Since I was on holiday for the past four weeks I totally missed hachi-roku-day! 🙁
Lucky enough I already saw some great stuff in the past days like the 48km Corolla GT on Speedhunters. I also saw this video by JRotaro on Youtube of lots of hachis having fun at the Fuji drift course next to the Fuji Speedway:
Now this is something you definitely don’t want to miss! 😉

On our way to the magnificent view over Jayapura on the highest mountain in the neighborhood I spotted this Corolla Levin AE92:

Not the supercharged GT-Z model, but at least it has a 4AGE heart beating under that bonnet.
The huge 16 inch wheels with a thin tirewall look a bit out of place here: the road conditions around Jayapura are quite bad so I reckon they won’t survive long…
This posting had a high Sonny Chiba feeling: this restored Carina hardtop coupe TA17 is exactly the same model as Sonny Chiba used in the famous commercial!

The owner and his buddies came all the way from Finland to the Goodwood Festival of Speed and inbetween they stopped by at the JCS2011!
Just look at how beautiful those tail lights are sunken deeply into the bodywork!

Also imagine what potential watertrap that could be!

The Carina TA17 hardtop coupe has been imported from Japan and it, as the owner described it, is his dreamcar and he simply had to. He does own another 10 Toyotas from which 3 are Carina TA14s.
Last but not least: this is how great fender mirrors are:

A very high coolness factor but a limited angle of view…
Watch John McEnroe lure some ladies into his Toyota Corolla II (also known as the Tercel outside Japan)!
Amazing! He did not even need to use a swearword to get them in!
Almost forgot: today is the 8th of june! So happy hachi-roku day!
Happy HR day!
