An 1982 Toyota Carina GT-T, my daily driver.
1800cc, twin cam, twin spark turbo!

BEN! I didn't know you had one of these before! I've wanted one for a good few years now. I WILL have one as my next car. You might remember I owned an AE101 for a very short while, enjoyed that while I had it even with crooked steering and a knocking downpipe!

Ah yes, I remember. Cardhore's one, right?

I had a bit of a patchy time with it in all honesty - not long after I got it the OSF quarter was smacked by a hit-and-run driver, so I spent several weeks driving around in a £300 Laguna whilst I sourced a new wing, and then got the front end resprayed. I also found the handling a tad disappointing after my previous car - an MG ZS180 - surpassed all of my expectations

I still want another one though. Go figure!

Ah yeah ZS180's are also on my 'list'. Both are supposed to be epic FWD handlers, especially the MG. Bit unlucky to be hit in that, body parts can't be easy to source?

It was cardhore's yeah, that handled very well for a FWD, could turn on a dime and weighed as much as a biscuit.
