Hilarious: Super Duper Toyota Crowns!

October 1, 2013 / banpei / 0 Comments

While browsing the interwebs I do encounter a lot of different websites and some of them are more interesting than others. Some others are less interesting but do feature hidden gems in not that interesting things. Take for instance this Toyota Crown S120 brochure which features this model/type overview in one of the last pages:

What strikes me is that about every model of the Toyota Crown is super: Sedan Super Deluxe, Sedan Super Saloon, Sedan Super Saloon Extra, Station Wagon Super Saloon, Hardtop Super Edition, Hardtop Super Saloon and the cherry on top is the Hardtop Super Saloon Extra! How much more super can it get? ;)

Some time ago Daniel O’Grady from Wasabi Cars posted a video about a neglected private car-collection where he mentioned that every car in Japan features a super deluxe somewhere: Continue reading

Carina Sightings: AA63 with a flipfront hood!

September 30, 2013 / banpei / 1 Comment

This Toyota Carina AA63 GT-R was actually a corner case: either post it in Carina Sightings or in WTF?!

At first glance the car lowered significantly, features a set of Work Excel rims, rollcage and bucketseats have been installed and the grille is missing. But what is so special about this Carina?

Just have a look at the way the hood opens: Continue reading

Down on the Street: Illest Hungarian Honda Civic EF

September 29, 2013 / banpei / 0 Comments

It is time again to share some more great finds from Hungary!

This Honda Civic EF was parked opposite of my parent in law’s house so maybe it is owned by the same person who parked a Prelude on the same spot four years ago.

This Civic was done in a very nice way. Not too much hellaflush and no stickerbombs: Continue reading

Finally got my new Honda Civic!

BAM! There it is: my sapphire blue Honda Civic Sport!

I finally picked it up yesterday and I’m very happy how the car handles. :)

Another picture from the rear:

The only thing I haven’t figured out entirely is the actual chassis code. The papers state it is a SHHFK, so could it be a FK? But I thought the FK was actually the eight generation… Anyone got an idea which one it is?

Edit: I made a very nice photo tonight that I needed to share…

Yes, it is standing guard in front of my house. ;)

Japanese Rustoseums: the Sinking Soarer

September 24, 2013 / banpei / 5 Comments

Part fourtythree of the Japanese Rustoseums already? It really is going fast this way…

This Toyota Soarer GZ10 is slowly sinking away into the grass of the farmland. Or is it the other way around: the grass is slowly soaring above the Soarer?

And a small tree is growing besides the back of the car: Continue reading

Down on the Street Hungarian Honda Civic EH

Down on the Street: Another Hungarian Civic

September 22, 2013 / banpei / 0 Comments

And this time not a nostalgic like the previous one but rather more a bit more almost-classic early nineties Civic I found in Szombathely:

At the front it was not very nineties but rather more naughties with the aftermarket projector style headlights and TFTF style bumper.

From the rear it was actually a bit different… Continue reading
