rammers Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 i parked next to a gen 5 4ws (the only 1 other than mine ive ever seen) the other day with the occupant still in the car. Congratulated him on good taste in cars and i got a look like i'd just plowed his mother. Very odd. Can safely say he aint a member on here!

Dan23 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) there is at least 30 celicas round my way, about 80% of them gen 7s and half of them dont even realise 1 there is a club dedicated to them and two there was 6 models prior to theres. think the same goes for most of the 6s and 5s tbh lol with the exception they know there is either 1 or 2 newer shape models up than theirs lol i never take for granted a fellow celica driver (when i had my celica) was in the same mid frame as me with being careful of others cars. to prove a point the guy who lives about 4 doors up for me has a 140 and he is a total knob head lol Edited July 7, 2011 by Dan23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) We Can't all afford to get a mortgage to shop there Arizona and Planc, I meant as in family sticking together! as in the celica s :/ Admittedly I do flash every celica I pass, got a wave and flash from a red gen7 monday I think it was. Then yesterday I flashed, to get the "who the fook are you"look. Mind you, when they got closer she was about 60! :/ Edited July 7, 2011 by LeeW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArgoS Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 You've got to admit though the gen 6 does still look the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planc Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 You've got to admit though the gen 6 does still look the best. I've got to admit when the 6 was launched everyone in the dealership wondered why they couldn't design a car like the Prelude, techs through to sales. It has grown on me though.

LeeW Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) gen 6 looks a little like a merc from the front with all those lights...... (jk) thats why i prefer the 7 Edited July 8, 2011 by LeeW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adex Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 You've got to admit though the gen 6 does still look the best. Thats why Mr T had to make excuses for the gen 7... "Celica - It looks fast" General public... "shame its not!" Still a good ad though! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7xu-LdnIe8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a good ad though! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7xu-LdnIe8 Erm yeah, 140 quicker than ST, 190 quicker than the GT and the GT4 was was created to compete in the World Rally Championship, whose regulations dictate that a manufacturer must build road going versions of the vehicle in sufficient numbers, as Toyota was banned from the WRC for an illegal turbo restrictor design they moved into the F1 where road going versions are not needed. I do have appreciation for all Celica models, even the boxy Gen3 has some appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adex Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Easy now... bet you said that all in one breath, didn't you? :o I like 'em all too. Pretty sure most of us on here do. I could say something like if you go jap things look a little different - SS1 138bhp just a quick as G7 140, SS3 198bhp probably quicker than a G7 190... But that would be argumentative. Not to mention childish. So I won't. Ooops. :rolleyes: Edited July 9, 2011 by Adex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adex Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Absolute LEG-END of a car. It was one of 4 UK time-attack cars that were invited to take part in a round of the Jap time-attack. IIRC it suffered an engine failure, only to have another (albeit standard spec) 3S-GTE that another team lent them installed overnight! Set some pretty good times considering!

Old Red Celica Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 LOL! Stephen Fry once said "Thank heavens for Tesco's, keeps the scum out of Waitrose" Strange we seen him shopping in Sainsbury's and Waitrose locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
