On the same day that the AutoShow Fest was held at the Las Trinitarias shopping center in Barquisimeto, several car clubs from the city gathered nearby to participate in a two-day meeting, which was their last meeting of the year. They did so on Friday and Saturday, and I only attended on Saturday, taking advantage of the fact that it was close to AutoFest.

It was held at the city's fairgrounds, although to get in you had to go all the way around because they wouldn't let you in through the main gate. Those who were there didn't seem to feel like working and sent everyone to enter at the other end.

El mismo día que se celebró el AutoShow Fest en el centro comercial Las Trinitarias de Barquisimeto, muy cerca de allí, varios clubes de automóviles de la ciudad se reunieron para participar en un encuentro de dos días, que era su última reunión del año. Lo hicieron el viernes y el sábado, y yo solo asistí el sábado, aprovechando que estaba cerca del AutoFest.

Se celebró en el recinto ferial de la ciudad, aunque para entrar había que dar toda la vuelta porque no dejaban entrar por la puerta principal. Los que estaban allí, , no parecían tener ganas de trabajar y mandaban a todo el mundo a entrar por el otro extremo.

There weren't many people there, and not all the clubs were present. Perhaps they had gone the day before, because I saw some of them at the auto show festival. You would also have to wait until tonight, which is when more cars arrive with their lights and sound, making them more eye-catching.

I decided to take a walk around the area and take some pictures of the cars that were there. There are cars that have had a lot of money invested in them, with the modifications they make and the sound they produce. These clubs are organized by state and hold competitions, both regional and national. It's a whole world, people who are passionate about having their cars tuned.

No había mucha gente y no todos los clubes estaban allí. Quizás fueron el día anterior, porque vi a algunos de ellos en el festival del salón del automóvil. También se tendría que esperar hasta esta noche, que es cuando llegan más coches con sus luces y su sonido, lo que los hace más llamativos.

Decidí dar un paseo por la zona y hacer algunas fotos de los coches que había allí. Hay coches en los que se ha invertido mucho dinero, con las modificaciones que hacen y el sonido que producen. Estos clubes están organizados por estados y celebran competiciones, tanto regionales como nacionales. Es todo un mundo, gente apasionada por tener sus coches tuneados.

They were holding a competition between the vehicles, but without the engines running. It was just for fun and to avoid any problems in the area. They organized themselves into teams that had to push the vehicle in neutral and see which one won.

There were sweets, tequeños, and, of course, something that cannot be missing among lovers of spectacular cars: beer. It's something that seems to be inexorably connected. Cars, women, and beer. Personally, I'm not passionate about cars, and even less so about beer. Hahaha.

Estaban celebrando una competición entre los vehículos, pero sin los motores en marcha. Era solo por diversión y para evitar cualquier problema en la zona. Se organizaron en equipos que tenían que empujar el vehículo en punto muerto y ver cuál ganaba.

Había venta de dulces, tequeños y, por supuesto, algo que no puede faltar entre los amantes de los coches espectaculares: cerveza. Es algo que parece estar inexorablemente conectado. Coches, mujeres y cerveza. Personalmente, no me apasionan los coches y menos aún la cerveza. Jajaja.

It was already getting dark, so I quickly finished photographing as many cars as I could. More people were arriving, but seeing what time it was, I decided to leave. I would have liked to stay later, because with the lights they put on those cars, you can take very beautiful and striking photos.

I like taking photos and meeting all those urban tribes who are passionate about what they do. Do you like tuning your car? I'll read your comments.

Ya estaba oscureciendo, así que terminé rápidamente de fotografiar tantos coches como pude. Llegaban más personas, pero, viendo la hora que era, decidí marcharme. Me hubiera gustado quedarme hasta más tarde, porque con las luces que ponen en esos coches se pueden hacer fotos muy bonitas y llamativas.
