All at Once // Audi Q5 on ADV.1

I love surprises; there’s always something hidden and exciting out there, waiting to be found. That curiosity once brought me to ‘nasi bogana’; a local traditional cuisine consisting of rice wrapped in banana leaf, accompanied with eggs, chicken, and tempeh inside. A single, compact meal delivering all the right flavours and nutrients at once. Delicious! This Audi Q5? Well it’s …

Clean Cut // Yuga’s Skyline R33 GTS-T on OZ Pegasus

Say the word ‘Skyline’ and immediately a vivid R34 GT-R comes up in your mind. Yes, a bayside blue one, isn’t it? The kind of poster car that a lot of us growing in the Gran Turismo and Fast Furious era will surely be able to relate to. Next in line attached to the ‘Skyline’ name in our minds perhaps …

Risks & Beauties // CLS350 on ADV.1

Great risks come from great opportunities. Sure, comfort zones are becoming everybody’s most favourite shelters; but it’s also the biggest hindrance to one’s growth. Had Isaac Newton stayed in-house all day long, he probably wouldn’t have come across the falling apple; and the theory of gravity wouldn’t have been credited to his name. Risks keep us growing, make companies fruitful …

Gold in the Rough // GT-R R35 on ADV.1

Following up on our previous Solo city featured rides (which are surprisingly outstanding: from turbocharged GT86 to ADV.1 CRV), today I’d like to present this tastefully modified GT-R R35, captured by Winston J during his recent trip to the Batik city. A rare sight in itself, as a GT-R, in one of Indonesia’s most culturally-rich cities; today’s build managed to …

Extraterrestrial // RevoZport Aventador on ADV.1

Science-fiction. The wonderful land where real-world knowledge and out-of-this-world imaginations are fused together into a singular, speculative, and often controversial execution. Ever since the early 1900s, the world has been left in awe by the rapid growth of such ‘discovery of the unknowns’ genre. From books to movies to everyday objects, these are the often-future-inspired ideas that have become our …

Forces Unleashed // Calvin’s 435i on Vorsteiner

Ever since its inception in 2012, the 4-Series has been getting a curiously high level of attention from media and enthusiasts alike. While most are trying to wrap their heads around BMW’s agendas in ‘+1’-ing the 3-coupes into becoming 4-Series, others are left meticulously in awe by the new model’s fresh appearance and above-average performance. It’s sleek, it’s wide, and …

One Eccentric Crossover // Albert’s MINI Countryman S on BC Forged

Countless times we’ve encountered, in the dynamic stories of car ownership, owners have been setting their target cars ever since the beginning; the dreamed ride. There are, however, also stories of those never planning to buy a certain model, yet bewitched by the model’s persona upon viewing it in person on the showroom floor. This is especially true for Albert …

Never Subtle // Lamborghini Gallardo on Rotiform

Ruthless, cunning and dangerous. Ever since its humble beginnings in 1963, Automobili Lamborghini has continuously made itself known as the most outrageous and rebellious supercar manufacturer on the entire planet. Its raging-bull badge immediately indicates the supercars’ association with the wrath and life-threatening instincts of a beast. Uncontrollable and shall never be tamed. Predictably, most earlier model Lamborghini’s behaved in …

Dressed to Impress // Adrian’s F30 3-Series on BC Forged

Dressed to impress. Three words that could make an impact to everyone. Simply put, you have to stand on proper apparels in order to wow the crowd upon your arrival. Casual shirts and shorts can’t do the job on formal parties; Tuxedos meanwhile, isn’t the way to go for the beach party. Frankly, if you want to leave a mark, …

Classic Japan Twins // Jason and Eric x Integra Type R

It started off as an accidental inspiration when I (Jason) detailed Eric’s car couple of years ago. It looks real-nice and clean after the detailing process was finished. From that day onwards, it became an obsession for me to build one DC2R myself; tuned according to my taste. Therefore I slowly collected all the parts before even getting the car …

Primal Instinct // Marshall’s Cayman on ADV.1

Curves. They are much more seductive than straight lines, and even more alluring to the eyes than fractal lines. Whether it’d be in two-dimensional or three-dimensional forms, curves are incredibly good-looking in most design principles. Perhaps because nature itself lends to some of the greatest curves ever existed (from earth’s curvature to seagulls’ wings). This is why designers often create …

New Commander // Henry’s BMW M4 on Klassen iD

Henry Ford, the ‘father of automobiles’, once said, “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would’ve said faster horses.” Decades later, the father of iPhones, Steve Jobs, also repeated this idea in his own fashion: “people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.” In essence, these people shared the same idea about ‘visions of …

Frankencoupe // BMW 1M Coupe on ADV.1

Horror movie aficionados surely find the word ‘Frankenstein’ familiar. The tale of how a doctor builds a monster with body parts of various donors, jointed by his mastery in alchemy and chemistry. The tale has endured decades, resulting in the term ‘Frankenstein’ being used to describe things that are built upon a wide variety of seemingly random parts. Product manufacturers …

The Meeting Grounds Miami 2015

Last Saturday 25 July 2015, our fellow Indonesian contributor Fido G visited one of Miami’s latest automotive creative event: The Meeting Grounds. Conceived as a ‘night-life x car-show’ event, The Meeting Grounds managed to combine those two elements into a single all-in package for participants, which spanned across the entire weekend: FRIDAY 7.24 2PM – 7PM: Project MIA Pre-Meet at …

Supercoupe // RENNtech CLS63 AMG on Rotiform

Introducing: the new supervillain in town. With every single new 63 AMG introduced, there’s always a massive horde of review articles sprouting out online. Whether it’d be C63, E63, SL63, or CLS63 AMG. These are the cars that enthusiasts worshipped and conservationists despised. Muscular. Overpowered. Beast-mode. Overkill. Supercar killer. These are the words often used to describe AMG department’s peculiar …

From the Depths // Benny’s 435i on Rotiform

A special delivery. Ever since the 3-Series coupe was rebirthed as 4-Series, we knew that things are about to get way much more interesting. No longer would the coupe need to resemble any of the 3-Series’ looks, and no longer would it has to fill any predecessor’s shoes. Well frankly, it doesn’t have any designated predecessor anyway. The 4-Series is …

Irreplacable // F30 320i on Klässen iD

As time goes by, things inevitably age. In order to retain its value, whether in the sense of functionalities or simply for the sake of appearance, they are often replaced by newer counterparts. Whether it’d be gadgets, apparels, housewares; things have shorter-and-shorter lifespan in this era of rapid technological advances. Movies are recycled sooner than ever, smartphones refreshed yearly, ‘wearables’ …

City Cruiser // Romario’s F10 535i on AG Wheels

Boy, do I love orchestra performances. A pleasure to the ears, a calming sensation to one’s mind, and seeing musicians played the songs in harmony was also a spectacular view of its own. Managing the orchestra as a conductor is hardly an easy task, despite how natural they made it looked like; flailing flawlessly with the Baton (conductor’s stick) at …
