Been sat here for quite a few days now, healing and drinking char. The guy who lives on the road behind me, who has a Silver Evo VI, appears to have just taken delivery of a Mk1 Corolla (AE86 is it they're called?). Its two tone i think, purple top, bumpers and door bottoms are white. It has a shiny twin pipe exhaust, and thats all i can see at the mo :) Its quite nice actually, has anyone ever owned one of these? They're quite well thought of by you retro types aren't they?

A guy who is always seeded around us on events has one (more or less standard) and its fairly swift (on par with say a 309 GTi), but it has the benfit of a great engine and RWD, and being jap its probably easy to squeeze a few more ponies from it! Doesnt say much but I could rarely keep up with him in my 205 XS > Been sat here for quite a few days now, healing and drinking char.

The joys of suburbia! I'll go out for a drive in the Volvo in a mo with the exhuast manifold hanging off, that should wake all the oldies up!! > Been sat here for quite a few days now, healing and drinking char.

I had one a few years ago, good fun to drive but a bit underpowered as standard. > Been sat here for quite a few days now, healing and drinking char.

IT'S NOT A MK 1 COROLLA! They were first made in the bloody 60s. It is, however, an AE86 if it's the pointy Trueno type. I like them. Just saw two on an ancient Clarkson thing on TV, being abused horribly by spotty prat teenagers at a Max Power show.

Noooo. Mustang. 70s Celicas were supposed to be the Japanese Mustang. The Corolla looked a little like an Escort, I suppose.

A decent condition one in Japan cost a fortune. Check out the Initial D manga cartoons to see how crazy the japs are for them. Fraser |
