    Haha… And I thought the publicity stunt of entering a Carina TA60 privately in Paris Dakar was already a harsh treatment for the Carina:

    Haha! That is too cool! Literally πŸ™‚

    Looks like another obscure bit of Toyota literature (and history) that I need to keep my eyes open for!

    Now that looks like a good time! If you want to freeze your arse off like I’m doing in NYC right now, you might as well have fun!

    LOL πŸ™‚

    @Ben – why would you want to leave sunny So Cal and go to NYC in winter?!

    @Matt – who’s Matt? lol Do we have a new contributor to the Blog, or did I miss intros somewhere? lol

    That is another piece of history. That is to show us how reliable Toyotas were in the past as in the present.

    Toyotageek – Not to be a buzzkill, but Dan and I have a very ill family member we are visiting in the hospital. We have spotty internet connection at the hospital and Matt Burabuda has been kind enough to step in!

  7. Toyotageek says:

    Ben & Dan – sorry to hear about your family situation. I hope everything turns out for the better.

    Thanks! I should add that we wanted Matt to impart is wisdom on us even before this emergency took place and think he’ll make a great permanent fixture around these parts. πŸ™‚
