Permaisuri Thursday // Scirocco R on Rays
The Scirocco. The lineup that’s been missing for 16 years in VW’s portfolio. The last MK2 ever produced was in 1992, and it wasn’t until 2008 that VW decided to bring the Scirocco back to life. Perhaps it’s due to the Golf’s popularity, and VW not wanting to eat away the sales of its own hatchback lineup. But then the …

Fancy gadgetries and aerodynamics.

Show Off // BMW F10 on Hamann Race Edition
Wheels make it or brake it. I am standing by that philosophy. What follows after wheels would be their fitment and dimensions as suited to the car. From diameter, width, to offsets; these are the ‘orchestratic’ combinations that can sometimes be difficult to understand, yet are playing a very crucial role in making up the overall look of the car. …

Permaisuri Thursday // Jaguar XKR-S on Forgiato
You can tell that things are getting pretty serious when a manufacturer has stuffed pairs of 380mm-front and 376mm-rear disc brakes on their production ride. With engine outputs surpassing even that of Jaguar’s own XJ220 supercar from the early 1990s, this feline we have today has surely been raised in the wild. Born to brawl with the AMG’s and the …

At Nightfall // The 1968 Datsun Sunny Coupe
I was having dinner at a Padang restaurant the other day. It was about 9pm. I sat down at a table next to the entrance and saw a weary looking man getting off his bicycle, who then entered the restaurant. His eyes were fatigued.
