It’s sheer coincidence that I’m covering two legendary icons from the 1950s back to back but It’s not coincidence that many icons like this awesome Porsche 550 Spyder Roadster were conceived in the roaring 50s and 60s. Inspired by the curves of the original and augmented by modern technologies- all new tweaked drivetrain, suspension plus 245 […]

Stylish canvas bags are great dual purpose accessories for men who want to keep personal belongings to a minimum- Great for weekends and passable (depending on how heavily waxed or treated the canvas has been) for weekdays at the office, this […]
