DMPD Finest 2014
We head out to Belgium for the latest leg of the DMPD show series. After the amazing event, the DMPD crew put on at the Enka factory in Holland last year, when we got the invite we just knew we had to get our selves out to this one. The location this year was as out there as the year before it, Doel – a “ghost town” village that is quite possibly the best backdrop for a car shoot ever but first we have to tell you about the amazing Hotel they put visitors up in the night before and the car wash!
The morning arrived and in true DMPD laid back style the event starting time was "when your ready" with no rush it was a refreshing break from the 5am starts we are accustom too most weekends. A spot of breakfast and we headed out to Doel, "quite possibly the coolest location for a car show on the planet". Doel - A ghost town that has street art on every corner, the village was left to ruin after the properties being brought up by the cooperations for the expansion of the port of Antwerp but due to the fight of the few remaining residents (reportedly 20-30) and the fact the last addition/extension to the port was not yet being used to capacity, the village has been for the most part left to nature and the street artists of Belgium to take hold. The laid back vibe continued throughout, once you arrive you can park up where you like, simply find a cool spot, a building or some street art you like and park up, if you get bored of it, simply move. A popular spot was the old school building in the centre. The ability to move around the streets created a cool feel to the event, as well as looking at the cars in more detail when parked up its nice the real enjoyment came from seeing them rolling through the streets with the derelict buildings and street art as the backdrop…
