Indonesia’s Finest Automotive Movie To-Date // Street Society The Movie
Thirty high-end cars, about half of which are exotics. Ferrari. Lamborghini. McLaren. Bentley. Porsche. Over USD 11 million in total value fit into a single, Indonesian movie. How on earth are we not supposed to be amazed by such staggering efforts? It’s about time for Indonesian movies to shine. For us to be proud of ourselves in being Indonesians, being …

Show Off // Duta’s Accord on BC Forged
On today’s Show Off short article, we have a 2007 Honda Accord that’s been frequently seen at Jakarta’s recent meets and shows. Even though the seventh generation Accord has been around for 10 years by now, not many have been touched by owners’ customizations.

A Visit to RWB Indonesia // Terror Garage
Well. By the time of this writing I’m pretty sure you’ve all heard about RWB Indonesia; represented by the eccentric workshop called Terror Garage in Bandung. Throughout these past few weeks I’ve read all about their workshop and RWB builds all over Indonesian automotive medias. From magazines to online portals; from Path to Facebook posts. Seems like they’ve been greatly …

Achievements Unlocked // DMC Aventador on PUR
I’ve met a lot of people these days who are getting lost in the midst of their own busy schedules. Lives unbalanced, dreams forgotten. Trying to get hold of everything while not actually focusing on anything. Throwing so many darts so fast that none hits the bullseye. Some claim they lack the skills, others don’t even know what has happened. …

Purpose Built // Turbo Civic from Palembang
I could never get tired observing Honda’s generations, especially when it comes to the Honda Civic. Started its life as a practical compact sedan, with subtly sporty looks and huge potential for mods, the Civic often ends up as one of the most preferred base for project cars. Even Honda itself is producing Type R and RR versions on top …

HnP Bangkok Trip January 2014 // Part 1: The Midnight Run
We love Thailand. The amazing car builds. The spicy foods. The tremendous hospitality. Everything in the country seems so perfectly suited to us car lovers and good-food seekers. Last year we went there to visit the Bangkok Autosalon, while making friends with the Flushstyle community and doing a coverage for RWB Thailand. It was one hell of an automotive-infused trip. …

Permaisuri Thursday // Beetle on ERST Grora
Meet the Beetle. Arguably one of the most iconic cars ever built. Perhaps even as memorable as the Porsche 911, with a timeless design that has been passed over ever since it was introduced in 1938. However, unlike the 911 that still retains a rear-engine setup, VW has decided to relocate the Beetle’s engine to the front. Then also came …

Wallpaper Wednesday // BMW Generations
BMW is definitely one of the most popular luxury brands ever featured on our site. Despite having sales figures that’s only half of its major competitor’s (Mercedes sold 4,100 units vs BMW 2,211 units in Indonesia last year); I find it interesting that we’re seeing a much larger number of modified BMWs on the streets (also think about the ///M …

Built to Thrill // Posma’s N54 1M Hatchback
Started as a hobby and yet becoming a business? What could’ve been better than that? I personally started venturing into photography as a hobby, yet ended up becoming a part-time automotive photographer at the moment. A story that’s also happening to other HnP crews. Same thing has also occurred to Posma, owner of today’s outrageous 1M; his passion for BMW’s …

The Editorial Duo // GTI MKV & MKVI
Behind the site, behind the photo shoots, behind the writings, behind all these hobby/passion jobs we do at HnP, each of our crew members has our own car projects we’re working on. We’ve always loved cars; we continuously admire other people’s builds through our site features. And we’re also dreaming of one day having our own ‘killer’ builds to be …

Permaisuri Thursday // MINI on HRE Vintage
Low is not enough. These days the “aggressive fitment” scene has been storming our car culture uncontrollably. They’re everywhere. No doubt, most lowered cars look mindblowingly stunning when paired with the right set of wheels. But let’s do keep in mind that being low is not everything; it’s not the end of the story. Throwing out the springs off your …

Wallpaper Wednesday // Porsche 911 from Bali
These past few days the skies have been rather gloomy. Rains pouring down. Thunderstorms during the night. Traffic jams and flooded streets during the day. Hard times to all of us mobile creatures. Today’s Wallpaper Wednesday submitted by Dedenphoto from Bali pretty much captures all those overcast and cloudy feelings we’ve been having. But rest assured, the brighter days will …

Rapid Rage // CLS63 AMG on BC Forged
Hitting redlines. Exhaust drums on shifts. Real force of G’s pulling the body away from seats on every corners. Pushing tires’ tractions to their limits. Hearts pumped. Eyes focused. Mind strolls away in a hypnotic state of addiction. Addiction for speeds. Few, only a very select few of cars in this entire world that can satisfy enthusiasts’ thirstiest addiction for …

Show Off // Arief’s RVR on Volk Racing
Every once in a while we’d come across builds that go way beyond people’s expectations. Yes, we’ve featured Lamborghini’s with carbon bodykit the price of a car. Yes we’ve featured rides with wheels alone costing more than $10k. But most of the time, the bottom-line of these mods contributes to only a small fraction of the car’s price. So what’s …

Permaisuri Thursday // BMW 5 Series F10 on Hamann
Any BMW fan would’ve agreed that one of the most iconic wheel designs that look good on just every BMW model is the multi-spoked. Take the classic Alpina wheel as an example. From E30 to F01, they all look good sitting on those long, straight multi-spoked design lines. There’s a strong sense of class and heritage with those wheels, perfectly …
