Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Ben R managed to find me a picture of the red Carina TA63 at the JCCA New Year Meeting 2012:
I love the 63 licenseplate!
It also enabled me to track down the owner: it is the Carina GT Turbo I posted before. Apart from driving around in the Carina TA63 he is also singing a lot in his videos. You can find “his blog here

Just found another clip of the Carina TA63 drifter I features a few weeks back!
Probably from the same Drift Showdown video but this time it also mentions the event and location: Nikko best 20 finalist at (obviously) Nikko circuit.
