Thanks for the new wallpaper!

Call me kooky, but i'd rather have the "Safari" prepped ST185 behind it. That is the "Zombie Celica" that is so popular on the internet. This thing was built to pound through ANYTHING.

well, the celica resto made me weep from all the awesome, but youre right, zombie destroyer Celica is pretty B.A. too. I cant make up my mind

Are all top level rally cars left hand drive? I've been watching WRC but cant recall...

Check out footage of the Safari Rally and Rally Kenya with this thing in it. There's one great shot of it going through mud so deep that it was going over the roof. When it comes out of that wave of mud, it REALLY looks like an undead Celica rising up from earth to reap a few souls.

This thread is now about awesome rally Celicas:

SOULS!!!!!!!!!

Yes they are.

You will see some top end cars in the British and Irish Rally Championships and some in Asia that are RHD, but almost all of the top cars are ex-WRC stuff and they are almost exclusively LHD.

funny, just the other day I was remembering ( ignore my english, i'm not from an english speaking country - Ireland!) a couple of old Celicas in the village of Swatragh sporting simple plain Marlboro liveries - apparently a dealer option back in the eighties. Personally, I kinda hated Quattros and Grp B, beautiful as the cars were they were too big fast for Irish lanes. Much preferred rwd n/a Escorts, Mantas, Chevettes, Sunbeams etc.

I'll take one of the Zombie Celica's please.

That picture rocks!

You can almost hear it snorting, popping and growling as it powers out of the mud.
