WORDS BY ELAINE LARA salesman swipes your card. Dyson, Century Mall
Minis and Land Rover Defenders
have always had a good following
here, but aftermarket goodies for
them aren’t that easy to find. Own-
ers are usually left to source parts
themselves, paying close to an arm
and a leg for shipping on a lone com-
ponent. With the popularity of both
British brands increasing in the past
few years, however, more parts and
accessories have started to become
more accessible in the country.
EBC, for instance, is a British
brakes manufacturer with origins in
motorsports. It makes brake pads and
rotors not only for British-made ve-
hicles, but also for a variety of other
marques. EBC’s lineup is distributed
locally by Fil-Ichiban Performance
Parts, and it’s so comprehensive that
the website also lists applications for
mountain bikes, motorcycles, go-
karts, and commercial vehicles.
Rhino-Rack is another brand that
offers high-quality accessories for
Minis and Land Rovers. Established
in 1992 in Australia, it caters to ath-
letes, outdoorsmen and traders who
need racks and carriers to transport
their bikes, kayaks, goods and other
such items. Prices start at P2,685 for
‘The Claw’ bed-mount bike carrier.
The complete Rhino-Rack lineup is
available at Outdoors Club Green-
hills (G/F BDO Building, Roosevelt
Street corner Ortigas Avenue, San
Juan City).

Bueller’s Ferrari, Batmobiles,

labs—if they’ve been on your TV
screen, they’ll be on this poster.
The artist has picked 72 star cars
from 1929 to the current day,
drawn each one by hand and gath-
ered them together in one simple
poster. Some are famous for their
performances, others for perform-
ers who drove them. These are
Hollywood’s finest props, and they
deserve a permanent place on your
