Iconic cars, motorcycles, artisanal coffee take center stage at Wheels & Brews 2024

A nostalgic celebration of vintage cars, motorcycles, and the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee came to life at the Wheels & Brews event held on September 28-29 at Filinvest Mimosa Plus, Clark. Co-presented by Gulf Oil Philippines and Golf Ridge Private Estate, and supported by EastWest Bank, the two-day event transformed Acacia Drive into a vibrant open-air showcase of automotive history and craftsmanship.

The scenic surroundings of Mimosa Plus served as the perfect backdrop, providing an idyllic setting for visitors to admire iconic vehicles from different eras. Groups such as the Pampanga Classic Car Club, Angeles Hot Rod Association, and Burnout PH Crew brought their prized collections, adding depth and authenticity to the celebration. From retro models like the Mini Cooper Classic and the 1967 Mustang Convertible to the 1953 MGTD and the 1955 MG MGA, the display transported guests to a bygone era of automobile elegance.

Motorcycle enthusiasts were equally delighted by an eclectic lineup featuring an Indian Scout Bobber 20, a Ducati Scrambler Cafe Racer, and a Husqvarna Svartpilen 401. These machines offered an exciting contrast between the timeless charm of classic motorbikes and the bold innovation of modern models.

“We are thrilled to see how Wheels & Brews has become a unique gathering point for diverse communities,” said Don Ubaldo, First Vice President for Filinvest Townships. “Vintage car and motorcycle enthusiasts mingled with automotive and biking clubs, while coffee lovers savored the rich flavors of artisanal brews. Visitors from nearby accommodations joined in, creating an opportunity for connection, reminiscence, and relaxation.”

The event’s coffee component added another layer of enjoyment, with coffee lovers indulging in artisanal brews that paired perfectly with the nostalgic atmosphere. As visitors took in the picturesque natural surroundings, they enjoyed a cool breeze and the lively energy of an event that celebrated both heritage and community.

Wheels & Brews successfully brought together a variety of passionate groups: classic car and motorcycle enthusiasts, dedicated automotive and biking clubs, coffee aficionados, and curious travelers looking for a refreshing adventure. Together, these groups created a laid-back yet dynamic environment where attendees could reminisce, share stories, and build new connections.
