[Celica photo challenge.]

Or I may be forced to erect a Xmas tree next to my car.

No need Bryan, I have a 'ready erected' one next to the LHD Sunchaser (well' it's a big tree with some Christmas lights on it !!!).

If this is acceptable, the next challenge is to be your Celica next to a Santa Claus, preferably a human one, but if not try and make it a life-size one at least

[Celica photo challenge.]

Next ... your car and an electricity pylon.

Angus

Not a brilliant photo, but it took some finding! Angus might be relieved to know that I don't have a pylon in my garden and that I actually had to travel out of town for this one

Next in keeping with the power theme, your Celica next to an electricity sub-station.

[Celica photo challenge.]

If it is, please take next challenge as Celica next to a horsebox lorry/horse trailer

Obviously no takers on this one, so to try and keep the thread alive please accept this as the answer to my own challenge:

MR X next to our box at a one day event yesterday complete with ferocious guard dog

I'll let the next poster choose a new challenge. Let's keep this going !!!!

[Celica photo challenge.]

Next: Celica beside/under a cherry tree in blossom.

Fingers out, people!

Angus

Now I'm not the gardener in the family, the wife is. But she's at Badminton Horse Trials this weekend so I can't confirm this is a cherry tree:

I've taken a close up tp see if anyone can confirm this:

If it is, please take next challenge as Celica next to a horsebox lorry/horse trailer to celebrate the wife being away all weekend

If i win, how about your car near a "Danger!!" sign?

Let's give him a reprieve then, shall we go with his suggestion of a Danger sign?

[Post your CELICA pic of the day:ONE PIC PER PERSON PER DAY PLEASE!]

An early pic of MR X from a couple of years ago before I put the alloys on.

[New Brian Long book]

I'm going to order one of these to supplement the original book I inherited with the Sunchaser, which is a personally signed copy from Brian as MR X features in the 2nd Gen section to explain the Griffith Sunchaser story. Unfortunately it was a little inaccurate in the worldwide production figures for the model, but the book is generally very informative.

See, we're fortunate enough to not have any Little Chefs within 50 miles or so ...

And anyway, Ms Bev, is there not one near you anywhere? Essex is made of fast food outlets and supermarkets (and Southend Pier), isn't it?

Angus

OK I'll extend it to include the fast food outlet of your choice

I'm sure there must be a McDonalds near you Angus, they're Scottish after all aren't they

[Celica photo challenge.]

Next - your Celica outside a tattoo shop.

Angus

Probably a bit late on this one:

so I did this one as well :rolleyes: which was the next challenge set

Next if there's still any interest I suggest your Celica next to a Little Chef restaurant while they are still in business... Extra points if you can get a glum looking employee next to the car

[The Vert Thread - general information & owners list]

Sorry to be pedantic Katy, but I'm now the proud owner of 3 Sunchasers as the post below detailed. Could I ask you to be so kind as to update the recently updated list to reflect this.

Thanks in advance, Ian.

I'd like to add another car to your list of club convertibles.

2nd Generation TA40 Griffith Sunchaser 1983 (very late registered Gen 2)

1600cc 2T-B engine, 5-speed T50 manual gearbox

Rare RHD car in Silver. Needs restoration and repair to rear R/H quarter following accident in 2000.

That makes 3 Sunchasers in the drive now, I'll have to stop buying them or divorce will loom !!!!!

Regards, Ian.
