Born to Be // Armand’s F30 on BC Forged

Distinctive reverbs. Pitch-perfect high tones. Energetic acts. Powerful shouts and screams. Lively performances. No I’m not talking about the car. It’s Armand, the owner of this F30 3 Series we are featuring today. A talented singer. An inspirational figure. A loving husband and affectionate father. He’s none other than the lead vocalist of the 13-year-old successful Indonesian rockband: GIGI. Born …

JDM.RUN Cruise // Photo Coverage

Traffic congestion. Reckless bikes (not all, but a lot are). Careless public transports. There are plenty of things to moan about when it comes to the daily conditions of Jakarta’s roads. And driving precious gems on these roads often proves to be an even worse experience. Worrying about scratches? Overheats? Hidden potholes? Crime threats? But then there’s always that time …

Permaisuri Thursday // Range Rover Vogue on Kahn

The Range Rover Vogue. A beast of might and luxury. It lets you travel across all nasty, muddy terrains while still being snuggled by its spacious first-class cabin. As sturdy as a brick, yet as relaxing as the ocean’s breeze. For years Land Rover (company) has used this formula again and again for the RR, successfully catered to the needs …

The Continental Coupe // Lukman’s E Coupe on BC Forged

From the same owner whose GT86 was featured several days ago, here I bring to you his Mercedes Benz E Coupe. A pair of two-doors. One Japanese. The other being European. Two entirely different breed of coupes. Both has been installed with mods that have boosted up their aesthetics and performance areas. But while the GT86 has been planned to …

Permaisuri Thursday // M135i on BBS

Meet BMW’s latest creation from its BMW Performance division. No, it’s not one of those full-blown performance-focused M cars. Compared to the 1M coupe, for example, this M135i shares more of its traits to the standard 1-series hatchbacks, rather than the limited-run coupe. An angry-bird-looking facia with a sleek rear end, the M135i’s design and functionalities resembles those of BMW’s …

HnP’s Visit to Autohaus RWB Thailand // Photo Coverage

RAUH-Welt Begriff (RWB). Which translates to “Rough World Perception” in English. A mystical recreation of track-ready air-cooled Porsche’s initiated by Akira Nakai from Japan. Widened bodies. Deep-dished wheels. Outrageous aeros. Authentic. Unique. Explosive. These genetically altered creatures aren’t for the close-minded car enthusiasts. They are art-like. Japanese-culture design dialed all the way up to 11, infused into European classics. And …

Primetime // Lukman’s GT86

The mountains. Pitch dark. Screams of revving engines in the distance. Dancing headlights. Screeching tires. Coming closer every seconds. Upshifts. Downshifts. Revving symphonies among what seems to be two cars racing across the mountain roads. It was getting louder. And louder. Breaking silence as they passed. Coming closer and closer. Moments later a flash of pop-up headlights passed by right …

Art in Motion // Ronny’s Phantom Hot Rod

In the world of custom cars, we can often separate mods into two different kinds of styles: the controversial vs the conventional. Aggressive fitment, DUB, Lowrider and VIP styles, for example, can often be found as controversial ones. Pushing out boundaries and going as far as sacrificing performance/function for the sake of looks. All about breaking necks all day. Go …

Untamed // Mario’s E92 on Volk Rays G2

Singapore. A country so small that the government is now discouraging its residents even further from owning private vehicles. High taxes and ownership fees. High daily expenses (gas and parking fees). Speed limits. Restrictive aftermarket modification rules. All these have raised huge bars of steel surrounding Singaporean motorheads. Even the fact of owning a car has become merely a dream …

Sound of Glory // Arie’s C63 AMG on BC Forged

If there’s ever a car lacking an audio system and yet I wouldn’t be complaining about, it’s going to be the C63 AMG. I’m not entirely sure as to what Mercedes has done in the engine and piping compartment, but the noise that this thing makes is downright magnificent. Rumbly grumps with just the right amount of boom. It almost …

Against The Current // E90 on Volk Rays G12

German vs Japanese. What’s your take on these two countries when it comes to cars? Are the Germans always better at vehicular engineering compared to the Japanese? Has the phrase “German Engineered” become no more than one of those overly used promotional materials? Then how could you explain the dominance of Japanese cars at third-party vehicle-reliability-ranks such as J.D. Power’s …

The Ace // Davin’s Scirocco on ADV.1

The day the Scirocco 1.4 was launched was the day that has transformed the two-door hatchback/coupe market in Jakarta forever. Gone are the days of expensive two-door cars. With the Roc’s ‘twincharger’ system and seductively good looks, it’s hard not to look away from it from a new car buyer’s perspective. Costing just a few millions Rupiah more than a …

Couple of days ago I’ve posted the Accord on BBS shot by Charles, and today we have this S500 on VS as our spotlight, sent in all the way from Surabaya. Having owned the S500 …

Permaisuri Thursday // Aston Martin Vanquish on Advan

“The best Aston Martin ever”, as quoted from Aston’s official site. Now that’s an outrageously bold statement coming from a 100-year-old car manufacturer. How can it be that the Vanquish is the best car they’ve ever made in 100 years? Their flagship of the century? Let me give you a tour of its mind blowing features. 573 PS. 620 Nm …

Show Off // Arief’s Accord on BBS

Every once in a while I’d come across some uniquely memorable cars at car meets. Throughout the year 2013, one of those cars is Arief’s Accord on BBS. I first spotted this ride at the GENESIS pre-registration meet, at Senayan. It’s bluish off-white color was the first to attract my attention, followed by the aggressively fitted BBS wheels.

A Voyage // Ian’s F30 on VMR

As we were planning our Bangkok trip last June, we made a few appointments with both local communities and Indonesian car lovers who were residing there. Upon checking our Facebook likers and instagram followers for Thai fans, we bumped into Ian’s post of his car in instagram – the F30 you’re looking at today. Turns out he’s a fellow Indonesian, …
