Hello,
I'm french (sorry, nobody's perfect) and I've bought my first Celica-Supra a few months ago.
Fisrt, I beg your pardon if my english is not quite good...
Don't ask me why I choose this car, I really don't know. I had a lot of old cars (unknown in your country!) before but I was looking for one to do road trips with my wife and mine 8 and 14 years old sons. Whant something with space, reliable, with air conditionning, at least a 6cyl engine and RWD. And this car appear!
So, I find it in north of Portugal, 1800km (1100 miles) from my house, in a garage. This car was a first hand, it have been bought in 1985 in Canada by a woman who came in 1992 lo live in Portugal. And she bring the car whith her. Now she was to old to drive it.
When I bought the car it had only 49000 miles!!!
In august we took the plane to take it bake to France. During 2 weeks of hollydays we travel true north to south Portugal, west to est Spain and west to est France. 4800 kilometers. With the Air conditionning of, and about 40-45°c it was very hard but very cool. We only had one problème (except the AC) the tires were to old: from 1999 and only 1500km. So one of them was at the point to explod.
So I change the wheels and tires.
In October we take one more week to do an othe road trip thrue north Italia, 1200km more!
Soon, some pictures...
