H2Oi 2013 Coverage by Chris Walsh Photography - Better Late than Never?

[Tonk]

Let's take a trip down memory lane. H2Oi was almost three months ago but I've been super busy, plus I edited each photo individually instead of running a batch edit, so that took me a lot longer than usual, blah blah cool story bro. I rode down in my friend's Opel Kadett with a Saab 2.0T swap.

I have 748 pictures in my flickr album which can be found by CLICKING HERE.

Nice coverage! That is a shit ton of pictures. I still don't really understand this Dapper thing, is it just a club or an actual company? Those stickers kind of irritate me for some reason haha no offense to those guys

[white out]

Great pictures of a wide spectrum of cars. Thanks for sharing!

[The Chosen One]

lovely, thanks for sharing!!

[projektzwo]

some really nice cars, thanks for the pictures

[R2dmax]

[kittenpuncher]

Great shot as always Chris, and yes "irritating" is one word of many that could be used to describe "dapper".

[SanderZ]

Thank you, so nice!

[saanyhall]

My goal is to have my car completely done by the time this meet rolls around again

[wilbersga]

[Dano]

[w201e34]

[Tonk]

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

It's kind-of both. It was started by Rodolfo Lamaestra who used to run Emortal.co. He organizes meets, takes pictures, runs a blog, sells merchandise, etc. People that have dapper stickers aren't part of the "club" per se, but they are a part of a nationwide (actually, worldwide) group/community. Theoretically it's about representing the finer things when it comes to automotive quality and excellence, but for Rodolfo it's about building his brand and making money from it. He's a smart business man and busts his ass, but with the growth of dapper comes both good and bad representation. Many of the guys who put a dapper sticker on their car think that gives them the right to be an elitist douchebag and they measure their quality of life based on how many instagram likes they get.

It's just like any other automotive group...it might get huge like Stanceworks, Canibeat, Stance Nation, etc or it might die out next year. Only time will tell.

Awsome.
