Remembering Japanese cars from the past
The ask sign in this picture caught my eye and made me wonder what the price of this marvelous original zenki Nissan Skyline GT-R PGC10 would be…
Just ask the price of this PGC10…
But I think I would not dare to ask: it would probably be way beyond my budget. Then again: if you don’t ask you will never know. 😉

I thought this video was pretty funny: someone swapped a GX71 digital cluster into a Cresta GX61.
Looking at the way he plays pong with the revmeter the 1G-GTE engine was also swapped. 😉
Last week I spent a couple of days in Berlin. Of course I hoped to spot some nice JDM tin but the most interesting Japanese car I found was a rusty Corolla Liftback AE90. Either the Germans love their own cars so much that they don’t buy anything but Porsche, Mercedes or BMW, or it could have been that the center of Berlin (Charlottenburg and Mitte) are only occupied by the rich and famous.
Personally, given this example found in the street of my hotel, I think it was the latter:
Sheepish 911 (997 model)
Apparently owning a Porsche 911 (996997 model) is not enough anymore, but also a vanity plate with 911 in it is needed! The plate bleats 911 all over it. Would that have been on purpose? This 996997 isn’t particular a wolf in sheep’s clothing. 😉
I was very impressed last night when I saw the London 2011 fireworks on TV!
Let’s hope it is a good year! 🙂
Okay, I have to admit: I cheated here… I did not spot this Carina at all. Instead David emailed some days ago me he has an extensive Toyota collection including a good looking Carina TA60:
Polish Carina TA60
So I cheated a bit to keep the DOTS in the Carina Week theme. 🙁
Polish Carina TA60
David’s Carina is a 1983 2T powered Carina with a manual gearbox.
And the good news: David’s Carina is for sale for only 700 euros! A bargain!
Drop me an email if you want to get in touch with him!
Now this is a tough choice: shall I take this Carina wagon or Yamaha SRX for a spin?
Take the Yamaha SRX or Carina Wagon for a spin
Even though most sane people would say the Yamaha I would personally prefer the Carina wagon above it. 😉
Sidenotes: according to the source the round headlights were swapped for the quad square types. The rims are PG type Racingforg rims.

BTW: Merry Christmas! 🙂
