CelicaBen190 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Currently in the Falklands, enjoying the last bit of summer here (about 17-22 degrees). But sick of land rovers and 30mph lol. Lots to do here, loads of sports and activities and exploring to do. And of course work to keep me busy! But i do miss my celica, its back with the wife... hope she doesnt scrape it down a garage again! I have seen one celica here among all the land rovers.etc..... and its a red gen 5! There is also a mk1 supra 3.0L in red as well which is realllllly nice. Wouldnt mind one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorris Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 There is always the Kart club for a bit of a fix if you can call it that. Never noticed a Celica last time I was down there back in 08. Cant see a Gen 5 lasting long with all that salt air, mind you some of then roads down there would make great rally stages, Id love to find out how quick I could get from MPA to Stanley in my GT4.

s_pid Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Last time I was down there was 99. We had disembarked from the ship with our Lynx. We had also made some sledges from drip trays and went off in the landrover to find the best hills. There are a few too choose from down there. Just watch the rocks!!!!!!

Second half of the year got back 1 Nov was working over at the Mighty Snow and Ice, I took over the running of the Kart club workshop whilst I was down there bit of a mess. I remember my last 6 weeks was nothing but blue skies so a nice finish to my last OOA im out in May. Dorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelicaBen190 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Ive seen that red supra!! Apparently it belongs to some squaddies who pass it on to each other. Its a bit pink now though, needs detailing alot! Looks awesome though. The gen5 was a red one, only saw the back of it though. Where were you working dom?
