While I intentionally got myself lost riding my bike, I found some cars and took photographs of them.

Kinja'd!!!

911 Turbo. Doesn’t sound much, but it looks great, and 911s of that sort are few and far between in these ends of Manila.

Kinja'd!!!

I kinda dig this, as tacky as it is.

Kinja'd!!!

R35. This one rumbled better than the Porsche. Note its roofline in relation to the adjacent SUV’s doorline.

Kinja'd!!!

IS-F. Not actually that bad.

Kinja'd!!!

Bet you didn’t see this coming?

Kinja'd!!!

This one’s for Oppo.

After a few blocks I saw this house with Mercedes cars.

Kinja'd!!!

C200.

Kinja'd!!!

Even I was shocked that this was a Brabus.

Kinja'd!!!

SL73, that. Still in good shape.

Kinja'd!!!

300SD. Here’s when I’m beginning to wonder who owns these Mercs.

Kinja'd!!!

Probably an E-class.

Kinja'd!!!

This and the silver one look like the same model.

Kinja'd!!!

260E says there.

Kinja'd!!!

After about 20 minutes of riding, something went through my bike’s rear tire.

Kinja'd!!!

It was a 2-inch nail that went straight through the tube. It took half an hour of walking to get to a decent tire changer and vulcanizing, and had it fixed for Php 20.00.

There will be a follow-up article that has video of me filming two cool corners I found as I rode.

Shocked indeed. My grandmother sported a ‘75 Cougar in silver.

The blue one and the red one are W124 models (E-class). The silver one is a W126 (S-class).
