Another quarter, another meeting. 2023 seems to be flying by pretty quickly, don’t you think? While COVID is still lurking around in the shadows, for most of us, life as we know it seems to be going back to normal—whatever “normal” may be, of course. For myself, this has inevitably meant more days back in […]
Read more "Joy of machines: CARS & KOPI Spring 2023."Now that the festivities, feasting and revelry have more or less concluded, I figured it’s time to wish everyone a Happy New Year and a blessed 2023. What a year 2022 was, from the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions, the resumption of leisure travel and the return to a sense of normalcy for many of us. […]
Read more "Class of 2022: CARS & KOPI Winter 2022."It was bound to happen, after being blessed with lovely weather for the numerous meet-ups for the last few sessions, the skies finally opened up and emptied themselves over Dempsey Hill on the morning of our third meet of the year, Not that it was entirely unexpected though, considering it had been raining every other […]
Read more "Oktober-rain. Cars & Kopi Autumn 2022."Welp! It looks like this is my final post for my lovely Munich Springtime trip roundup! Whilst admittedly I did not set about doing much street spotting, I still managed to capture quite a few interesting autos just walking around town. So without further ado, here are the cars of Munchen. A lovely pair of […]
Read more "An Auto-Otaku in Munich 2022: Street spotting"Granted, it has been months since my trip to Munich but I still do have a few more things to share, this one though, I’m guessing, isn’t quite for everyone. So, hands up if you’re a doggo pawrent. Good! Now, hands up if you’re the sort of doggo pawrent who can’t resist visiting doggo-related stores […]
Read more "An Auto/inu-Otaku in Munich 2022: Strauchdieb"Well, this was an unexpected one. With a long weekend over the country, my initial plans to sleep in seemed well and indeed thwarted after a couple of friends egged me on to call for a meet on our little public holiday. Figuring that putting the word out at such late notice might result in […]
Read more "Summertime madness. Cars & Kopi Summer 2022."Chances are if you’re an automotive geek, you’re probably into toy and model cars as well right? No? Keep reading anyway. For those who do enjoy collecting or looking at these little miniature delights, I’d highly recommend dropping by Obletter Spielwaren if you’re in Karlsplatz/Marienplatz, the main shopping district.

If your answer’s not the Benz EQXX, you’re wrong. First unveiled earlier this year, the engineers at Mercedes-Benz reckoned their (already record-breaking) initial 1,007-kilometre test drive could have gone considerably further so just a week ago, […]
Read more "An Auto-Otaku in Munich 2022: Studio Odeonsplatz by Mercedes-Benz and the Vision EQXX"If you ever do find yourself with some spare time in Munich after visiting the BMW Welt, I’d highly recommend hopping onto a train towards Motorworld, it’s not that far away and for the auto-otakus in us, there’s always something to interesting to see. Even though I was here not too long ago, I thought […]
Read more "An Auto-Otaku in Munich 2022: Visiting Motorworld München (again)"I’ll have to admit, there’s going to be bias. Not just because I love everything MIni but also because I have some amazingly fond memories of driving a John Cooper Works Clubman from Frankfurt, Germany, through the Netherlands towards The Hague before we loaded up onto a Ferry to conclude our journey into the UK […]
