I love that old Celica! Haven't seen one in the Toronto area for decades! Probably due to our (formerly) harsh winters. When I was a kid in the early 70's my babysitter's brother across the street had one. The shape always reminded me (curiously) of a grain of rice!

I heard that Australia used to get boatloads of fairly recent used cars from Japan due to stringent and costly re-certification rules in Japan after 2 years. Wasn't sure if that was an urban myth. Gotta go there and see for myself. My nephew went to university in Sydney for 6 months recently as part of an exchange program and my brother brought his wife and other kid down for an incredible vacation. It's now on my bucket list.
