Ah yes, the celebrity lifestyle. The glitz, the glamour, the fame. But what you may not see is the hard work they put themselves through to get to where they are. The demanding schedule being asked of them is not for everybody.

But still, celebrities are human beings who, just like you and me, also need rest and sleep. So how do they cope with everything and still manage to sleep? The answer is what you are gazing at on this very article – a “house on wheels” – a mobile version of “home” which they can take with them anywhere they go.

Now the celebrity who owns the vehicle we’re featuring for you today is someone who, if you’re a real Pinoy, requires no introduction. Ladies and gentlemen, she is none other than Kris Aquino.

As Kris needed one such custom ride suitable for her lifestyle, who did she call on to create such a vehicle? Who else but the best in the industry… Admired by the masses, emulated by contemporaries. The one, the only, Atoy Customs.

Read on to see the full gallery showcasing Kris Aquino’s Hyundai e-County Bus customized by Atoy Customs…

Looking at the inside from the driver’s seat.

Seats facing forward to watch movies on the flat-screen TV…

Or facing each other to talk business.

A simple bench-type couch…

Unfolds into a bed.

Widescreen HDTV and DVD. Yeah!

Toaster, microwave, cabinet.

What’s a mobile home if it doesn’t have the ameneties of a sink and bathroom?

The sink is yellow…

And so is the toilet.

Oh yeah… you read the title right… “Carnage”.

Of course, apart from the carnage, this video highlights our very own Pinoy Formula Drift driver David Feliciano of DMF Drift, as seen in the Malaysian Leg of the 2010 Formula Drift Asia.

So what are you waiting for? Check out the video now!

People will never ever complain about this being short and fat. Coz it definitely ain’t ugly! As usual, Cartistics Garage never faultered. This is probably one of the most well executed Widebody Toyota Starlets you can find anywhere today.

This is an “AC Schnitzer-ed” BMW E90 3-Series. And boy does it look good. Come to think of it, the AC Schnitzer Type IV wheel design on this beauty has been around for a number of years now, but so far, the design never seems to grow old, and seems to look good on just about any generation BMW you put it to! Talk about timeless design. You could never go wrong with it.

Whoever said Toyota MR2′s can’t drift? Well, they’re dead wrong. Or maybe they just need to learn from Ian King! He can show you that it’s definitely possible, as you can see in these photos…

Thanks to Iori Suzuki for volunteering his precious MR2.

For the tech nerds out there, the diff is a viscous unit. Not a clutch-type 1.5 or 2-way LSD. Oh yes, it is possible…

Who says Alex Car Restoration only deals with classics and exotics? You’re dead wrong! This 2000 Euro II Corolla is proof of that. And being entered in the 2010 Manila Auto Salon, you can bet it’s another winner! And it is indeed! Bagging a major award as Best in Paint, and a minor award as 3rd Place Best Compact. Mar Medina III of Toyota Auto Club of the Philippines sure has something to be real proud of.

Here’s another view from the rear quarter…

Jeff’s Offroad has done an awesome job with this Toyota Hilux. It stands up to its name now, being High, and Luxurious. Fitting for the name this truck was given and dhow it was intended to be don’t you think?

If you see a bunch of old school cars lined up altogether, it’s surely a sight to behold. Old school nostalgia is like no other. Especially if you see a pair of nostalgic twin Toyota Corollas. Be it in sedan, or fastback flavors, you can never go wrong with it. It truly is one of the grand daddies of JDM culture.
