Thoughts On The New VW ID Buzz Concept
This video attracted my attention yesterday. It’s pretty hard to ignore. It’s the latest VW Microbus Concept called the ‘ID Buzz’, which is a weird name but since it’s a concept will probably change later along with any other technical details they might wish to add or remove. Car manufacturers launch concept vehicles to the […]
Chris’ Special DKW Repro
Sometimes you come across something special on your timeline, and the other day this came and I just had to take notice. After reading the comments it turned out to be a Reproduction DKW 175 VS fitted with a Honda TMX 155 engine. I asked the owner for an interview and he gladly obliged. But first, […]
‘That Zebra Should Be Dead’ & Other Thou
So here are my thoughts on some band’s latest video featuring some girl and some car. This is my favorite Rolling Stones era, in the early years playing the blues as unabashed Muddy Waters and Eddie Taylor zealots. Here’s the orig: Personal note: It is a type of music I have learned to appreciate as I have gone […]
What Was Worth Seeing At The Philbike Ex...
We went to the PhilBike Expo at SMX, Pasay City on Sunday, the last day, Nov. 27. Here’s what I thought was interesting: Greeting you at the entrance is this beautiful 1968 Schwinn Orange Krate, which is about as much a callback to one’s youth as you can ever get (or at least my youth that […]

This Administrative Order 155 allows VW vehicles exception from […]
My LOL For The Day

The red car switches two lanes to its right, therefore causing those lanes, including the one it came from, to slow down. As the lane slows down it backs up traffic behind it. And before […]
Four Thoughts On the 2016 Muffler Act &
This is late, but I just wanted to talk about the recent ‘Muffler Act of 2016’, which has been reported by the excellent local website Yugatech. One of the commenters posted an interesting ‘Noise Level Chart‘, which compares the dB levels to examples like home and yard appliances. In it, we note that the 70db limit […]
As Per MMDA, There Are A Hole Drivers. I...
Here are screencaps I took of their video, where it starts by taking a view (from as far away as 500 meters?!), of Edsa South Bound, where it crosses the Pasig River between Mandaluyong and Makati.It zooms in on either an Isuzu Highlander or Mitsubishi Adventure, whose driver stopped, got out and moved the cones […]
