Hello from Australia here.

I am a 25 year old guy who makes money by managing an electronics store, and owning a small business...and spends it on my toys.

I've owned 14 cars now, but the past 5 have been all Toyota and all fun.

I bought a st185 celica which I turned into ashow pony, then while I had that I bought another, this time a Carlos Saintz edition for some dirty fast fun.

Then I decided on more of a gt car, so I bought myself a 1995 sw20 gt (top spec in aus) mr2 that was as new, with less than 60,000km and all original. With the plan of keeping it stock. That lasted awhile, before I started modifying it using trd and toms items, with a smattering of other things.

Unfortunately that car came to meet a kangaroo on the highway so I bought a 1986 aw11 mr2. By the end it had too many mods to list, including a highly worked ae101 sc engine. Basically only the chassis was standard when I was done with it.

I sold it, and bought a 1986 Toyota hilux surf. Which I have modified for camping, including snorkel, locker and LSD, custom tent roof rack, tent, Spotties, etc, etc.

I now use it mostly for my business, so I decided that an 86 would be a good way back to the sporty side of fun.

I have on order a storm black mt gts. And I HOPE to have it before end of year, though it's more likely coming early next...

My plans will be to keep it stock for a while (at least until it is out of warranty), then if I modify it, it will be done using trd bits where possible.

Looking forward to it so much...I even go in for 'test drives' when the wait gets too much, lol..
