This photos was taken from the bus somewhere outside Jayapura when we passed Mandala Motor. I already spotted them a few times and they had a vast number of wheelporn in their workshop.

The convertible appears to be a VW bug that was modified with a Celica Z10 nose by Lipu...

Unlike what the title says they aren't exactly for sale at Ebay, but rather on its free of charge Dutch co-site called Marktplaats.

Over two years ago I found the worlds ugliest hubcaps on Marktplaats. I found another Corolla KE30 hubcap set for sale at Marktplaats:

Last time I did get a lot of emails from people who wanted them, but I was unable to get them because that set got sold. So if you really want them, be quick and I might be able to arrange them for you. :)

Then I also bumped into these rims, advertised as suitable for an AE86 . and had a big laugh about the picture:

I spotted this picture with a nice looking Bluebird SSS 510 on PhilsCarBlog , but it wasn't the 510 that drew my attention:

Bluebird 510 with Liteace
It was the Liteace!
Why? Because it is sitting on a set of Celica A40 alloys somewhere in 1989!
Why? Because you can!

Today I own my TA60 Carina for exactly three years! I bought it on the seventh of the seventh of the seventh (07-07-2007), so in other words: lucky seven! This is what the car looked like when I bought it:

When I bought the Carina TA60
You can even see my old AE86 parked in front of it!

I bought the car after my girlfriend (in the meanwhile she became my wife) became pregnant of our son. When test fitting the child seats in the AE86 it was clear that the only way to fit the child seat was to put it in the front seat. Since everyone trying to sit in the back of the AE86 was complaining about every speedbump I took, cramps and more of that I realized it would be impossible to keep the AE86. So I tried to find a four door Cressida, Corona or Carina and found this Carina in a good deal. Basically the TA60 Carina can be considered a four door AE86 with a puny engine: it has (almost) the same axle, the same gearbox, the same steering rack, same front struts and the only difference is the absence of a 4AGE and a LSD!
Read on for the whole story and more pictures!

This is about the coolest wheel pic I've seen this month:

Glow in the dark rims!
The only problem is that you need to shine some light on it first... So, where can I get some of that paint to accentuate my 15 inch Celica XX rims?
