Even though it is an obvious fake I really had to laugh about this video:

Nevertheless imagine actually jumping in such a machine! :D

Dunno what's the story of this gigantic silencer, but it surely must have looked very impressive in the late 80s:

Carina Sightings: RA45 Carina GT sedan

No votes yet

Every generation of Carinas had its GT model, including the A40 generation. The A40 generation had four flavors of GT models: the 4 door sedan and 3 door hardtop, powered by the 1588cc 2T-G and the 1968cc 18R-G engines.

This 1980 four door Carina is the kouki GT 2000 sedan, meaning it is a RA45:

And the taillights also look very different from the normal A40:

No votes yet

I found this very good amateur video of the 1984 Fuji Gran Championship where a bunch of Sunny B110s, Sunny B310s, Starlet KP61s and first generations Honda Civics battled the TSA class 250km race. The competition is fierce and you can enjoy an 8 minutes spectacle of bumps, spins and drifts:

BTW: at 3:37 an unidentified car is going through the corner on 3 wheels. Anyone got an idea what car it is?

Some time ago I was cycling around my hometown and passing some buildings with a huge fence around it and I took this picture:
What is that behind all that bokeh?

Now what is hiding behind all that bokeh?

It is a fungilicious Sunny B11:
