nighttime wandering...

 shinya tried to put a new wheel on.

飽きもせず緑カー、新しいホイールをひとつ履かせてみる。

 put all wheels on and went out for a test ride.

いい感じなので、全部履かせて夜のテストドライブ決行。

azusa canyon in orange.

とりあえずアズサ山、蜜柑色。

 grabbed some tiger tails

お約束ドーナツマンでタイガーテールを手に入れる。

at the "hat"...
no, it's not what you think.
just parked the green car and took a picture 
there. no pastrami sandwiches, no onion rings
no chili cheese fries, no heartburn.

まさか・・・ドーナツ後にハット行っちゃうの?あの鬼オニオンリング?
と期待しちゃった方には残念ですが、行きませんよ。
緑カーを停めてパチリ。



 
found something lighting up in a dark 
shopping plaza.

 暗いショッピング・プラザの一角に浮かび上がるもの発見。







 creepy...

薄気味悪い。

sorry...got sidetracked by wigs....shinya...cortina looks good...i had gt mark 1 with original minilights....magnesium alloy....lots of holes....were falling apart...and only 13inch...your are better i think..

matt machine said...

sorry...keep remembering things...does it pop out of second gear on de-celleration?.

Very creepy.
The donut shop I mean... ;-)

The shape of the Cortina reminds me of a Triumph Dolomite, which is odd, because they are totally different...

Need some sleep, I guess.

im laughing because i might be scared...oh the wigs and the heads..i have trauma from that kind of stuff but the car looks FANTASTIC and so do the tires or the rims or whatever you call them...yeah right another late night light meal aye? just kidding....i can only eat at the hat once a year because its just too much!

i was going to say go for 'minilites', but then i figured maybe not very available on that side of the pond.

also, that would be 'teaching my grandmother to suck eggs'; shinya san scores another hole in one, wheels look fie.

Creepy shop indeed! I like the new wheels (Turbovecs or similar?) but I'd love to see the car on some Lotus Cortina wide steels and hubcaps, be lovely against that green paint

The Gaijin said...

hooo the wheels look great!

matt machine: it has cross ratio 5sp mission so it doesn't pop out of second gear on de-celleration.

Alfred: different but they are both sheepwolf kinda car!

shellie: one of the heads was a real head! hehehe

59: i like minilites but 70% of cortinas are wearing minilites...

magnumleigh: these are "vector". i agree with the Lotus wide steel idea but 29% of cortinas are wearing them...

Gaijin Engineering: thank you. i wanted to be the 1%.

matt machine said...

so your a 1% ter shinya!
