Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Okay, I have to admit: I cheated here… I did not spot this Carina at all. Instead David emailed some days ago me he has an extensive Toyota collection including a good looking Carina TA60:
Polish Carina TA60
So I cheated a bit to keep the DOTS in the Carina Week theme. :(

David’s Carina is a 1983 2T powered Carina with a manual gearbox.
And the good news: David’s Carina is for sale for only 700 euros! A bargain!
Drop me an email if you want to get in touch with him!
I found this just-after-clipping-point drift image of the Carina AA63 at the Inland Sea round of the MSC and it blew my mind away:

The blog I found it on gave it the title Masterpiece. I think he hit the hammer on the head with that title! ;)

A Carina AA63 drifting on Ebisu Circuit West Course followed by two zenki Levin AE86s, I couldn’t have thought of a better lineup myself!
Carina drifting in the nineties
The picture was taken in the mid nineties when drifting was taking a huge ramp-up and Initial D just skyrocketed in sales. The AE86 was suddenly a very popular car and the Carina was a very undervalued car. Lucky enough someone got the sanity to buy this AA63 and drift the hell out of it!
Small detail: the last AE86 was powered by a 7A-GZE. Pretty radical mod back in those days! ;)
Found at [California Expedition]
I already posted about the Corona/Carina/Carina trio competing in the MSC tandem drift almost a year ago. A few weeks back Killian O’Brien posted this promo video of the 2007 MSC DVD on the Banpei.net page featuring them as well:
If you watch closely you can see them drift by a couple of times! :)
