Hi! I recently replaced my '85 Celica GT with a '94 GT-Four. My oh my, what an upgrade - I'm enjoying the AWD goodness. I've gotta say, I get a few strange looks... I guess most guys just don't expect to see a girl driving a RHD car?

Enough about me, here's the car!

And, for giggles, a family photo. This is my boyfriend's '84 mkii Supra - I've got one too, but it sure isn't as nice and shiny as this one! Mine's sitting in a garage, surrounded by parts, with the motor beside it. Eventually it'll look a lot like his. In the meantime, he's registering his car envy by constantly reminding me that his car is much, much faster than mine. It's far from stock, as you would guess. My car was dirty because it was gross out here.

None yet - no point! The car is pretty much completely stock. Nothing worth seeing except the usual top mount water-air intercooler. As a side note: holy balls, the engine bay is packed! This coming from someone who had a 22RE powered car... there was tons of room to wiggle in there.

Eventually I'll get around to it...


The garage belongs to my partner's parents - we recently renovated it. We'll be building our own garage (read: car house) in about a month... hello chassis lift!

Yes we were - and will be again this year, only with both cars instead of just the Supra. I was going to do a lot of work to the '85 and have it ready for this year's meet.... but then I realized just HOW MUCH RUST the damn thing had. And how hard it was to work on, because everything was rusty. I have a mkii to work on, I didn't want to be doing a full resto and a swap on what was my DD!

So I bought a 205. Which is much, much, more difficult to work on... except that things come off when you want them to. Nothing - I reapeat - NOTHING is rusty on this car. Except that one tiny little spot. But I'm going to fix it.

OMG....that is one sexy ST205.....I very much heart the colour. I just hope the owner looks as good as the car, to maintain the overall image of course! :lol:

So what exactly does ur b/f have under the hood in his supra (looks good too btw)?

Coming from another girl who drives a RHD all-trac, the confusion never gets old, it makes driving a lot of fun. They seem very surprised that I can a drive a RHD stick shift and then switch to another car and drive LHD stick shift in one day better then the can.

Sweet 205, always good to be reminded of oldschool greatness.
