Remembering Japanese cars from the past

My Carina: Marchal yellow foglights

Some people may have read it on Twitter: I bought myself a box full of yellow foglights.

When driving there (and trying to find my way through Zoetermeer) I was navigating on the map. At a certain point I noticed a white Prius in my rear view mirror, when looking at the map and back to the rear view mirror it changed into a very well known front of a car: a R33 GTR! Damn, that was a shock! GTR passed me and gave the driver a thumbs up. ;)

If you look at the box it will contain four times a yellow Marchal foglight and two times a yellow Cibie foglight. Two of the Marchals are broken (lights/wiring/casing), but the other four are perfectly fine! :)

Well, this is the one I was actually after:

And they are surely worth the drive! :)

So, for the people with difficulty of remembering my Carina: this is what the Carina looked like.

And now it looks like this:

Better?

Without the black/white Marchal covers these foglights look a bit less sporty…

    Thanks! :)
    To be honest: the reason why I wanted Marchals was because the bosozoku dig them. ;)
