Tuner Evo Pre Meet 2026

Mark at Legit Manila put together a pre-meet to fill out the weekend of activities surrounding the Tuner Evolution Import Car Show.

Orlando and his crew at Team Nostalgic invited me to cruise up to the location with them. It's always fun to drive to an event with a group of tuned cars. Good times!

The event itself was at XVP Studios, which is located in Lincolnshire. XVP is a production studio with numerous resources including a green screen studio, edit bays, and meeting areas. It was a perfect venue for a car show like this.

Mark always gives me a good spot at his shows with the 240, and I was extremely thankful to get a spot for my car inside the photography studio. With a white sweep background and excellent lighting, it was basically like having my own photo shoot for my car!

My 240 joined an impressive selection of import cars at the event, including Mazdas, Hondas, and even some Lamborghinis and Ferrari automobiles. Dave was there with his FD RX-7 and widebody NSX. Brett also had his LS 240Z at the show.

The Gallardo was owned by the SDR Garage family. The yellow color suits this car so well. To me, this car design has aged well and looks right at home at a meet like this.

Dave's friend brought his Ferrari SF90, which looked fantastic in the candy red color with carbon fiber accents.
