Hayashis? Ooh...suits you sir. (sorry image link not working - click to view!) How cool? Not entirely sure what it is...not sure I care. I'm just gonna stare at it and drool. (edit: It's a CROWN)

	It's so simple...and it could be done to anything: a Honda Legend, a Cortina, a Bluebird.

	I love the CROWN coupe. I always liked the Laurel coupe too but they are sooooo rare. With cars like this it's all about the wheels. The paint's nice but pretty well everything else is stock. I'm now thinking about fat black 15" deep steels with stretched tyres for mine now. Why is something as simple as wheel choice so fraught with difficulty? Have you tried findind 114.3 four stud 15" deep black steel wheels? Great stuff. I love the Japanese customising. Charlie

	hotwire in da house: On the subject of CROWNs The more I look at these the more I feel the need, the need for a CROWN Pick Up, there are a couple of CROWNs here in Sweden but no Pick Ups so to own one I hve to go Japan for one so I guess I'll look at some pix and just dream on...... Don't know if these are CROWNs but they are coooool..... Ohhh and for all you J-Car freaks, Moonyes has a Japanese Yokohama licence plate in the new 2006 Catalouge....

	50's kustom style '63 MS41 right down tp the interior, has some great pinstriping and hand painted lettering too! Loved this 'rat-look' MS63 wagon, flat paint, rusted out arches and sills and nice shiney Cragars and Coopers! Nice MS65 had microflake and Kandy Rootbeer, as well as late model 90's CROWN rims. Bagged MS63 wagon Nice MS55 running 18" Anteras with a polished lip

	Another 'rat-look' wagon, this time an MS46 Think the paint is original? Shame we don't get more of these classics here! This was the nicest ride there, a bagged MS51 coupe, absolutely stunning! It drove in this low too, as Japan's roads are super-flat and the healthy tuck of the stock steels with bullet caps meant plenty of arch clearance!
