On Sunday, July 10th, New Westminster hosted its 12th Annual “Show & Shine” extravaganza. It is an event designed to attract all things ‘cars’ and each successive year, it seems to get bigger and better.

Organizers expected about 100,000 attendees for this year’s display of over 300 modified/customized vehicles and judging from size of the crowds during the 8-hour show, they probably met their expectations. The bright, sunny weather, combined with loads of activities, definitely helped draw the large audience this year, many of them posing for pictures beside their favourite vehicles.

As usual, when it comes to a ‘car event’, CODE ZERO was right in the thick of things, showing off a couple of CODE ZERO vehicles and promoting its courses to those attending. The interest was high at the display with a large number picking up brochures and flyers and asking our ‘CODE ZERO Guys” a multitude of questions about the programs and courses being offered. Andrew Field, President and Manager of CODE ZERO and Tony Riddle, Lead Instructor proudly represented CODE ZERO during the event and while a little tired and sunburned at the end, they both left satisfied that it had been another worthwhile experience.

“Like us, many people are excited about our new facility now being constructed in Pitt Meadows,” related Andrew, “with over 500,000 square feet of paved surface soon available to us, we will have one of the largest driving facilities in Canada with unprecedented opportunities for our clients… both individual and corporate. While most of our programs can be conducted in small areas and on a variety of surfaces, in Metro Vancouver, we will soon have the ability to do multi-events at one location.”
