Honda FIT Gearheads & Enthusiasts Gathering

In recent months there have been a lot of Car Clubs formed, organized and conceptualized based on Honda's recent evolution of the Honda FIT. A lot of controversy amongst its enthusiasts cultivate more interest on this exceptional Sub Compact and it adds to its already charismatic allure to every type of Motorhead. One of these factions is the enduring GE GaragE.


They had their Monthly GE-G (GE Gathering) yesterday at BIG BERT's Sucat Branch. Very timely, after the stormy week we had, its time to clean up our beloved Honda FITs.










Some individual Shots...


















People Shots...














Randomness is Bliss...










These gatherings always foster genuine cammaraderie within its membership and GE GaragE has been promoting this since its humble beginings. Hopefully soon, all Honda FIT clubs will gather in one place and spend the day without inhibition.


With GE GaragE, it's always a good time everytime....Seee you on the next GE-G!!!


*Special thanks to Mark Luna and Big Bert's.

Internationally Known, Locally Respected...

The weather is bad, got a splitting headache... trying to have a positive vibe going so I decided to browse around the web. I have a usual list of sites that I frequent (almost all are Automotive sites...duh!), one of them is the Honda Tuning Magazine's Website. As I was browsing  through it I realized that there are quite a number locally based Filipinos who have already been featured on HTM. Its either a full feature, on the Grassroots Section or the OH! Snaps photography contest.


I decided to do a compilation of these cars. I'm sure, like myself, they were honored to be included on HTM...

Philippine Autocross Championship Series - Manila Leg Coverage

I grew up watching Slalom Races in front of the Folk Arts Theatre back in the day, it was awesome that time and I think this was the birth place of my fascination with all types of motorsports. Last Sunday, I went to this Autocross event to support Jasper Javier and his team "The Cult Classics". The weather was really bad because of the Typhoon, but it did not dampen the mood of the event. Everyone was out to gunnit!!! Just like the good ole days... Grassroots racing at its finest...
