ah, as for the little car in my sig, thats the AE86! (oh and I just found out this sig that I made, is a very popular download. I searched thru many galleries and they had this pic too, since I didnt put a name on the pic)
As for availability in europe.. I definetly think it's there, I've seen it in UK club meets. It's a rare find, and I suggest you to just ship one over from japan if you really want it bad.

I know it's the AE86 (I guess that's the iinternational title for it) but we just call it the Corollla.
And I've seen the vid that your avtar is taken from. That's when I got my eyes up for the car. They beat the crap out of it in one of the Touges in Best Motoring. MAN that car can drift AND rev like a montsercar images/smilies/eek.gif

Well, Mike is from Vancouver (as I am too), and I think you'd be suprised how many awesome imports there are here. There is an absolutely massive import scene in Vancouver - and it helps that cars like the Corolla aren't rare at all.

Actually, no more than a few years ago it was extremely easy to find a Corolla GT-S in great shape in Vancouver for just a few grand (Canadian). But as soon as people started to catch on about how great of a car it was, all the cheap ones got snagged instantly and the remaining ones' prices got jacked way up. However, you can still find tonnes of great imports that people haven't quite caught on to yet.

It's getting quite common to see RHD cars here in Vancouver too. A lot of people in the import scene are importing cars from Japan now - it's not even that uncommon for me to see Skyline's here anymore (R32s and older though, not anything newer). Seeing any Skyline anywhere else in Canada would be incredibly rare.

Yay for Vancouver! images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Skylines, Evos and tons and tons of Subarus over here. It's really quite good sometimes. It's just a shame all the asians own them as they end up being modded up and have tons of shitty decals on em. Stock is the only way (apart from engine tune ups, naturally images/smilies/wink.gif)

I saw my first one (an R34 GTR, which was truly amazing) about three years ago driving down Main St. in Vancouver. Since then, I've seen probably between 15-20 different Skylines. They're still quite nice to see, but I don't really make a point of going over and looking or snapping a picture unless it's a GTR. I'm still waiting to see another R34 GTR though - they're still ridiculously rare. images/smilies/smile.gif

I really don't know! images/smilies/wacko.gif

I look at them side by side and I can clearly see that the R34 looks the better of the two, but for some reason I just want to get inside the R33. Perhaps it's my Gran Turismo nostalgia senses kicking in! images/smilies/tongue.gif (Horray for Mine's)

Oh, I've got a song stuck in my head. It's from the 6th episode(2002-11-24, the episode where they nick Jeremy's SL55).

The song is featured quite a bit in the episode, it's prominently played during the two Stig's laps(1:36-1:44 and 53:23-53:36).

It's also played during episode 9(2002-12-22, the episode where they cook things on car engines for the chef guest star) in the Subaru Forester review at around 22:23-22:40.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry about that, I read the FAQ and it told me to post here if the topic wasn't available on the music forum.

Guess I forgot to see the topic below that one...

^Check the various FTP's that are up and running in the Video Offers section of the forum. They would most likely have what your looking for.
