Restoring Stopping Power: Brembo Upgrades for My E39 Touring
If you enjoy driving, you know how much of a difference high-quality brakes make, especially when your old discs and pads are well past their prime.
Volkswagen Golf 7R: A Perfect Balance of Power and Practicality
Recently, while visiting the scenic seaside of Porto Martins for a family lunch, I came across a striking Lapiz Blue Volkswagen Golf 7R.
Open Base Day 2022 @ Lajes Air Base
Although it may not be as large as it once was, but there’s always something different to see at Open Base Day, and it’s still a fantastic way to spend the day. Due to security reasons, this major event in my hometown has seen its covered area significantly reduced year after year. Held at a […]
A Touch of Chrome: OEM+ Side Mirror Covers
The Mondeo came home when I was 15. Later, at 18, I was finally able to drive it and thus the modding fest began. By that point, all my knowledge about driving and “car decoration” came from intensive workshops and famous webinars you all may also be familiar with, called “Need for Speed” and “Forza […]
Challenge Accepted – Taking On The Yellow Prius
A microwave heats faster, but a BBQ tastes better. There was this yellow Prius (XW60) passing by while I was waiting at the STOP sign. I thought it was probably someone on their way to get groceries, but suddenly, I found myself speeding up and chasing it to the highway.The first section was uphill, and […]

Kickstarting Another Money Pit
As soon as the Renault 21 arrived at my new home, I began exploring what I could readily do, and it didn’t take long until I placed an order for the first batch of parts. Let another money pit begin. Everything is cheap for this car, although some parts may be difficult to find due […]
A Pleasant Surprise – Mazda CX3
I must say I’m not a big fan of Small SUVs. Have driven Crosslands, Capturs and 2008’s but none of them could get me impressed even by a tiny little bit. Those are just taller versions of reasonable hatchbacks like Corsas, Clios and 208s, not necessarily roomier, usually also FWD and the offroad ability is […]
Baby Steps on Project 21 – Wind Deflectors
I am a petrolhead since I was a little kid and quickly began to notice and get curious about the smallest details. Back then, everything was purely aesthethic to me and wind deflectors were maybe the first thing I can remember to dislike in a car. I wasn’t quite fond with the way it […]
