This past Thursday, I got a tip from a friend that Mr. Chris Foreman just got new wheels for his Z. After class, I rushed over to Ladera Ranch to see these bad boys in person for the first time. When we arrived, Chris had already begun to adjust his car to fit his impossibly wide setup. Full feature soon when his car is cleaned up and dialed in.
It was the day of the monthly Thursday night Euro meet down at the Laguna Hills Mall, so Chris was anxiously getting everything ready for the meet.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Low Ballers and Royal Origin family is having their anniversary meet to celebrate wonderful memories over the past years. Come join them in the fun.

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.

Went to LA with David and Jeff, just for a sandwich. But it’s not just any sandwich, it’s CAPRIOTTIS! We were introduced to this sandwich by Chivas in Vegas. Love the sandwich so much that every time we are in Vegas, we have to go get some. I usually get a 20” Capastrami and David usually gets the Bobbie. I’ll show you what it is in a moment. We took out the swag Camry because bitches love the Camry. When we parked, we realized that his car was the cheapest car on the whole block. We were in the city of BMWs and Lambos, where Lexus IS 250s were seen more than Honda Civics.
This is a multi-directional cross walk. We were so amazed by it that we went through it twice.
This will be my little introduction here on Royal Origin. Over the weekend, a couple of my friends and I went out on a little adventure to try and look for some places to shoot at. We tried to stay away from those traditional parking structures that everyone seems to choose as their default location for night shoots. We tried some locations around the Newport area, and came up with some spots near Fashion Island.
Here is Chris super slammed Nissan 350z. Many of you will think “wow, that car must ride like shit at that height.” Surprisingly, the ride on this Z is probably the most comfortable ride I’ve ever felt in any slammed car that sits as low as this does.
His car is still a work in progress and you guys should definitely keep an eye out on his car in the near future.
