That's a cool 1974 Celica!

 

Btw think it's better that you mask off the number plate.

[Super7]

yeah, abit late now..... numbers exposed

 

btw, i am very innocent/naive one and always wanted to find out: what complication/harm will exposing nos cause? the owner has no plans to rob the bank n use it as his get-away car , there will be no description of the engine here (mod or not-mod), ..........

 

cheers

I think it's not to attract undesired attention, be it from TP or parties whom you unknowingly "offended" due to posting in the forum.

 

If you want to use Celica as getaway car, change the license plate first!

[Super7]

opppps.....may i solmnly request dear moderator/administor help remove pics which show car numbers........ pleeeease

 

Cheers

COOL CAR!!!!

always wanted an old car...u know...like mini, boxy volvo,MGs......so much character........but haiz......in "COEed" sillypore[furious]........how to maintain??? now....where did i keep my winning big sweep tic?

[Super7]

one of the good things about owing an old car is that whenever i manage to fix some 'problems' and get the car going right again, the sense of satisfaction is great .... but then again, other problems will pop up later.... it goes round in circle .... the thrills and joys of hunting and finding the rare parts eg signal lens, badges..... are also part of the fun...

 

i almost scrapped mine until suddenly the COE dropped to $50 last year..... heng ah

 

yeah, i aways wanted a Mini.... but by chance i bought my Celica and since that day have been a happy owner

 

cheers

yours can be a classic/vintage car liao right??

[Rx7_lover]

anyways I have a few cars which I would love to keep as vintage cars if I have the space to keep them that is.

actually now that I think of it. It would be nice to put those car at PG. Cos in singapore the vintage cars only can go on the street less than 30 days in a month. Buying a coe for that car is really exp, and the road tax is a killer (10% increase every year after 10 years) There is the opportunity to race the car at pg and if there is any trouble then can service it there. But still it isn't a cheap hobby by any means, but should be cheaper than forking out the coe and 280% increase in road tax (adding 10 % more each year).

my 73 celica is 29 years old now, has to waiting till she's 35 to qualify as vintage/classic

[Rx7_lover]

hoho.... mostly early 90's car.... that is the era for me....

 

^^;;

 

supra (last gen), celica (90-92 model), mr2 (not spyder), RX7 (last gen), gtr (the one that just stopped production), prelude (92- 96 model), interga (the model before the new one), civic (early mid 90s one), SL500 (the previous model), 3 series / M3 (the last squarish one), 8 series bmw.

 

I have a few others but can't really recall them atm.

 

in my mind that is really the era when cars looked so fine. Now they just look like mordern art. Some just look too horrible to drive.

I thought you can qualify when it is 25 years no?

 

I read that somewhere.... maybe they typo...

[Guyver]

Wah!! your dear Celica paintwork look so good!! new paint?

[Rx7_lover]

actually sorry to be mean but it looks like a chocolate car to me.

 

not my color. Anyways if I get any of those cars I want prob all will be black or blue. no funny funny colors .

 

I like being vanlia (I don't like white so black )

[Guyver]
