Considering the fact we’re smack-bang in the middle of the summer season, it’s time to take a refreshing drive down to the beach. And what better type of car to do that, than with a Beach Car? We’ve touched upon the topic once before when we showed you the Meyers Manx, Renault 4CV Jolly, the […]
As a biker myself for a little over a year now, and having recently purchased my very first motorcycle, my interest is not purely focused on cars anymore.

Despite increasingly strict regulations like EURO 5 emissions and decibel limits, we’re in a golden age of motorcycles. 200+ horsepower engines are no longer uncommon in bikes that an average Joe can buy, which was unthinkable until the last decade or so. Technology, engineering innovation and a bit of sorcery have allowed motorcycles to evolve […]
Ferrari’s history books are riddled with the world’s most desirable performance cars. Since the birth of Ferrari in 1947, the manufacturer has pushed the envelope in both design and performance, with countless hits (and some misses) to its name.
