The Berlin Wall was built to keep Western fascists from entering East Germany, but it served to keep East Germany’s people in. The Berlin Wall stood from 1961 until 1989 when the East German Communist Party finally allowed its citizens to cross the border freely. Needless to say there were attempts to cross over, some slid their way through checkpoints and some even dug beneath the wall to go under it. Some however, hid in vehicles and one of them was the BMW Isetta. In this BMW short film title

Every so often, you find people in the motoring fraternity raving about a certain car that has sublime handling, and is a joy to drive. What does it even mean? Beyond good looks, there’s a lot going on under the skin that can determine how well a car drives. Let’s dive into what makes a car handle great, in a road driving context. Balanced chassis A car’s chassis is the starting point of vehicle dynamics. A great-handling car usually has a very rigid chassis. Why? A stiff chassis reduces flex, i

The saying “they don’t build it like they used to” cannot be more accurate in this situation that happened in Sydney, Australia. An elderly driver lost control of his classic Rolls Royce Silver Spirit and ploughed into his neighbour’s brick wall, crumbling the wall in the process while the RR was recovered for repairs. Footage shows that the driver had originally wanted to stop and allow another car to pass, but appeared to have hit the accelerator instead of the brake. The car could be seen rol

How do you check your tyre wear? Universally, we are taught to hold a coin within the grove of the tyre to check the depth of the treads. It took quite a bit of digging before I found the Malaysian coin version of the test. If all the alphabets of the words Bank Negara Malaysia on your 10 cent coin is on show when you hold the coin to the tread, it means it’s time to change your tyres. But did you not know that there is an even better fool proof test you can carry out without the use of coins? A

A simple way to give your car a fresh look is to fit it with a set of new wheels. It is the easiest form of “modification” and window shopping the right fit for your car can be fun. While the design/pattern of the wheel is subject to individual taste, one common “upgrade” is to go for wheels with a bigger diameter. Bigger wheels are aesthetically pleasing and give the car a more athletic look. Even manufacturers seem to agree to this and fit bigger wheels on range-topping variants. If the car wa
