Remembering Japanese cars from the past
The late 80s and early 90s were a golden era for Eddy Murphy. No wonder he made a commercial for the Toyota Celica in 1989. It was such a popular commercial that a parody with a bosozoku praising the Suzuki Cultus was made:
I love the soundtrack (The Fly) by Dr.? Dre. ;)
In case you are wondering what the original commercial looked like, here it is:
I wonder if all Toyota Carina A60 owners look like this guy:
Long Carina Champ
I certainly do. ;)
A definite keep for the Family Album!
From the front this Carina coupe is almost the spitting image of last weeks tekamens rival but you can see after the windhield it is clearly a coupe and not a sedan:
Carina AA63 coupe by Impulse
This Carina was tuned by Impulse (also known for their excellent AE86s) and the bigport 4AGE engine was swapped for a later type 20 valve blacktop. Also the deep dish gold mesh rims suit the coupe well.
As you can see they rerouted the waterlines, heatwrapped spaghetti exhaust headers and direct spark ignition:

Nice job! :)

Between your local karate school, skateboard shop, and a crackhouse,, you see this little cherry popping out:
Nissan Skyline KPGC10
Can’t agree more with RA64Freddy! :D
Edit: Found at RA64Freddy, trough JNC and c72c
Even though the AE86 was the most wanted Corolla during the last two decades, the AE82 was even more wanted in the decade before that: girls just loooooved them:
Now how many girls can you stuff in your hachi-roku? I only managed to get to three. ;)
This Nissan Sunny N14 was parked right next to my house and immediately caught my attention. Made a small U-turn (I was on my bike) and took a few pictures. Can you guess what is wrong with this Nissan Sunny?

Take good notice of the position of the steering wheel (yes, LHD).
And then compare it with this close-up picture:

You probably already guessed it: there is a Recaro seat in that Sunny and it is on the passenger side!
WTF?! You are doing it wrong! The driver should sit in the Recaro and the passenger on the normal seat! :D
BTW: both pictures were shot with my Helios 44-2 lens on f2.8, hence the big amount of bokeh.
