Found this Carina GT-R AA63 on Youtube:
Looks like this New Zealand driver has a lot of fun! :)
This is the follow up:
As you can see: nicely streched tires on those SSR Longchamps! :)

I found these two videos on Youtube. In the first two Toyota Carina GT-R AA63 sedans are chasing a Nissan Silvia S15:
While in the second (third of the video set ;) they get chased by a different Nissan Silvia S15 and a Nissan 180sx:
I have no idea what NCML is, but I suspect that NCML is an abbreviation for one of the circuits in Japan and this event was held on 15th of september 2008. Anyone knows what NCML is??
JNC posted this as a Halloween greeting:
I think it is really hilarious: the RX-4 was already a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but now it is really a sheep in wolf’s clothing! ;)
Nice photoshopping btw! It took me a few seconds to find the flaws. :P
Some time ago I already blogged about a Carina GT-R in Peru. I probably now found the sales adverts for it:

http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.pe/MPE-4685639-vendo-toyota-carina-gtr-_JM
This is how the car looked:
It states that the Carina GT-R was located in Lima and that it only drove 9000 and 10000 kilometers. Looking at the engine, diff, interior and the state of the car I doubt that the last fact could be true. Should rather be 190000 and 200000 kilometers. ;)
As you can see the diff housing is leaking:
And the engine is quite used and dirty:
And the steering wheel looks shabby, so it is quite used
According to the translation of this advertisement it is supposed to be owned by the 80 year old grandpa of the seller. Yeah right… ;)
Anyway, they asked 3999 (I assume Peru Nuevos Soles) for it which is roughly 1000 euros. Not bad! I would have bought it for that price!!
If you thought the drifting in Initial D was radical: hold your breath for this!
Apparently under the influence of Initial D some Chinese fans started to perform drifts on their bicycles:
The rules are pretty straight forward you just need to perform an aw inspiring right hand drift, either with the aid of brakes or without.
The drift performed in the picture looks awesome and drifting with a racing bike sounds like much fun to me! :)
Lucky enough I live in Holland, use my (1920s) bike for daily transportation and it is autumn. Leafs are on the streets, perhaps I’ll try to perform some drifts on my way to work now and then. ;)

I already posted some pics about this event some time ago, but on the 1st of June 2008 the second national A60 & T140 meeting was held at Mount Fuji. I just found a webpage with a large gallery of this great event! :)
To give another impression of the meeting:
Great to see so many Toyota Carina/Celica A60s and Corona T140s. Somehow I get the impression that white was a very popular color in the early 80s. ;)
Of course my favorite Carina SA60 Firevan was present:
And this yellow TA63 Carina sedan is also one of my favorites:
