Lights & Flashes // Uut’s BMW 335i F30 on ADV.1

Unheard, Uncommon // Audi Q5 on Rotifom
It all started during WWII, when the Allies-faction needed light vehicles capable of crossing rough battlefield terrains with troops, equipment and supply-carrying capabilities.

Throughout the war, civilians saw these vehicles in action and grown way too fond of …

Daily Intake // Scirocco on SSR
In most aspects of our life, simplicity rules – the ‘less is more’ approach is far more satisfying and reliable than the opposite. Picture a simple, honest drinking water. No matter what your favorite drink is, you can’t truly quench your thirst without the simple-and-honest water, nor you can live without it. It’s the little things that matter the most. …

High Taste // Mercedes Benz CLS on ADV.1
Should you follow your minds, or should you listen more to others’ opinions? Too often in this car culture we’re living in, we’re worried about what others are thinking about our cars.

Ripe and Hype // C Class on Rotiform
A lot of foods taste better when they are left ageing for a period of time, or ripened. Take a look at cheese. After being produced from the curdling and curd processing, most cheese are left to rest from a few days to several years. Cheese that take longer than usual amount of time, or are more difficult to process, …

Beauty in Subtlety // MINI Cooper S on Rotiform
Retro-design rules! At least that’s been the case for all MINI’s. With its iconic rounded styling, MINI’s have exhibited a strong ‘two sides of a coin’ appearance; often kinda-cute in stock form, but also very aggressive when modded. Two very different personalities often found among the MINI’s rolling on our streets. Today’s featured MINI, however, has gone through a totally …

Season of Wheels // Rainer’s F10 5-Series on BC Forged
If there’s one part of a car that I love most, it’d be wheels. For one, they represent one of the largest exterior percentage area of a vehicle. I mean, what else can you replace in a set of four! You can only have one spoiler, one front bumper, and at most, only sideskirts come in pairs. Just kidding. Well, …

Beautiful Mayhem // Charly’s Juke on Desmond
Automotive design has always been a very challenging process. A car should look good from all angles to sell well (except from the bottom, that is). It should contain the brand’s identity, coupled with the need to keep up with the latest design trends, and capturing people’s attention at the same time. It’s not a rare occasion for car designers …

Almost Melancholic // Frido’s 1-Series on AC Schnitzer
“A way of standing or being placed – Stance.” Fender-to-lip fitment, humongous-width wheels, aggressive camber, stretched tires, minuscule ground clearance, and righteous offsets are the terms that need to be assessed when you are seeking after the perfect ‘stance’. However, there are also plenty of infamous side-effects to such a movement, namely ruptured oil pans, scraped fenders and undercarriage, cracked …

Some of the most venomous animals on land came in a wide variety of reds. Flames and fire blazes come in all different shades of red. Unmistakably, researchers have pointed out that red …
