  10. is getting Charlie Sheen'd !

  11. I'm sure the first time I met Perry was at the same meet as Bubba - one of the first meets held by CCUK, close to Billing Aquadrome nearly 5 years ago. It soon became apparent that this bloke was something else - he'd already taken the Dremel to his Gen7 and installed some better rear foglights and started altering the interior. How little we realised what heights Perry would reach in modifying cars at the time. Perry's philosophy about modifying seemed to be "It CAN be done and I WILL do it myself" - with better results achieved than the professionals at garages. A wizzard with the Dremel his work was always spot on. His nights spent on E-Bay and the internet in general, scouring the world for that unique mod he wanted, for that inspiration, or just for that special impulse buy will always be remembered. As will his justifaction of everything being included in his "£50 mod rule". His legacy is that there are 4 highly modified cars out there that anyone would be proud of owning and many, many people (myself included) have been inspired, and continue to be inspired by him. Here's a few photo,s from my collection - none of the Faff or Boxster I'm afraid. The first one was taken at meet when some of us met Perry for the first time - already the changes had started. All the Gen 7 owners and myself were inspired after this meet and only one of the cars seen in this photo remains the same (Bassmans Black Gen 6). The line up from right to left is - Garry 190 - inspired by Perry and too all extent, became competetion for Perry Perry - already the foglights and spoiler had changed. Bubba - yes, his old Celica WAS Black and standard at this point Jag - started the slippery slope of the darkside after this meet Guam - had already started but was still inspired by Perry to reach further Me - I could only dream of doing what Perry had done Bassman The next photo was taken at the Brighton Bash - held to celebrate the first year of CCUK. Bear in mind this was less than a year after we first met @ Billing and the changes to Perry's Gen 7 are clearly evident. Now we have the SAME car @ the Traxx meet, If my memory serves me correctly, approx 6 months after the Brighton Bash. And finally the Roadster at the Essex meet.
  12. I've not got a 'vert' but can I just say the Toyota model code for the Gen 6 vert is 'ST202C' - the C standing for convertable/cabriolet/cut-off roof
  13. And to stop entires from car shows, lets have some Christmas decorations visible in the photo.
  14. New challenge is - Your Celica next to another Celica. Whether flyered or not, I want to see 2 Celicas in the same piccy!
  15. Until Mook makes a request, the next feature for a Celica photo is a windmill. This is meant to be a light hearted thread , intended to encourage some different Celica photographs - getting away from the "On my drive" & "At a car show" standards that we normally get. Any information on the location will add to the interest of the photograph. So get out there and get snapping - show off your Celicas with pride!
