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 our previous report, I narrated how I injured the middle finger of my right hand while I was trying to restart our 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle 1303 S project car that stalled along a dark road on November 22, 2020. The doctor advised me to rest and NOT work on anything that would aggravate the swelling of my middle ...

If you know what this vintage British sports car is, then you’re more of a car nut than we are. We were happily daydreaming while browsing our favorite foreign vintage sports car website when we came upon this eye-catching 1965 Ashley Sportiva in Soesterberg, Netherlands that was being sold for 22.950 Euros or about US $27,700, which converts to around ...

With the COVID-19 pandemic confining most of us indoors, we’ve decided to turn our attention (and our wrenches) from the project cars that are parked outside our home to the bicycles that are parked inside. Some of our readers may scoff at this development but please remember that bicycles are human-powered wheels, which makes it a subject worthy of Power ...

I have neglected most of our personal project cars due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the lack of sufficient funds. As most of you, our dear readers, can recall, I got this 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle 1303 S from the late Ildefonso “Fons” Caluag in June 2019 as a gift or token of appreciation for helping restore his beloved cream ...
