    Unusual Underground

    Welcome to the GG Underground, a place for Royal Origin and friends to go to when we want to relax after enjoying a day with each other, and just want to shoot some cars to end the night. We met up with Chris Foreman and his friends from Ladera Ranch, and Jomar and Josh from Temecula/Murrieta at our favorite place, Tastea, before heading to our late night spot. Check out my video below and our pictures from that night.

    CRZ surprisingly had enough room in the trunk for two people to play cards in it.

    A Royal Adventure

    Keith Cheng aka Keychain here, and this is my first post ever on Royal Origin. I am usually blogging and taking pictures for It’s JDM Yo, but I am here to share with  you our Las Vegas adventure through Jeff and my eyes.

    A few rolling shots on our way to Las Vegas.

     Ryan Gold’s Civic Si. He drove all the way from Santa Barbara to join this adventure with us.

    The Anniversary

    After a delicious breakfast at BabyStacks Cafe, some of us headed over to Chivas’ place to get some of the cars cleaned up and to relax for a bit before the meet.

    David, Chivas, and Nimo…probably checking Instagram.

    The Sunkist. All wet.

  • BabyStacks Cafe

    BabyStacks Cafe

    During our trip in Vegas, the Royal Origin and Lowballers fam wanted to gather up for some breakfast. We planned the night before that we would go BabyStacks Cafe, previously known as BabyCakes. Well actually, we had pretty much made it a plan to go to BabyStacks way before the Vegas trip. This was my first time (Vinh) in Las Vegas with everyone, so I was probably the only one who hasn’t had the opportunity to enjoy their bomb breakfast foods. Everyone always talked about how awesome their red velvet pancakes are. I had some pretty high expectations coming in for breakfast and I wasn’t disappointed one bit. It was amazingly life changing; I will never look at ordinary pancakes the same. A must-have if you’re ever in the area. Haha, sorry for my Yelp Review, now let’s see some photos.

    Everyone starting to show up at BabyStacks.

  • Days Before the Meet

    Days Before the Meet

    We couldn’t contain our excitement of going to Vegas and seeing our most favorite people in the world, so Jeff, David, Jennifer, and I decided to go a day earlier than the others to be able to bask in the Vegas morning. The route to Vegas was pretty shitty for slammed cars; everyone who rode in a lowered car could attest to this. Good thing we went late at night because Jennifer was swerving left and right when we hit the construction parts on the 15. Got to see a crew of modded cars rolling pass us, who also showed up at the meet! On the next morning, Friday, we went to go eat at Sushi Bomb; David always raves about this place and how amazing the Volcano Roll is.

    David and Jeff, the happy couple. Jeff only looks sad because he didn’t get his morning wood taken care of by David before going to Sushi Bomb.

  • Finding Nimo

    Finding Nimo

    This past weekend, Jeff aka “King Kumo” hit Nimo, Vu, and I up, saying that he wanted to come kick it in our area (Riverside/Moreno Valley). We were all down since we probably would have had nothing else to do around here anyway. Jeff was SO close to arriving here in one piece. Unfortunately, he had a battle against a piece of wood on the freeway and the wood won. He suffered a cracked lip and bumper…but he just saw it as an opportunity to get a new bumper. We ended up chillen and taking some pictures of Nimo’s Accord. All in all, it was a nice, chill day with the homies.

    Spotted Jeff and Vu’s car in the lot.

    Jeff met us up at the UV in Riverside and we had a quick lunch at Pho Vinamm.

  • WFC Venice Beach 2012

    WFC Venice Beach 2012

    This past weekend was the Wrong Fitment Crew meet in Santa Monica/Venice Beach. It was a highly anticipated meet since many websites, blogs, and forums were promoting the event. We all planned to meet up bright and early so we could all roll deep together to the meet, but that did not happen. Some of us met in Irvine and others met in Walnut. Fortunately, I live in the Walnut area, so I thought I could wake up 10 minutes before the meet-up time & still make it. Well, that was not the brightest idea. Since I woke up late, everyone else who was caravanning with us ended up being late as well (sorry everybody), and on top of that, the fact that I have an unfunctional car did  not help. We had to take two extra freeways because I could not use the normal 10 freeway (sorry again). But, after all the hecticness, we finally arrived in Santa Monica.

    We arrived around 10:30 A.M. Once we got there, our caravan was lost. There were so many cars coming from every direction, so we had to let people in between us. We waited about 15 minutes on the main street that led us to the parking lot, but we all ended up waiting for nothing because we soon found out that the parking lot was full, and the police were not letting anyone in. We somehow all managed to meet up again and parked in a parking lot across from the event.

  • The Night Ends.

    The Night Ends.

    It has been awhile since some of us have seen each other and been able to hangout. So, we decided to go to our old familiar hang out spots to just hang out like the good old days. This familiar place is called “The Lair.” Why? Because this is the place we would always end our night of doing hoodrat stuff together. It is an awesome place to be and the lighting there is quite interesting; always get some memorable shots.

    A quick video filmed and edited by Shavi W. of what the Lair is about. Friends and good times.

    Three perfect examples of the good-side of the Honda community, which we all hear negative things all the times, whether it is the driver or the car itself.

  • The Return of Celso Nimo

    The Return of Celso Nimo

    So our friend Nimo decided to bring his Accord back from the dead. He decided to debut it on the day of the University of Irvine car show.

    The morning started off pretty early. The plan was to meet at Minh’s house around 9:30, but like usual everyone was running late. Even Minh was running late and he lived there!

    The show started at 10 o’clock, but we did not mind, because we knew we would be showing up fashionably late. Once I arrived I immediately started shooting.

    The first car I shot was Jimmy’s Civic always breaks my neck, especially because of it’s crazy negative camber.
