The History Of The Enchanted Dreamz Car & Bike Club
All Car Clubs and Bike Clubs have a History. The Enchanted DreamZ Car & Bike Club is a unique group like no other. Starting from one boy with one dream who wanted to bring the lowrider movement to another level in his city of Miami, Florida. As of today, Enchanted Dreamz currently has 2 chapters located in Miami & Hampton.

Enchanted DreamZ formerly had chapters in Evansville, Indiana; Cape Coral, Florida; Charlotte County, Florida; B.C., CANANDA; Bayonet Point, Florida; Tampa, Florida; & Orlando, Florida. The Founder/CEO Dimitris Labatos created a timeline of what it took Enchanted DreamZ to create such a Club in almost TWO Decades!
