DOTS: Toyota Celica GT liftback RA64

At the day of my arrival in the SF Bay area I went to the Santa Clara mall and parked at the top. I immediately noticed this Celica GT Liftback parked so I parked right next to it and took a few snapshots (including some B/W following later).

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I suspect it is the 22R powered RA64 model since no other US models are marketed as a GT (or GT-S).

The paintjob on this Celica has seen better days, just like a lot of other 15+ year old cars I spotted. I now understand why cars in California need a new paintjob regularly. ;)

DOTS: Brown Toyota Crown LS110

Imagine the surprise I had when I biked home earlier this week and saw a something resembling an early eighties Toyota two blocks away. Biked over there and to my surprise it was an immaculate Toyota Crown S110!

The Crown itself is a 2.2 liter diesel powered LS110 and has been imported into the Netherlands in February this year. The owner must be a very proud owner I guess.

I took some photos (B/W celluloid, so need processing) and, the one you are viewing now, a quick snap with my phonecam. Black and white photos will follow shortly.

DOTS: Toyota Supra MA70

Even though the Toyota Supra 3.0 turbo MA70 isn’t that rare I hardly spot one in the wild. This one was driving in front of me when I visited our second Dutch office for my work. Lucky enough it parked in the same multi-storey car park as I did.

I took a quick snapshot with my phone cam and a better picture with my analogue camera that still needs to be developed…
