VMAN SEA and ZYN Take the Wheel at The Pit Stop

A hub for car culture and style

Oliver’s Coffee Bistro became the center of car culture and contemporary style as VMAN Southeast Asia hosted its first ever Vanguards Club: The Pit Stop in collaboration with ZYN. The event brought together collectors, creatives, and style leaders for an afternoon of conversation and high-energy experiences.

The ZYN Lounge experience

The ZYN Lounge set the tone for the day and offered a smoke-free environment that kept guests engaged from start to finish. Attendees explored racing simulators, music sets, and interactive moments, while VMAN SEA highlighted ZYN’s role in keeping the experience sharp and elevated. Representatives from both brands opened the event with remarks to reflect their shared commitment to individuality and progress for the modern man.

The highlight of the Pit Stop was the unveiling of the WHAT VMEN WANT box, a nod to creativity and the culture that connects these communities. Guests moved through the lounge areas with ZYN cans in hand, interacting with the racing setups, enjoying music, and engaging with others who share a passion for style and cars.

Culture, community, and connection
