Love is patient

Perfect 10 and Back Again

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008


Zucru is back from Fargo, where the Perfect 10 carshow was held! Thanks to Tintmasters for holding an incredible show, perfect in everyway!

This year, Zucru rocked it harder than ever! Zucru, and zucru friends and affiliates had 10 cars at this year’s show, which was held at the Fargodome for the very first time! Our line up included:
-The Don’s STi
-Madcyantist’s AE86
-mixed_menace’s RSTi
-Burns’ A4
-venZon’s IS250
-p.phresh’s Cooper S
-RS13’s S13
-initial_GT’s Impreza
-Angelo’s Sentra
-Da Twinz’s celica

Zucru brought back 3 trophies this year, Shaun’s RSTi took 2nd place subaru, and Francis’ RHD JDM S13 took 3rd place nissan and 1st place JDM. Congrats guys for a job well done!

The After Party was the perfect party rounding off the perfect event at Fargo’s “The Hub”. Which is a bunch of clubs, pubs and lounges encompassed into one large building. Our gracious Tintmaster hosts showed us a great time and showed us how they partied, while some of us showed them how we danced, battling local poppers and breakers!

Comments were overheard from people saying “why are there so many asians here?”, “Hey man, there are a lot of asian girls here tonight, check’em out!”

A collection of pictures from attendees of the show can be found here on our forum:

Shiny and New… like a Virg… er, Website.

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Welcome to the newly re-designed and re-vamped website.

It’s been a long time coming, about 5 years i think. And that’s a long time for a website! About 4 years too long for this site!

Since the 5 years, we’ve added new members, old members have gone, and cars have changed. Well, some of them have anyways, maybe not so much mine… but changed nonetheless. Have a look at the members section to see what we’re all driving these days.

As more content is available we will be adding some new sections. We’ve got a Podcast planned for your sunday night cruising pleasures from zucru’s very own turntablist, mixed_menace! New pictures will be also added from our budding photographers, and some other fine goods. So watch for us, it’s all coming real soon.

Zucru’s new website is being run by a blog, you can subscribe to our RSS feed and get updates as they come.

Thanks to all those involved to get this site off the ground. And special mention to Ken from Access Winnipeg for some guidance.
