One of the most anticipated events of the year finally arrived last week, and our photographer Zak DePiero was lucky enough to take some time off and finally experience SoWo for the very first time. (quick recap of 2011 can be found here). As you can imagine it was bit of a task staying focused on shooting all the cars when you’re given an opportunity to meet so many awesome car people, but he did get enough for us to get the idea of what SoWo is all about. Cars, parties, friends and simply having a great time! Check out the 50+ photos below and look out for a special feature in the next day or two coming to us all the way from China. Big thanks to Zak for the awesome coverage!
