Eccentric Execution // Enril’s MINI on RPF1
Popular, enjoyable, classy, and prestigious. What would that be? A wine that is. A fine traditional wine goes through a very lengthy process. From grapes harvesting to juice extraction to an alcohol fermentation process. The thoroughly controlled process affects every single scent and taste of the end product.

Mighty One // BMW 135i on PUR
The caterpillars. Some find them cute. Others like me, however, are keeping a distance from them. Not only because of their looks, but also because of their well-known defense mechanism, which would result in severe itch. Yet despite all that, they do look rather pretty thanks to all their cheerful colors and body patterns. They come in, green, yellow, black, …

Super Tourer // BMW M6 on BBS
Mis-Identity. These days we’ve been seeing more and more innovative cars being developed by automakers to fulfil the gaps in their product lineup. Mostly to cater the niche markets.

Original Recipe // Porsche Carrera S on BC Forged
Ah, the fried chicken. One of the most popular food in the world. Its savoury taste, crispy skin, juicy meat, and ‘quick-to-serve identity’ made this classic food downright irresistible. Why classic? Because the well-known-brand-I-can’t-announce started to make and sell his first fried chicken back in 1939! You could easily guess who he is. He first sold his product at his …

Against Time // 645Ci on ADV.1

Born in the rivers, a salmon can travel up to 5,000 KM throughout its entire life; going downstream to the sea after hatchery and returning back to the rivers for spawns. Yes, only the finest ones …
