I was in Los Angeles last week and dropped by to visit Vince and Yogi at the illest boutique. As usual, I was greeted warmly by the staff and got to see the newest collection of apparel and gear. Unfortunately, most of their tees were sold out but was promised a restock would happen soon. [...]

When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I could go on with the cliches but these sayings actually ring true after you’ve met Daniel Claudino. Daniel, a self-confessed auto-enthusiast with a background in road, rally, and auto-cross racing, has faced and overcome quite a few challenges during [...]
This is our last shop feature from Galen‘s amazing trip to Japan. Of course, what trip to Japan would be complete without a visit to what could possibly be the best aftermarket parts shop in the world – Super Autobacs. I remember reading about this shop in a mid-90s issue of Super Street or Sport [...]
The final shop visit took place in Nagoya, Japan. Backyard Special is still relatively obscure in North America where Spoon and Mugen are more popular. Nonetheless, we had to drop by to check out their digs. First thing we noticed, the shop was quite small but our guest photographer, Galen Wan, was able to snap [...]
The illmotion x Stretch & Poke! collaboration coverage continues with a shop visit to acclaimed Honda tuner, J’s Racing!

Love [...]

I don’t know what it is with this month or this year, but we’ve been incredibly blessed with the amount of coverage coming out of Japan! Up next is coverage courtesy of Takafumi Ebata. He contacted us to share some great photos from a local aggressive fitment meet called “Fitted Fes” held up in Nagashima, [...]
Coverage in Tokyo wouldn’t be complete without a visit to one of our favorite shops – Spoon and Type-One! It’s been 12 years since S&P staff have visited Spoon so this drop-in was easily overdue. It’s quite evident the shop space has evolved over the years. The ever-so-clean shop is chock full of Spoon/Type-One cars. [...]
Welcome back! This will be our last installment of our coverage of the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon. We enjoyed bringing you this exclusive collaboration coverage with illmotion and our guest photographer, Galen Wan. Our final feature zeros in on one of the areas people seem to overlook. An area of the show that locals ignore [...]
By now, you must have heard about all the amazing cars that debuted at the 2012 Detroit International Auto Show. We couldn’t pass the opportunity to see the cars so S&P staff took the 3 hour drive to the home of the big three. This will be yet another image-intensive post so we hope you [...]
