Even though the AE86 was the most wanted Corolla during the last two decades, the AE82 was even more wanted in the decade before that: girls just loooooved them:
Now how many girls can you stuff in your hachi-roku? I only managed to get to three. ;)

Nothing much to tell about this Toyota Corolla EE80 except I passed it when I had picked up a Helios 59mm lens just minutes before. So of course I had to try it on the first thing I saw:

Pretty nice, crisp and sharp, isn’t it? :P
No hilarious posting today? Well I already posted something radical earlier this week, and this US commercial is somewhat hilarious as well! ;)
I know it sounds a bit weird dissing the AE86, but I had a very good laugh when I watched this US commercial of the new Toyota Corolla GT-S AE86! It is cheesy, it is very US and it even has a (double) Toyota jump in the end! Continue reading
Last weekend Japanese Nostalgic Blog was featuring Michael John Grist’s page with various Japanese ruins (haikyo). One of them was this rusty AE91 Corolla sedan at Tama lake:

The corolla must have been there for ages now: it is completely eaten by the foliage and the inside is covered in moss.

The front clearly shows the JDM Corolla emblem and one of the pictures on Michael John Grist’s page shows that the 4A-FE engine is still there!

I have been in some mossy cars down at the wreckers before and when looking at these pictures I can clearly feel that mossy smell in my nose again! Yuck!
You can find more pictures of this mossy Corolla (and other ruins) at Michael John Grist’s page
No, that is not a typo! It is indeed an Fujiwara Tofu Toyota Corolla AE81:

If Bunta Fujiwara would have driven an AE81 instead of the famous AE86, this is how he would have dressed up his little rolla. ;)
(it even has proper sideskirts!)
Found on Dennis’s mango blog when browsing the archives.
RS Yasu updated their blog with the notion that they are closed between 30th of december and 5th of january. Normally I would say this is not too exciting news, however they did feature a photograph of the KE30B122 pickup in front of their workshop:

It strikes me how much this workshop really looks like an average European house, like for instance in Austria, Germany or Hungary. I was fooled for a few seconds, but of course the pickup doesn’t belong there since Europeans (in contrary of the Americans) are not too fond of pickups.
If you’re interested in the rebuild of this nice KE30B122:

Edit: it is not a KE30, but a Nissan Sunny B122 pickup:
