Hi AE86ers!

James, I just thought I'd post here as a have a picture of your car you might be interested in.

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Toyota Cressida]

That's my car on the right (also posted above by the Doctor - hi mate! :winkSmile with yours on the left, pictured about a year or so before it fell into Nightmare's hands. The shot was taken in Gravesend, not far from me and interestingly where my car had spent all of it's life since new until I bought it from it's origialelderly owners. Nightmares bought the car from Cornwall (or Somerset?) several hundred miles away!

My car was part of a feature with several other Retro-Rides members cars in Max Power(!) earlier in the year. I'm currently in negotiations for the car to find another owner sometime soon.

Linkage:

OMG. Matt Jones hangs around there as well! Big Grin

Matt Jones Wrote:Damn, I love old japs, looks amazing! You gotta polish those rims though...

Don't spose you know good places to pick up old Japs? The mrs needs a little runaround but I only really know my old Mercs so kind of lost when it comes to buying anything that hasn't got a star on the end of the bonnet.
I suppose this is written almost two years ago, but that guy seriously got some excellent taste in cars:
- 197x Datsun Sunny coupe
- 1980 Datsun Laurel
- 1982 Honda Civic CRX
- 198x Mitsubishi Galant rwd

Only type of JDM cars I miss here are the 198x Toyotas. Tongue

Anyway, I see he's really into the cressedias now. Good thing to now. Thumbs up!

BTW: I suspect that D.Wars actually is the Dutch version of Matt Jones. >Smile
