Bali: immaculate Corolla KE70 passing by

Near where I spotted the Longchamped Familia I also saw a Corolla KE70 coming the opposite way. I turned around, followed it for a while hoping it would stop. But I gave up after a couple of kilometers and stopped for a drink. Luck turned and another immaculate Corolla KE70 came my way:

Since I has stopped I had all the time of the world to take a couple of snapshots of the KE70! :)

No idea what wheels it is on, but they surely match the oldskool rolla!

Bali: ubiquitous Toyota Kijang KF42


One of the first things I noticed in Bali were the ubiquitous Toyota Kijang minivans driving around. One small detail of the Kijang drew my attention immediately: the headlights!

Recognize them already?
Indeed: they are recycled from the Toyota Crown S120 series!

On another one I found this GTV Executive sticker:

No idea if it is genuine, but if so then this must have been the sporty version of the Kijang…

WTF: Reused deep dish mesh wheels


I have no idea what brand/model these mesh wheels are, but I had a big WTF moment when I spotted them on the beach in Bali:
Deep dished mesh rims reused
Deep dished mesh rims reused

They look like fake BBS knock offs and they are quite clearly FWD rims.

Here is picture that puts them into context:

Yes they are indeed used to haul the fishermen’s boats (actually the “fake” fishermen’s tourist boats) to shore!
Nevertheless it is still a very classy to haul your boat with a set of deep dish mesh wheels! :P
