Toyota AE86

We

did see it on the mountain drifters quite a few years ago when we had the AE86 with kind of the...

Do you remember that one, the white AE86? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You saw that manga cartoon on the side.

So kind of almost following the theme of that and

So now that we are coming up on that car show, I got to decide what I want to bring to the show.

The S2000, the Toyota Century, the AE86, or...

Well, my options actually are a little limited because the S2000 and the Century are the only interesting cars I have that actually run at the moment.

So...

Yeah.

Do you know that white and black AE86 that's on the wall there behind us?

Yes.

Did you know that that ...

It looks really good, like it's all cars.

Yeah.

Like, there's that AE86, there's like an RX-7, like there's loads of cars and it does look pretty good.

Yeah.

They had a shell for, like, the original two-seat, two-door 240, well, we call them Zs, but the 240Z, which was back then a Datsun before it became Nissan in America.

And the third body shell was Might have been AE86.

Yeah, hachi roku.

Anyway, but three like relatively popular sort of cars in our circles.

And the Toyota 2000 GT and the 2c- 240, 260Zs, they kind of filled in that c-competitive sort of element in the Japanese market, which they obviously brought over to America.

Well, not the 2000, but the, the, the Zs went over to, to, to America, and were, as you would well know, they were very, very sought after, both as, um, you know, just common street cars and also for, for like semi-professional motorsport.

And the, and the 86 is just the Japanese sort of, you know, anyone who is familiar with Initial D knows how, how, how much the AE86 is sought after.

And it's the last Corolla that was rear-wheel drive.
