Not only the Carina TA17 is entirely in kyusha style, its owner as well:

Don’t be fooled by the 8 in the date: that most probably stands for the 8th year of the Heisei period.

I had a great laugh when I watched this A-Team opening in Japanese!
That sounded so great that I started looking for more footage on youtube…
Most of it is blocked, but I was able to catch this nice few minutes of good old Japanese dubbing:
TASUKETE!
Imagine what the Japanese might think of our good old Manga Video dubbing from the early nineties. Or worse: the Tokyopop Initial D dubs! ;)

I found this picture on Karl Alexander’s facebook wall and it put a smile on my face. The Tortoise and the hare, the Starlet and the Trueno:

I’ve seen a lot of (ab)uses for the Carina so far, but I’ve never saw one attending in a real Gymkhana before. That was till I spotted this Gymkhana Carina TA63 on Minkara:

As you can see: the owner has humor. :D
You can see some more action in one of his videos:
He’s quite good at it! And the video even featured a few “bloopers” in the end! :)
Also a notable thing are his smoked tail lights (zenki). Really suits the car and maybe I’ll try to create my own when I can get my hands on a second set…

I really like the way this guy slides his AE86 across all bends on the circuit:
I guess it reminds me of the way I play Gran Turismo 2 (and Gran Turismo on the PSP) and just try to pass my oponents while drifting with both front wheels over the apex!
I think the picture says it all: THANKS!
