Shot during the 2012 StreetWise Auto Show at SM Center Las Pinas, Manila, Philippines. We spotted this cute baby girl, who was still wearing diapers under that attire, mind you, doing a dance showdown against this completely modified Honda Civic EG Hatchback bouncing on its custom hydraulic suspension, while music was blaring from its badass sound system.

Oh, and yes, we did ask permission from the girl’s parents if we can post it. Check out the video below. Enjoy!

I think old-school car enthusiasts of any age will agree with me when I say that nothing says “Pinoy Classic Car” more than the Mitsubishi Lancer Boxtype. While the rest of the world have been into restoring AE86 Toyota Corollas, then Pinoys have been into restoring these Boxtype Mitsubishi Lancers. I think this was due to the fact that this particular Lancer was made available here in the Philippines, while the AE86 was not.

Nevertheless, this is something that distinguishes us Pinoys from the rest of the world, and something that brings Pinoy car enthusiasts together across the globe. This car will always and forever be the Pinoy Classic Car.

The recently concluded StreetWise Auto Show held last May 12, 2012 at the front parking lot of SM Center Las Pinas, reminded me of car club meets where you do some hard parking, then chat with like-minded car enthusiasts. The ambiance was more like that than an it was an actual competition, which to me, was really good!

And Custom Pinoy Rides, being a media sponsor of the event, was able to do some awesome coverage with the “Car Photobooth” that we’ve set up. So Philip Aragones and I set out to work that day, and we’ve taken a photo of just about every car in this event. Rest assured that car spotlights will be coming showcasing some notable cars. In the meantime, here’s Part 1 of this event coverage. Enjoy!

Just when I thought that a Hachi-Roku couldn’t look any better, I came across this stunning AE86 Trueno Coupe by Toycool Garage. Instead of the traditional panda black and white that you’d usually see on just about every other AE86 in the planet, this example was done up in blue and black, giving it an attention-grabbing aura.

I can clearly see why they left the headlights up. Check out the projector lamps!

4AG, Individual Throttle Bodies, High Rise Headers, and all the bling factor you could ever want in a Toyota engine bay, including a mini-me RC Drift Car version!

Possibly the best darn AE86 Trueno Coupe ever. Would you guys agree?

Is this the coolest police car in the Philippines or what?

Okay, okay, I know it’s not a real police car, but rather, it’s the theme of this Nissan S15 Silvia show car. But wouldn’t it be cool if it were real? This is the stuff little kids who could be potential race car drivers when they grow up dream about when they play cops and robbers, car chase edition! The fact that it’s now a life-size driveable car is just totally awesome. Won’t you agree?

See you at Bimmerfest 2013!

The BMW Car Club of the Philippines brought out their meanest rides in this year’s Bimmerfest 2012. Held at the Bonifacio High Street on the 5th of May, we got to see the much loved and pampered beauties. On my way there it actually started to rain, so I wasn’t hoping on getting a lot of photos in, but as soon as I parked, the sun came shining, and a team of dedicated detailers worked their magic across all the cars in the show.

Part 2 will be coming soon so stay tuned!
