I have been hearing about the Manila International Auto Show since 2005 but every time it was in the past tense. Well, I’m not what you call an auto enthusiast in the strict sense of the word. For one thing, I cannot identify cars in terms of make and engine. All the car knowledge that I have I got from playing Grand Turismo and Need for Speed on PSP! However, I would like to think of myself as an appreciator of beauty! At least I know that, being a graduate of Art Studies, I was able to imbibe the teachings of the course I took! Anyway, as soon I read about the on going MIAS in an article in the Philippine Star last April 2, I immediately made a conscious decision to go! And so, last April 4, my wife and I took off to have our first Manila International Auto Show experience!
The traffic from Novaliches to the World Trade Center in Pasay City was awful but it was all worth the experience!

It was cars galore! Speed demons, new edition sedans, SUVs…
…and restored classic beauties!
Even a vintage World War II jeep!
Hey, where’s Mr. Bean?!
Look at this stretched up Beatle!
There were also motorcycles and scooters!
Pimped out bicycles, anyone?
Of course, the coup de grace of car shows---a whole lotta beautiful women!
Of course, the one in green was the fairest of them all! (and that’s my key to repeating this gig again next year!!!)
