Carina Sightings: Emil and Thomas at Gardemoen

Emil and Thomas are from Norway and took their Carina TA60 sedans out on the Gardemoen ice track. Too bad Emil and Thomas used a copyrighted song for this video, but nevertheless it really looks like they are having fun in the snow (and ice):

It may not be suitable for the faint hearted, the ending is very bad for one of the Carinas… :(

Carina sightings: Austrian Carina GL on Flickr

I found this Carina GL TA60 on Flickr and I suspect it is from Austria. I really like the coloring by the photographer and I think it is called Fuji Colorshift (it is in an album called like that).
Nice colored Austrian Carina GL

Apparently the GL had a better trim than the DX: it features a backseat with raised headrests instead of the flat backseat my DX has…
Carina GL with more expensive back seat

Perhaps I should look for a GL backseat in Austria then! :)

TA40 pedalbox arrived!

The TA40 pedalbox has arrived yesterday!

TA40 pedals

Unfortunately Mark totalled his Celica TA40 and a lot of parts were salvagable. Lucky for me the TA40 pedalbox, master break and clutch cylinders were in perfect condition!

I bought the set because when converting from auto I’m in need of a clutch pedal. Since the TA40 and TA60 have the same bottom the pedalbox should be a perfect fit!

Thanks again for going through all trouble Mark!

Carina hits 75k mark

Carina done 75000km

Carina done 75000km

As you can see: my Carina drove 75000km so far!

Actually I didn’t really keep an eye upon the speedo, but while parking the car last sunday I noticed this odd (actually even!) phenomenon. ;)
