Right then.
About 3 years ago I am pretty sure that I owned a 1982 Toyota Carina 1600 (i think).
It was a 4-door saloon and was finished (although not necessarily started) in dog-poo brown with red primer bits.
I only had it a couple of months as a "stop-gap" car, and whilst I appreciated the lovely smoothness of it, Retro-Rides hadn't been invented then so I didn't realise the potential of such a KWALITY old motor. It was known throughout the land (and generally mocked) as the TURDMOBILE owing to both it's colour and genral naff-ness, and when something "better" came along it was promptly flogged to a couple of Albanian refugees.
Now the problem is this. I really, really regret selling such a lovely old clunker (which I had rather impressively aquired for £0.00) and would like to find another to apply some serious J-style slammage to...
BUT thinking about it, I don't think I have EVER seen another one the same on the roads...
DID I BLOODY DREAM IT??? ??
This fear that I may have been smoking something that has caused me to invent purely ficticious cars is further compounded by the fact that when searching the vast resource that is the WorldWideWibble I can't find a bloody trace of one anywhere.
It's not helped by the fact that I can't remember what the Toyota "TA" nomenclamenture for this car was...
So come on guys - help me out and prove that I'm not completely losing the plot...
IT IS NOT QUITE LIKE THIS...
AND IT IS ALSO NOT QUITE LIKE THIS...
It's kinda somewhere inbetween (but still rwd).
The only pic I can find that shows any of this model is this tiny thumbnail...
Which really doesn't help much and is causing much frustration!!
