///M Owners Club Indonesia Skills Day

The smell of burning rubber with the mixed sound of screaming engines and screeching tires is music to every petrolhead's ears. We love seeing great looking, exotic, rare cars going sideways and revving their engine up to the redline. It's simply beautiful, and the ///M Owners Club Indonesia (MOCI) Skills Day held on February 16th is one of the rare events where you could see all that.

It was more of a gathering rather than a contest, but the event had drag races, slaloms, and freestyle. Alongside MOCI, the Supercar Club Indonesia (SCCi) was also taking part in this gathering, making the whole thing more epic.

The super-engineered Germans, designed to be precise to the millimeter.

BMW's latest ///M masterpiece. Straight-6cylinder at the front, rear-wheel drive, making it the perfect sports car. A bit like the old E46 M3 we think (which also used straight-6), however this is more modern.

As we've said before, the SCCi was also taking part in this event, so it was no surprise when we saw the exotic Italians making the whole event more exciting.

 The Germans may be more precise, but the Italians simply look better.

 Italy's mad orange-colored bull meets the more sensible German supercars. Although the new Aventador has signs that Audi was involved in making the car, the new Aventador is still as Italian as the first Miura.

 

Fancy a high-performance machine such as Lambos and Ferraris but don't want to deal with the impracticality? Worry not, the all-rounder, practical, twin-turbo V8 BMW M5 will solve all your problems.

The Prancing Horses are ready to show what they've got. These Horses were made for performance, it runs in their blood.

The famous McLaren MP4-12C also showed up. The British rival of the Ferrari 458 has the racing pedigree and it's keen to show what it's got.

"Ready...Set...Go!"

The McLaren doesn't use the usual roll-bars you'd find in other supercars, instead it has fluid-suspension (we don't really understand either) and it's all computerized. All four wheels are independent from one to another, making this car great at cornering, so it should do well in a slalom competition.

This guy is serious about downforce, as you can see from the gigantic spoiler, he obviously needs more downforce on his M3.

The glorious BMW M3 CSL. It was a limited edition of the standard M3, only 1.400 of these were built. It's lighter and more powerful than the standard M3.

Despite weighing nearly 2-tons, the BMW M5 could still pull a spectacular slide. The laws of physics doesn't apply to the BMW M5.

AMG Mercs are full of torque. The V8 in AMG Mercs are just bonkers, a little push on the gas pedal and suddenly the rear wheels are spinning. We like that.

That's about it from the ///M Owners Club Indonesia Skills Day at PRJ Kemayoran. Lots of epic cars, loud engines, and screeching tires. Truly a fantastic way to spend your day. We're hoping that events like this will be held more often in the future.

Euros Don't Die, They Grow. A Lot.

These days, passion for cars are getting higher and higher over the time. The amount of modifications are just endless for cars old and new. Such as these guys.

 

Last january i went to the Euro Car Meet which was at the same time with the RajaMobil Import Car Exhibition. It was fun though... 

 

I went there with my two friends, Agung and Arianda. I and Agung met Arianda there at the Rasuna Kuningan Epiwalk. He happened to show with his Peugeot 505 GTi That he had worked on for years with his dad.

 

He was a keen photographer himself. With just a Fujifilm digital camera that he own, he roam about the Epiwalk, and takes photo all the time.

On with the show then..

First that I came about is this Peugeot 206, which was suited for it's own nature. WRC or even Rally Style. Just look at those two big Halogen lights that they used for lighting at the WRC before the HID lights were popular then.

Then, there's this orange VW Beetle. Mind you, the Herbie styled one, is left hand drive. Very rare indeed. It's like finding an extinct insect.. If you know what I mean..

Then I came across the Volvo Independent Car Club (VICC for short). This very flushed S80 Volvo, is my friend brother's, Mr. Deddy, whose brother, Dendy, drives the yellow Suzuki Swift we had earlier.

Also which is very eye catching are these W123 Mercs. Which, as you see the right one is based on an AMG style bodykit, and the left one is Brabus style which has a Belgium headlight frame. Carporn is the word for these two

Everybody seems interested. Even this kid, he wears the Scuderia Ferrari, Vodafone shirt. Kid's got swag.

As the day passes, more and more cars showed up. Adding the "EU" to euphoria of this event

You should... Yes. But you have to disobey this if you see this lot..

Yes.. Two epic supercars, the Aventador and the 458 Italia.

Seems your number plate is not out yet, bro..

And this 325i, which used to belong to a lady named Anggi Asmara, showed up also at this meet. Eventhough this car has been seen roaming a lot of times in Bintaro, I am never bored at two-doors BMW's

Hours pass by, the meet seems to attract more and more people.

Rarities come and goes. Like this very beautiful 350SL Mercedes. It's like meeting Marilyn Monroe back in those days.

Also this catches my eyes, a 430 Suderia on ADV1.'s

But this Porsche attracts me most. The 911S.

When this pulls out, the voice of the Flat-6 engine just blew my heart to pieces. Loud and raw.

Also this unique Volvo that has been marked by Chuck Norris. LOL. Clean interior though. Very well played by this dude.
