"yep, that'll do."


Cool thing that happened this past month: when fellow Hong Kong transplant David DM'd me to ask if I'd like to go for a cruise. His Instagram content is literally full of old retro cars that only hardcore car nerds would care about. So of course I was down.

Two weeks later, I took my E24 to meet up with him and his 1994 Volvo 940 sedan (@verne_the_volvo), in Volvo Tropical Green (or as I like to call it, "90s green"), with only 181k km on the clock on the legendary red block. The brick-like exterior also matches up with the no-nonsense interior, but packed with just enough features and massive switches that you won't mistaken it for a mid-90s Honda Accord. Not exactly the fastest car by any standard, but this is the sort of entry-luxo car any middle-aged Asian uncle would look at and go, "yep, that'll do."

3 Wheelin'


Star of the Show: @itsmikelin's 2013 Morgan 3 Wheeler.

There aren't a lot of cars that are designed exclusively to brighten up everyone's day, but this Morgan 3 Wheeler is it. As soon as turned up @lakewashingtoncarsandcoffee -- it just brought a smile to the face of everyone around it.
