Borneo Bug | Downshift

On 20/05/2015 11:29 on International Coverage. On my recent trip to Borneo in Malaysia, the boys and I pulled in overnight to a little town up in the jungle-covered mountains called Ranau. As we were riding towards the town centre, I spotted a rad-looking Bug from the side of the road. Pulling up in front of a car audio/accessory shop, I enquired about who the VW belonged to. Out stepped 18-year-old Dominic, proud as punch! Working hard, he’s personalised a few things both in the interior.

Word Series by Renault: The Anteroom of Motor Racing | Downshift
http://www.downshiftaus.com/2015/word-series-by-renault-the-anteroom-of-motor-racing
Word Series by Renault: The Anteroom of Motor Racing. On 06/07/2015 11:15 on Circuit. The legendary WSR had returned to Hungary for the 9th time this year. The Hungarian race was always among the highlight events of Renault’s motor racing series and it is a marked date in every Hungarian gearhead’s calendar as well. It appeared to be not working, so I asked for help from a gentleman standing next to me wearing a white shirt with a Renault logo on it. As it turned out, he was the communications direct...

All Japanese & Classic Day | Downshift
http://www.downshiftaus.com/2015/all-japanese-classic-day
All Japanese and Classic Day. On 10/06/2015 18:53 on Meets. I was able to pop my head into the All Japanese and Classic Day on Sunday for a bit at Earnshaw State College and check out some awesome and some rare old school Japanese cars! It was great seeing a bunch of cars that I had never seen before and chatting to some of their owners. It’s good to see that a lot of these cars being 25 years old are still in this good of condition and not rusted out sitting in a paddock somewhere in Japan.
