A
manda Miller says that
her passion for cars and
all things vintage was
ingrained in her, and
something that, despite a
few obstacles along the way, had stayed
instilled in her over the years.
Hailing from Brisbane in Queensland,
Australia Amanda’s early exposure to the
pleasures of older cars came from early
bonding sessions she recalls spending
with her father.
“Since I was a little girl, I would always
be found hanging with dad in the garage
tinkering about, and on weekends going
to car shows and walking around (what
seemed like at the time) never ending
swap meets! I guess this is where the
love of cars and all things vintage comes
from”.
Amanda’s first car was that belovedby-so-many-Aussie
classic; a 1964 EH
Holden sedan, and the one she had after
that was an EH Ute.
“Now I find myself driving a 66 Ford
Mustang, and on the hunt for an early
model Chevy pickup. So, as you can see
I’m not certainly not biased or picky when
it comes to cars, I love them all!”
With a soft spot for cars, Amanda says she
got the: “Ah ha!” moment for her custom
coffee teardrop while attending a car
show.
“I was waiting in line for my morning
coffee (from one of those boring vans)”,
she whispers conspiratorially, “and
there was absolutely no vibe! It was
just another job for the barista as they
showed no interest in the amazing scene
and hotted up cars surrounding them. So
I just thought how much better coffee
would be served from a seriously kool rig
and from a Barista who fits the scene and
loves cars? I figured: ‘I’m already at these
car shows and swap meets by the crack
of dawn, so why not get involved and
