Aftermath of track days.
These are the battle scars that will be a part of an important lesson. The road to become wiser and emerge stronger than ever before. The owner of this beautiful Honda S2000 is a NA purist who fancy neither forced induction nor superchargers. He prefers the age old trusty F22C inline-4 engine block produced by Honda for reliability and track stamina. One that displaces 230 horses to the wheels and redlines at 8000 RPM. And the good news for us car enthusiasts, we will see this legendary roadster on the roads through the next 10 years.

Together with the usual suspects from Carousell Motors​, we co-hosted Club A4, a purist car marque club consisting of only Audi A4s to their anniversary shoot meet at The Three Peacocks, just beside Labrador Park​. The event started in the morning and ended around noon. Activities galore for the members as they drove and stopped by the photobooth to pose with racequeens, joined the group formation at the parade square and then proceeded for catered food & drinks, followed by a club level lucky draw at The Three Peacocks restaurant.

Exclusive sponsors Stamford Tyres Retail Singapore​, Motoren – MTR​, Oxygen Performance Grooming​, Revo Technik​, Continental Tire​, Castrol​, Project de Creation​, Red Bull GmbH​ and XADO Singapore​. Supported Venue by The Three Peacocks At Labrador Park​.

Once again special mention to the core admin team for the unwavering support, and talents Vanessa and, Rachel​ for braving the scorching sun with their smiles.

Kombis, Vespa, ice-cream and everything vintage. A little different from our usual stuff but applying the same techniques of capturing posed candid shots, we had much fun photographing this beautiful small family of four during a sunset. All props are provided by the owners.

To have your vintage photo fix, we have our friends from Scoopy’s & Cream and partners to bring it to life. Just quote “Scoopy’s” for special photography rates.

With our partners in crime – Carousell Motors, we play shoot host to another “Pizzas ‘n Cars” session with a small but close knitted Volkswagen Passat Car Club. Perched on the rooftop of a multi storey carpark with a stunning backdrop overlooking the East Coast Park, everyone was largely undeterred by storm clouds looming in the horizon.

We have put together a short film featuring Vaune Phan and the tale of her little “from riding to driving” adventure. With the courtesy car from Liberty Boutique Auto, we took a day to film the various footages at three separate locations, highlighting Toyota’s latest hot property, the space-age looking crossover called the C-HR (Coupe High Rider), and Vaune Phan, a prominent lady biker to share her thoughts about the car.

From her own words, “Having been a bike enthusiast for the past years now, I thought it’d be interesting to share my perspectives and personal opinions on four-wheelers too. Now it seems that Hybrid cars are on the rise, as they’re not only environmental friendly, but they offer superb financial savings from having efficient fuel consumption too.”

You can enjoy the full review of the car on her blog.

Here is the video summary.

Some rolling shots during the filming set.

Introducing the first of many collaborations with Carousell Motors, we hosted a 50-car strong ///Modsters car club comprising both German marques BMW and Volkswagen to a food first, photography second kind of meet at Marina Promenade.

The event took us three hours to get every single car shot at our dedicated photobooth, and then executing an ambitious “///MOD” group formation representing the ///Modsters car club. An entirely successful maiden shoot meet for us all because of the planning and logistical competency of the club’s admin team.

A shoot of the unlikeliest car combo but a celebration of two very close friends. Both of them overachievers in their respective field of expertise. The only things in common, the matte wraps, the nonsensical banter, and of course the instigation to “poison” each other with car improvement ideas.

Abi is the proud owner of his matte grey Honda Civic, and Ian, the proud owner of his matte black Mercedes Benz C200 which he refers to as his batmobile. With a bit of luck, we were able to spend an hour shooting at this exclusive location until the security shooed us off. Definitely satisfied with the outcome, judging at how sleek the paint works of both cars showed up from the bounced lights.

Here is the shoot summary.

*Photographer’s note: The previous description of Type R for this Honda is wrong. We apologise for the error.

Sixteen years on the road and this Porsche Carrera 4S engine still ticks like clockwork. The interior is so meticulously re-trimmed and well detailed, it puts even one year old cars to shame. And the paintwork, absolutely flawless. This ultra rare ‎3.6L flat 6 water-cooled Porsche is superbly maintained by one of the industry’s best detailers and mechanics and we spare no effort to cover all angles.

Here is the shoot summary.

This is Europe’s 2015 ‘Car of the Year’ and the new Passat, now in it’s 8th generation over a span of 4 decades, has emerged as the winner by a clear margin. The R-Line packs more oomph to the already breathtaking proportions of the vehicle and spots a refreshingly handsome front grille, a sporty bumper, chrome side sill extensions and a pair of chrome-plated trapezoid tail pipe trims, to name a few.

Thanks to its innovative lightweight design, the new Passat is also about 85kg lighter than the previous model and the one we had on hand is powered by a ~216bhp TSI engine under its bonnet. All of the drive systems are new aboard and paddle shifters come standard. To add icing to the cake, the interior has been redesigned to something no less than avant-garde. Car nuts will be pleasantly surprised that the cockpit is very driver-oriented and ride data is also presented on a super cool active info digital display. The infotainment satisfies the geeks in us as the whole App-Connect suite is now built-in and encompasses the popular Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and also MirrorLink.
