Remembering Japanese cars from the past
I don’t know exactly what it is, but this Toyota Carina AA63 Coupe is one of my favorite Carinas so far:
Even though this Carina coupe features the single headlights and the original seats have been replaced by a Bride set I still think it looks awesome!
Perhaps it is the dished rims (anyone know what type/manufacturer they are?) or maybe the side skirts? Or maybe both of them combined remind me of the AE86? (and the Carina being the better looker here! ;) )
Found at Minkara
Earlier this week I received an email from fellow Carina A60 owner Andrew who sent me these two pictures:

I did post some videos of kinloud before, but I just stumbled upon a video of his Carina in 2006:

However in cornering it is clear that the Carina has the better setup and I must say his own driving skills don’t lack much either! :)

It was the exact same location as the Carina Sighting of the almost mint TA63 GT-TR:

I never took notice of the name of the dealer who sold that particular Carina, but it remained in the back of my head somehow… :D
Damn, I think I have another car dealer to follow now! ;)
