The Impeccable Family Van // Winston’s Alphard on Rotiform
The family van. I’d say it’s one of the most perfect candidates for an air-suspension setup. With air-ride sedans, it’s more of a form-over-function kind of purpose; yes, mostly all about looking good aired-out. But with vans, I feel like it’s totally a different package altogether. Yes, they also look supremely good aired-out; but most importantly, the passenger-access for getting …

Extra Strikes // Cayman on Brixton

Dazzling // Denny’s W212 on OZ Futura
It’s one of those models you probably would have skipped; the E-Class sedan. That is, when you’re considering a new toy as your new project car. Mid-size, rather bland, very ‘corporate-fleet’ looking, and largely ‘Boring’. The S-Class would’ve been a greater platform for VIP-styles, while the C-Class would be perfect for sportier projects. Today, however, Denny is proving us otherwise. …
