Only a short posting today, so only this single 1991 Mazda MX5 NA today:
Blue 1991 Mazda MX5 NA
For a long time I thought it was the same as another blue one in town, but only yesterday I found out they are actually different from each other. I’ll take a picture of the other one for next Miata Hunting!

This little girl had the coolest dad in the 70s: he owned a pigsbutt Laurel C130 hardtop!

Also the periodically correct yellow foglights are very nice!

This sticker on a GX71 Cresta is totally hilarious: Goldrush 1G 24 valve sound!

But it actually makes sense if you look at this insane 1G header:

Awesome! Can’t wait till I’ve heard its sound!

Safety first with the Toyota Corona T100 series. I think car safety has come a long way since this commercial was made!
Just look how that whole Corona crumples up with an impact speed of only 25 km/h!
I was going through the collection of Carina brochure pictures and one small detail stroke me on this brochure:
Belgian Carina GL
The Carina in the bottom picture is a Belgian Carina TA60 GL. Now that isn’t that weird, but the brochure is Japanese and dated as S56-9 (September 1981). The Carina A60 lineup was released in September 1981 so the Carina on the brochure must have been a pre-production model.
This was done by Toyota before, just like the Levin and Trueno AE86 European tour in 1983 but we’re talking about a left hand drive Carina here.
Also in this picture you can see the front of the car is actually featuring quad headlights:
Belgian Carina GL
Now it gets even more confusing and more and more questions arise!
Why did they feature a LHD pre-production car in Belgium in a JDM brochure? And why does it have quad headlights while all European models did only have the normal headlights? And where is that car now?
This time rusty J-tin from the old world: a Dutch Toyota Corolla KE20 crumbling away next to a B-road. The Corolla appears to be in a reasonable state, but since it has been parked there for years now I fear the worst. Unless someone pays a ridiculous amount of money the owners will leave it there till it has merged together with the soil…

I passed this rusty rolla many many times but never actually stopped to take a picture of it. The picture was taken by Dutch Toyota Club board-member Marco when he passed it. Since he already took the picture it saves me the trouble of taking my own. ;)
