I'm parked up for the weekend on pride of ownership stand

Had a great day in the week. My Celica was involved in a photo shoot for the Classic & Sports Car magazine, taking Malcolm’s place I must add, mine and a Mk2 Capri and a Vauxhall Firenza were there. Many pictures were taken including a lot of driving shots which I think will make great pictures. Simon Hucknall who organised it drove each car which was strange for me as I’m the only one who’s ever driven it apart from the mot tester. Apparently it will be in the September edition, so looking forward to that. Nice that my car has been getting some recognition lately. Hopefully all good for the club. IMG_1965.mov IMG_1966.mov

Hi all, Just joined the club and figured I'd say hi here, I've seen this group in the Goodwood show and appreciated the display there. Here's my Celica on a really really good day

Silverstone 2025:

Took The AVON out today. Not far, 40miles or so, Inc a Maccy D's on the way home.

This is one of my favourite photos - a rainbow in the drizzle on Llanberris Pass, N Wales a few years ago.

Found this in an antique shop for a fiver.

Our little lineup at RunningRetros day last Sunday

Throwback Thursday , me with my first RA28 , sometime around 1990 ish Poor quality pic as i had to lighten it a lot as the original is very dark

Famous at last 😃

Evening all, they did do that feature and there was very a interesting story related with Juha K’s title in 1993 associated with it. It was filmed on a forest stage near Pickering last summer. Unfortunately it was cut due to time constraints (I only found out a few days ago), the show itself is only 44 minutes long. When we met the team, Tim Shaw was keen to learn more about homologation, that’s why they filmed with Nicky Grist. And I assume that’s why they retained his clip over ours (I would have done the same). If you watched it, you will have noticed them dwelling on the struts, they knew they could have used coil overs but wanted to show that you can get oem ones refurbished. They are correct regards CS struts as well, they are different part numbers to standard GT4. I visited the garage a couple of times and they did do an excellent job, without a doubt it will be one of the best most original CSs out there (we’ll not mention the JDM interior lol!) they only had it in for 6 weeks from memory. I even had one of the mechanics on FaceTime helping them put the wiring loom back in the engine bay amongst other things (quite surreal) Thanks for contacting me Sheila, it was an interesting day and I was hesitant, it took a couple of phone calls from a producer to convince me to take part. I notice Tim Shaw gets a bit of a bashing on social media, the pair of them are real gents and petrol heads, he doesn’t deserve it, it’s just TV. Last point of interest, the car wasn’t started until about 6pm the day before the reveal where it had to be transported c100miles. I had plenty of texts and a couple of phone calls on that day, in the end one of our other members guided them as to what the issue was and it was genuinely sorted in the nick of time. Does anybody know if the owner is a CCUK member? I’ll post some photos tomorrow.

The Celica seems so little between its cousins

Just found this at Caffeine & Machine from 2019 or 2020.Not strictly per this threads rules but as its so nice I thought you might like it Sheila.

Same here!

Took the old Celica out for a little ride around yesterday

That's cool! I've got the Gen6 version that came with my car that was featured.

Looking good at goodwood shame I wasn’t feeling so good myself. Still a amazing day.

Makes a change from the 'pretty' shots eh

A morning spent attacking B- roads with a Supra and a Ferrari..in good company

One from a couple of weeks back.

Cooling down under the cherry trees at Prescott Hill Climb.

We were at a car meet at Cotswold Airport recently. Grabbed the opportunity in front of the 747 while we could!

Managed to get to Brussels and back without any issues. I may have also found out it's limited to a certain speed 🤣

Nice RA28 I saw the 2000GT at the TEC National meet in 2016 , lovely motor

New wheels, Enkei PF06 18x8,5 with Yokohama V701

Not (my) Celica but I thought this would get appreciation here due to the other car this person owns to the right.

My baby is finally getting its new clothes (respray )

The cut scene has been posted on FB and YouTube today

A throwback picture (well 2) for a Thursday. Ethel back in about 2007

Japshow Finale , Santa Pod entry pic , last year

Is it summer yet

Celica out for a Xmas drive.

A shame I can't find the photo I took for the GT4OC calendar just after I bought my first GT4. It was taken on the beach at the moonfleet with the chessel beach in the background. For anyone who knows the area, there used to be a remnant of a bouncing bomb on the beach as this was the area used for the training for the famous dam busters raid. The remnant was, however, found by people in authority and taken to a local museum. On the other hand, this photo features Ezzy, not just a grey 185

Someone appears to have thrown paint over my car!

Another view of the line-up at Goodwood

I organised a Wheels at Prescott Breakfast Meet yesterday, featuring Mitsubishi 50th Anniversary Rally Tour calling in for the 1st stage stop on their day's mystery rally tour through the Cotswolds. All car marques were welcome - but as I choose which cars go on special display on the Bugatti Terrace, I had our two CS's and JCRoadWarrior's Gen 6 amongst them

Found a cousin on our way home from mid Wales in August.

Go!Japan Brands Hatch today.

The end of the day at East Coast Japanese show 'Shinka'

..and me again,Beaulieu Simply Japanese 21/07.

Ready for Simply Japanese next weekend!

We managed to buy a copy from our local newsagent this afternoon.
