Thanks to the support from local automotive, bike and design communities, yesterday’s Zen Garage Grand Opening was a huge success. Despite not having any sleep from a gig the night before, DJ Dirty Dim Sum was cutting sick on the decks all day long. The rain held out, the BBQ and Squires Beers were smashed and Illest goods flew off the shelves.
Photos are starting to make their way online and a selection of photos feature below (be sure to visit the links at the bottom of the post for more).
Shop frontage.
Race Harness for crowd control.
Some keen peeps were lining up from 11AM (for a 1PM launch), by 12.30PM there was a line outside.
The first 30 people got a show bag full of goodies containing gear from Motul, Mothers, Exedy, JDMST, Zen Garage and more.
We had a photo wall set-up. Pics to come!
There was enough food to feed 100 people, unfortunately it all disappeared way too quick and left many hungry!
Sergio’s EVO was on display. Zen Garage stencilled onto the tyres, Illest sticker in Glitter Gold.
Tough right?
Cut it nice – DJ Dirty Dim Sum.
