my camera is on the other side of canada
bummer

i had a guy pm me on jdmr today,
"i wanna know more about union"

so i just started typing, and this is what i ended up with. 
figured i'd post it up on here, because it rang really true with me, 
especially tonight.

Hey man.

We've been around for about 2 years now... I basically just started the whole thing to keep building the local drift scene we have. Because we are organized as a club, it offers us the chance to keep costs low, and still allow us to be on the forefront of street car fabrication. We like building our own cars, and when we get the chance to build it for someone else, sweet. I've got a full-time fabricator and a full time mechanic on staff. We do everything from motor swaps to roll cages to multi link arms. My guys are extremely talented, and there is no way that anything cool would ever happen without them.

As for past work... a lot of it never got documented, just because we were doing it for the love of doing it. Funny how having an outlet (the blog) makes you want to take pictures of everything!

But the bare-bones of it all is...

If people stopped giving us money to do the things we do, we'd still be doing it. We might not have as nice of a shop, or that new tube bender.... but we'd still be driving, and we'd still be building cars.

Love of the game!

  1. That's a cool write up. Good thing you guys got a blog up and running. More people need to know about Union and the dope work all of you do. Actually, February is reader week at speedhunters. They're doing full features (I think) on readers cars, crews, etc. You guys should write something up and submit it! Keep up the good work!

  3. It's true. Union is a sick shop, and not only serves to improve the car scene, but to bring people together as well.
