Wekfest San Francisco was absolutely ridiculous. I heard the lines were very long last year, but you really had to be there to truly understand how much the import scene is florishing in Norcal. A bunch of us from Chicago went for media coverage as well as others who came out just to enjoy the weekend/show.

The show started at 1pm, but we deceided to get there around 8ish so we could capture some of the roll-in. After securing a pretty nice parking spot, we walked to the event and then it really hit us how big this event was going to be. No joke, there was a line starting around 8am with at least 500 people or so. Mind you, people started waiting 5 hours before the doors opened!

So we'll start out with some pics from roll-in. Be on the look-out for more pics. We also will posting some personal shoots/features, as well as some pics of the egarage space, Impact Performance shop tour, and a visit to the Fatlace Paddock.... of course there will be tons of other stuff in between!

Cool pics. Thanks for sharing.

Here are some more I ran across: http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e60...sf-2012-a.html

 

Thanks for the pics Synth. This meet looks crazy. Of the pics you posted in the thread the Porsche and the Lotus are my favorites.

So is this basically the new meet to hitup each year now. I know at least in the Honda scene it used to be the Eibach meet but this seems like it is now the main event to hit up. Only reason I am wondering is I really want to drive out and hit up a show in Cali in the next 2-3 years.

 

Sweet pics. Some hot rides. Some not so hot... but to each their own. I'm sure it was an awesome event!!

 

Nice pictures. I saw everyone wearing jackets, and yet that chick was wearing next to nothing. She must have been cold.

 

Hot rides.

 

+1

 

Nice cars but man, I honestly cannot stand seeing street cars that low for some weird reason.

 

video teaser is UP. I highly recommend you watch and LIKE this:

that Porsche is just so awesome OMG

 

A lot of those cars look ok. BUT...I just do NOT get the attraction with the tucked, and cambered out the asshole, look.

 

How funny, I know that guy in the blue flannel haha.

Cool pics man. Hope you had fun in SF!

 

Come to Cali.... you'd love it here.

 

Lambo kills all. No Lambo pics?

 

I'm sure I'm in the vast minority. I'm ok with that.

 

I'm with pttl on that. Not my tastes but nice cars if they weren't so slammed.

 

damn i wanna go back to cali i miss Wekfest FML
