So this just happened. Guy across the road was selling his Celica. Caught my eye in the classifieds. If you like cars a Castrol Toyota will do that. Had no intention to buy a Celica as a second car, but missed a manual and this car is really sorted (adult owners only, almost no rust, cool look (wouldn't have bought if it was purple or something similar) and got a good price for the condition it's in. Reckon I can use it a year and get more than I paid for it so couldn't pass up. Only issue I don't have a second parking spot lol, that's my man brain at work lol

It's just a 1.8 with 116 hp but upside is car weighs like 1080 (!) kg's so should be fun hooning around like 9/10ths my local Norwegian forests. I can't wait for the weekend.

Saw a rally prep version at a motor show years ago, still a great shape.

I feel the Castrol decals are only there to distract for the cheating Turbo hehe
