CARS & BBQ #001
Stories about cars, motorcycles and anything that runs on petrol. Roads worth driving and the people who keep driving culture alive. And meets: Cars & Coffee, Cars & BBQ and whatever comes next. Because it's not only what you drive, it's everything you live behind the wheel.
CARS & BBQ #001: CARS, FIRE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THERMI
The second groundspeed meet. A Sunday at Dacristo, from a BMW 2002 to an Aventador, with the fire pit lit.
48,000 KM IN 18 MONTHS IN A PORSCHE GT4 RS. AS A DAILY.
