It was a long time ago I posted a count the cars picture, so how about counting some Soarers?
How many Soarers did you count?
I stopped counting after 25. How many did you count? :P

This week not a drifting Carina, not a JDM model, nor an A60 series Carina but rather an older model: a TA40 Carina. Why? Well, just because I kind of liked it:
Toyota Carina TA40 DL
This bumperless chicken fenced Carina looked kind of awesome to me. It reminded me of the old school tuning from some ten years ago where everybody was just doing DIY tuning.
The rims are a very nice finishing touch. :)

Also the towhook is a nice touch. If you remove the bumper, just keep the towhook to avoid parking damage. ;)

The interior looks great: just as it came from the factory back in 1979.

And this is the biggest surprise: the DL (or rather DLX) should actually have a 2T engine and not the double carbed 2TB like the ST used to have. I think the previous owner thought the same as I did: cheap 10hp power increase! ;)
You can find the car for sale here:

I saw this amazing video containing all Japanese Nissan Skyline commercials being announced a few weeks back on a Minkara blog:
Nissan Skyline Japanese commercials collection
This DVD covers almost all models: from the second generation (S50), third generation (C10 aka hakosuka), fourth (C110 aka Kenmeri) and up to the tenth generation (R34)!
I was able to find the DVD on Amazon Japan (?????? CM?????? [DVD])
This trashed 1993 black Suzuki Swift GTi has been standing near the office for quite some time and I wondered who would leave this car behind…

Apart from not having any MOT for the past six months it has been beaten up severely: mirrors are broken loose, front fender shows some big dents, scratches along the side of the car…

Rear wiper gone…

Mirror on this side broken loose as well and even more dents on the car…
Of course for most of the Dutch population this car will recall the 2009 Queensday attack where the attacker used a black Suzuki Swift and killed eight people before missing his target and crashing into some monument… I still remember seeing the footage of that attack and thought from now on any black Suzuki Swift will be a very impopular car to own/drive… Next Friday that will be one year ago exactly and I like to express my deepest respects to the victims of this madman.
The Mazda 323 on this picture drew my attention because of the second grille (where the bumper used to be), but upon closer look I thought the whole car was brilliant!

This Mazda 323 by Mullet Motorsport is competing in the Granite City rally 2010. I really wonder what hairstyle the driver has. :P

This video shows the amazing biking skills of two Taiwanese kids:
Not only has this little girl great parallel parking skills, she and her brother can also drift the corners of the corridors in their appartment.
Their Youtube movies already became a big (internet) hit in Taiwan and they already featured on national TV:
Simply amazing!
Now, how do I learn my son to do that? ;)
