The age-old question: pre-facelift DR30, or iron mask, which do you like better? Michael likes the uglyfronts:
Grille?
Whilst I prefer the squinty Darth Vader-esque evilness of the facelift:
Or no grille?
Amazingly, I still meet people who can’t tell the difference between the two!

Hey Alistair, I think these guys stole your thunder!
1986 Toyota Century VG40, start price $12,000
I’m finding more and more ’80s Japanese sportscars and other rarities on tardme every week. The fact that most of them are listed at ridiculous prices has its advantages and disadvantages (as I’ve complained about bitterly in the past); though I suppose if prices stay artificially inflated there’s a chance I might get a tiny bit more than the “asking price” I had envisioned for the KDR30 if I ever decide to pass it on. We shall see.
But it’s amusing to see the sort of price disparities that exist between the auctions in Japan and the yards over here (even after taking shipping and compliance into effect) – which might be the subject of another blog entry one day if I ever get my USS login back.
Anyway, back to liberty8… this must be the yard mentioned in an earlier blog post, because in addition to the aforementioned Century… look – there’s that Soarer, that AW11 MR2, and that Fairlady 200ZR!
Escaped the hideous humidity of Auckland on a whim late Friday night and headed to Taupo to catch up with the boes (and boettes) of the oldschool.co.nz car club at the annual Nationals. While I didn’t manage to make it to trackday I did stick around for the poker run on Saturday, the subsequent cruise, and requisite OTP afterwards. Good times were had by all, and Taupo is great this time of year!

Finally! The end figure after not using all the photos and playing about a bit came to 262. Here’s a quick sample, you can see the rest on the RC flickr;

Just a teaser for now as I have around 4-500 photos to process and I couldn’t bring them all with me on one day as I ran over my USB Flashdrives a while ago…

Stay tuned!
