Canadian International Auto Show

Over the Family Day weekend I headed over to Toronto for the first Canadian International Auto Show since 2019! The CIAS was the last major event I attended before COVID and it felt like a good bookend to the last three years.

The show itself was as busy as it could get with quite a few manufacturers and car collections on display. There were some notable absences, mainly Ford and every major German car company, but as production shortages let up I imagine those companies will return to the convention centre show.

Special thanks to the staff at the Oblivion booth for letting me really dig into their great collection of forgotten 80s and 90s cars and the arcade they set up in the back!

Toronto Trip

My wife and I went to Toronto for the evening. Her and a friend went to a Lady Gaga concert and I wandered around downtown Toronto and took photos.

Good deal.

Pearson Plane Spotting

Went to Pearson International to pick up my wife and spent an hour beforehand taking photos of some of the landing airliners.

I hadn’t done any airport plane spotting in a while, and lucky for me all arriving flights were being diverted to the runway where it’s easiest to take approach photos. Made for a good way to kill some time and was good practice for this year’s airshow season!

Toronto Weekend and Collecting Cars Show

Went to Toronto for a mini-honeymoon weekend and took in the city sights.

I hadn’t been to the city for almost two years, and took the opportunity to accept an invitation to a car show put on by Collecting Cars and see the Beyond Monet exhibit at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
