When you mention the word “Levin” it invariably means you are referring to the fabled AE86 Corolla that we all know and love, especially on here on Autolifers. However, there is much more to the name Levin than just the AE86 and one of the rarer Levins would be the AE111. This example is fitted…
There is only one question and only one: How did I live 24 years without a red spyder? Seriously… Thanks to Mazda Italy I have spent three weeks with the fourth generation of the Mazda MX5 and I had changed to a state of bourgeois euphoria driving along the Amalfi coast with my sweet half…
The M3 has come a long way from the E30 in terms of power and technology but BMW have done a great job of keeping the spirit from its iconic 80’s DTM grassroots alive. Viney Chan is one of those guys who appreciates this! Using his E90 M3 as a tool to compete and set…
