The "How many alltracs/gtfours have you seen in person" game

So I was thinking about how long I have had my car, and how many of these I have actually seen in person. For the longest time, it was only couple, but I can mark of a few more since then. I know they are rare, but I always wondered if other enthusiast saw just as few as I have. This is what I have seen since 1999.

Post when you saw the car(s) and then a total

• 1st gtfour I saw was for sale in ATL.
• 2nd was the one I flew to Michigan to buy.
• 3 was back home, I was just out for a drive and saw my car's twin. Never saw it again
• 4&5 were at my first celica pigeon forge meet. Both were member on the forum.
• 6 was seen at a site where I was sent to take photos for a story I was working on. It was sold on this forum a while back.
• 7 Was at another Dragon meet I held. It was just me in the Z and him.
• 8&9 Was gt4rcdude 185 and Mr2Guru's 165 at a celica meet.
• 10&11 VIP09 and Ben's at another Celica meet.
• 12&13 Were Trumanpriest's and Drew Monk's when I moved here to STL.

• When I was in Malaysia I saw a blue 185RC on the way to Singapore
• In KL I rode in a Matte Teal St205
• On multiple Trips to Malaysia I have seen at least 19 Caldina Gtfours.

So My count is...
165s 1
185s 14
205s 1
246s 19+

In the last 8 years or so, rough estimate would be a few hundred that I have seen in person in various countries.
I have worked on :

no less than 100 st185s
no more than 10 st165s
no more than 10 st205s

6 - 165's (three of which were mine)
2 - 185's
1 - 205

I also got to experience a 165, 185, & 205 all in the same place. It was pretty awesome esp for a random place in the midwest.

I remember my first alltrac! I went to the toyota meet at colt state park in bristol ri just because i wanted to see an alltrac! I saw a silver st165(dont know who it belonged to). Then i saw jeremy's (alltracman78's) 93 st185. Totally made my day finally seeing an st185 in person! The only other alltracs i have seen are mine(when i went to go buy it from its previous owner), a red st185 while driving on the highway, and my friend nikkis st185.Thats it! 5 in total.

Oh wow! Thats too cool! The rims are same as the car in your sig. Definitely yours! Im starting to remember both these cars now, i remember both of them were clean enough to eat off of. Did one of them have a 185 swap? I cant remember.

First one I ever saw was my previous red 165. That would have been around 2000 or so. Wrecked it in 2003. Since then I've seen maybe 2-3 other 165's (a white one in Redmond not too long ago). Just purchased a black 165 a month ago. Probably another or two one in there.

Right after I wrecked my first one I wanted to buy a black 185, met up with a guy (probably from here), went for a test drive around Southcenter and everything but didn't have the right about of cash at the time. I know I've seen at least a couple other 185's around.

I've seen a 205 conversion (at least I think it was a conversion). 'twas red.
