they have shown to us throughout the year.

At the end of a very informal evening, the awards were given out. Best of cruise went to Sergio’s Impala, best engine went to Carlos’ Ford Mustang and best club went to Street Terminators.

Thanks to Jerry, Maria, Gary, John, Cookie, Slick Willy, Beckie, Dominic, Peter, Kathy, Jeff, Pedro, Tom, DeAnna, Ray and the rest of the DIIR crew for a great afternoon and evening. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
