I have always thought the Veyron was hideous, but the Chiron changes it in exactly the right ways. Love that thing. *ED. - turns out I've been pronouncing it wrong, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiron. Like kyron, I guess? Been watching too much Salomondrin.

My favorite from that post is the 996 RS, though. Call me weird, but the later 996 is one of my favorite 911 bodies.

I mean...
 
I hope you don't mind getting a bit boring but recently i went with my dad to check out a Toyota Innova for my uncle to buy and as i was going there, i heard that Toyota dealership here are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Toyota over here (We got Toyota later than any other region nearby) and were showing some of it's old classic cars so i said why not go there and check it out?

I'm going to start with the least interesting car IMO but it's one of my dad's "childhood" memories.

Toyota Cressida (The 1980 and 1984 model)

The Cressida is what considered here the Predecessor of Camry XV10 since we didn't get any Camry's until Toyota stopped the Cressida in 1992 and gave us the Australian Camry XV10 all the way to this very day (until this happens). Used to be really popular here and my dad's first car was the 1983 model so he was happy to see this one in clean condition. Nothing more to say really.

Moving on, we got the 1964 Toyota Stout:

(Notice the MPH gauge? US spec anyone?)

Now i know that this truck exist before but...uhhh i barely hear about it at all so i guess i would let that History display talk to you.

Ah now it's time to move into my possibly one of my most favorite generation of Land Cruiser's:
FJ40

This is one of my Guilty Pleasures, i always dreamed about driving the FJ40 to just go off roading and explore the dunes with other people. I find this truck to be awesome, no wonder why Land Cruiser's are such a popular name here. It's a shame that nowadays, it's nothing more than a shopping & city living driven by an average city boy like every other SUV out there right now.

The J60? Sure, not bad at all IMO but it doesn't stand out as much as the older FJ. Gotta point out that this is a USDM model oddly, the FJ40 on the other hand isn't.

I will edit these post later since it's 5:49 and i haven't slept yet so in the meanwhile, enjoy these images:

:D
 
The second-gen Delta is one fine looking hatchback. It was a shame they left the UK just before these launched as I'd have owned one by now.
 
So it turns out that we did get the Mitsubishi Evo in the late 90's...sort of.

Thanks to several accounts related to local rallying back in the days, the Evo used to be available but in very limited quantities or let's say numbers.

Here's a 1999 poster for a Rally event that featured an Evo V if I'm correct.

And even the Evo VI Tommi Mäkinen edition:

Now the question is...where the hell did all these cars go? Did they just ended up in the junkyard? Probably.
 
We have seven 959s in at work right now. Two of them are 959Ss. View attachment 654498
Can we all come live with you? Or at least in your shop. Cali seems like the place to be to see all the cool cars.

I know Cali is insane when it comes to owning a car due to compliance and SMOG but based on having 7 959s in at one time must mean ALL the cool cars are hiding in Cali somewhere. Or get shipped there. Major speculation or am I just jealous? Probably the latter.

It's a bit hyped up really. There are ways around smog and there are no inspections here like there are on the east coast.

Most of our customers ship their cars here from all over. 993 GT2, and 993 RS Clubsport are here too. There have been so many rare 911s come in I've never seen before. 964 RS 3.8, 964 Turbo S Lightweight, 964 Turbo Flatnose, multiple 2.7 RSs, and a prototype 67 911R. Still can't believe I work here.
