It's been around a week now since UK had its largest car show of the year, Modified Nationals. As always, our photographer Rich McKee made it out with his crew, Fast-N-Modded, to cover the event for both sites and I'm more than excited to share this coverage with you guys today.

For those who have never heard about this event, Modified Nationals is more than just a regular car show. Starting since 2002, this event brought more than 20,000 enthusiasts from all around the world and organized one heck of a show. It's not only the best cars from the UK that participates, but also models and singers. Unlike the quiet crowd we have here in California, UK people know how to throw a crazy car show. What do I mean by crazy?
