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,


Shaguars, mobile meth


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


wall. http://www.calmtheham.com
