A few weeks ago I saw several photographs of the N-Style Carina AA63 by AUTOnGRAPHIC and these two are my favorites:

Photos like these are great inspiration for me and I can’t wait till the next autoshow to try out some new ideas I get from them.

Especially this one intrigues me: picture on the next page

Carina Sightings: Yellow Carina GT AA63 that is NOT for sale!

March 4, 2013 in carina sightings

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this beautiful yellow Carina GT AA63 for sale on Auctions Yahoo:
Yellow Carina GT AA63 not for sale!
It looked so perfect, immaculate and I just wished I had the money to buy it and ship it to the other side of this planet. But this picture gets even better if you squint your eyes! :P

So when I translated the auction it stated this at the bottom:
Please stop the questions in English. We will not ship internationally, thank you.
Normally that is not a real problem if you use a man-in-the-middle like Hayatonka, so actually you can still consider it for sale!

Anyway, the strange thing about this car is that it is actually a late GT: more pictures on the next page!

Carina Sightings: the yellow zokusha!

People knowing me well enough also know I love kaido racers/zokushas and all sorts of other bizarre creation from Japan. So I actually was quite happy to see this in one of the kaido racer videos:
Yellow Carina AA63 zokusha
Yes, that is indeed a yellow Carina AA63 with (fake?) oil cooiler up front and lowered on a set of SSR Mk II rims (or are those Techno Shadows? Can’t see it too clearly!). :)

It even gives a good welcome when arriving at the spot by doing a bit of revving: Read the rest of this entry →

Carina Sightings: Carina Jeune remains young!

September 26, 2012 in carina sightings

For a very obvious reason the Carina Jeune attracted my attention when I first read the 1984 Carina brochure.

Displayed on this picture it may look a bit dull to you and you are right: it is a dull car!

The car itself is in immaculate condition:

But even from this angle it doesn’t get any better. It remains an immaculately dull looking car…

So why am I so overly excited over a dull car? My excitement is about this device called a back sonar: Read the rest of this entry →
