This was a bit strange to me: a Japanese Bridgestone commercial featuring a British car. This little Austin A40 has great difficulties to keep up with a huge steam locomotive back in 1975.
We will probably never know why…

Two weeks ago I posted up a relatively cheap Carina AA63 drift missile only to discover another on Auctions Yahoo two weeks later!
Another Carina AA63 drift missile
Its current price is 50000 yen (615 US dollars) but reserve hasn’t been met yet. At least this Carina is still in one piece so it could get a little bit more pricier than this.
The engine is quite impressive: a 4AGE 16 valve with independent throttle bodies!

To make it all work smooth a set of Toda cams, aftermarket piggyback ECU and a lightened flywheel have been installed.
Other modifications are a set of SSR Longchamp XR4s, camber plates and front tower bar and on the inside a set of Recaros to make you feel a bit more comfortable in those loooong corners:

This missile seems to be in a bit better shape than the other one, but this one has had less extensive modifications.
In case you want to bid on it, you still have five days left and can find the action here: Carina AA63 at Auctions Yahoo.
If you like something different: the seller also has a few shakotan and bosozoku style rides for sale!
This brought a big grin on my face when I watched this video: Minihux from Dirft Colors (previously WeAreDrift) drifts his mom and dad around Ebisu circuit in a borrowed Cresta JZX90. Apparently his mom and dad weren’t that impressed…
Perhaps he went a bit soft on them…
Before you think the car switches from RHD to LHD all the time: minihux claims the camera was upside down in the car, so therefore he flipped the video, making it LHD. Makes sense since the paper stuck on the rear window is readable now and normally is only readable from the outside.
I did post up a Nissan 300ZX before, but that was the Z32. Last week I happened to take a shortcut through town and found this almost-like-new 1985 Z31 parked in a narrow street:

The car has been imported a year ago into the Netherlands and presumably it was hauled all the way from Switzerland. At least that’s where most Dutch classics are imported from nowadays…
Personally I’d say this 300ZX is almost the ideal car for me:

It has a powerful enough engine, 80s lines and a T-Bar roof. Only problem I have with it is that it is currently seriously overpriced…
