Power Wheels Magazine A Notch Above

It has been two months since we got our 1995 Jaguar XJ6 Power Wheels Magazine project car that we found abandoned behind a building in Parañaque. So far, we’ve washed the car, repaired the front grille, reattached the Leaper hood ornament, repaired some of the wires and hoses that were chewed by rats, had the gas tank cleaned and checked ...

In Part 3 of our Power Wheels Magazine Project Car series, we gave our 1995 Jaguar XJ6 4.0 SWB a long-overdue carwash ourselves just so we can remove around three years worth of grime off the Sea Frost Blue paint finish, as well as glide our hands across the British luxury car’s graceful curves. We were able to fix the ...

In the early 1900s, Henry Ford saw the increasing demand for more efficient mobility beyond the “horseless carriage”.  He designed and created the very first production line that made his car, the Ford Model T, more affordable for the common man. From 1980 to 1927, the Model T sold over 15 Million units and was considered responsible for putting America ...

In our previous report, we had our 1995 Jaguar XJ6 4.0-liter short wheelbase (SWB) luxury sedan, which we bought for only P50,000, towed by an Auto Transporter flatbed tow truck from its “resting spot” behind the MMM Building along the East Service Road in Parañaque to the workshop of JSK Custom Paint and Auto Works in Marulas, Valenzuela City. Once ...

We’ve been doing a lot of cleaning and organizing during the COVID-19 pandemic. When the metropolis was under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), we did a general clean-up of our residence and home office while under quarantine. When the restrictions were eased, we had some repairs done to our house. These past few months, we’ve been reorganizing our other businesses to ...

In our previous report, we wrote that on December 17, 2020, we went to Parañaque to inspect a 1995 Jaguar XJ6 4.0 short wheelbase (SWB) luxury sedan (known as the X300 within the factory) that was left unattended after its owner died while in another country. We found that it had deteriorated significantly after being exposed to the elements for ...

It started innocently enough. On October 11, 2020, we were having a snack after test driving the 2020 Jaguar I-Pace electric vehicle around the Arthaland Sevina Park real estate project in Biñan, Laguna. I was halfway through a delectable Wolfgang Angus Beef Burger when Chris Ward, the president of All British Cars, Inc., asked me a question that would unwittingly ...

My very first job was selling brand-new cars in 1989. Back then, features like power steering, power windows, power side mirrors, and central door locking were only found in expensive luxury cars. In the 1990s, mid-priced sedans began having these power features but only the top-end luxury cars had body-colored bumpers, a premium sound system, and rear aircon vents. In ...

In our previous report, we set to work on a Dahon Classic III EP203 folding bicycle that was given to us for FREE by Jericho Jamasali, the brother of our marketing boss, Shawie Dizon. The folding bike was bought used at a garage sale in 2019 for P6,500 for Jericho to ride when he commutes from his condo in Mandaluyong ...

First of all, we’d like to greet everyone a prosperous and blessed Happy New Year! We all had a tough time in 2020 and, as the saying goes, “When you’re down, there’s no other way but up”, we look forward to 2021 with a renewed sense of hope and enthusiasm. There’s also a saying about how “idle hands are the ...
