GESROT // Jason’s 3 Series on Hamann
Let me start this one off by reminding you how lucky we are who modify cars within Indonesia. No speed limits in practice. No modification rules. Easily accessible imported parts (though I’m afraid that might change in the near future). Wanna sweep the streets with your static-2MM-ground-clearance VIP Lexus? No problem.

Permaisuri Thursday // Wide Body Expression R SLK on HRE

Daily updates from these sites have pretty much given me the latest info on new car releases, the hottest wheels in the scenes and most recent automotive events around the world. Years after years have passed with such a routine and sometimes things are …

Impeccable // Nico’s BMW Z3 on AC Schnitzer
Thirteen. That’s the number of years this particular convertible has been roaming the streets of Indonesia. Yet the odometer hasn’t even touched 30,000 KM. Pristine and well cared; finding such a gem on the market proved to be a very rewarding experience for Nico, owner of this silver Z3. While younger generations might not know about a Z3′s retired-celebrity status, …
