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.

Robust // G500 on AMG Wheels
It looks a lot like a bank vault isn’t it? Tall. Boxy. Heavy. Clunky. And, coincidentally, it often functions like one too: carrying valuable celebrities and athletes inside. While it might not be bulletproof nor as techy as Bond’s rides, the G500 does offer the level of comfort and versatility desired by VIPs and wealthy passengers. Whether it be city …
