70 Years

Many will tell you that the reason Porsche makes the best sports cars in the world is because you can use it every day. I disagree, but not because what they’re saying is wrong. I believe that they do because it connects with the driver in a way that is completely alien to anyone who hasn’t driven one.

Bourdain

Fight your demons and gut them. Get Lost, eat exotically, paint recklessly, hug your siblings, laugh with your nephews, and drive spiritedly. Live a little longer and write that story. There has to be one, for we, as humans are a collection of some of the most interesting non-fiction autobiographies that go unpublished.

Love Bug

Miguel and Kaye take their kids out of town in a car they all seem to love so much. What else could it be, but a Volkswagen Beetle.

The Best?

I have had the privilege of driving so many different cars over the past year, so much so that I am frequently asked which one is best. I can't really answer which is best, because they're all different - but I can tell you which one is the most complete. 

The Best?

OM: Volumen I

On the 15th of April 2017, Opus Macchina quietly turned a year old. We've decided to share some bits of our journey over the past year. It has been an absolute joy for all of us and we are humbled by the support of our followers and our peers. This outfit always remain to be nothing more than #alovelettertocars.

Three of a Kind

We picked our favorite cars under 2 million pesos and we decided to head out to our favorite destination in the North. It was certainly one of the best drives we've had together and a fitting way to close the year.

Northern Weekend

2016 BMW M235i / 2016 Honda Civic RS Turbo

We set off to the North to attend the Vios Cup at the Clark International Speedway and headed even further to Subic, where we took my nieces to the El Kabayo Stables and eventually capped the night off in Lighthouse Marina. It was one of those days I wish lasted a little bit longer.

One Sunday

2015 Subaru WRX STI

One Sunday, I had to hop out of bed after realizing that I had the keys to an STI. It's the kind of the car that begs to be driven and the temptation was too strong to ignore. I decided to take my grandmother out for lunch and then went off for a drive with one of my best buddies.
