Ok so ive got an mk0.6 now:twisted:
Im missing the mk1 but that will have to come later in the year when my girlfriend shifts close(im not gonna be driving 500kms non stop in an mk1 every 2 weeks lol)

Im too lazy to go outside at the moment to take photos of the new beast(plus its cold out side) So you can just put up with the photos i got sent from the guy i bought it from until i can be bothered washing the dust of it and take a couple photos(Went through 2 dust storms in a week)

Here is the 14 year old beast with 255,000km on the clock(ive done about 2000kms in a 10 days or so that ive had it)

Now the money shot(That is oil not rust around the oil cap)

It drives absolutely great and has no problems with anything other then a little bit of wear on the steering wheel, a disconnected window winder and the vent near the window isnt connected to the dash right.

But other then that it was worth the $3000AUDs i got it for and $500 transport and around $100 transfer fee(Im from another state) :mrgreen:

The best parts about it is:
It uses bugger all petrol when im cruising across the country.
Its a comfy cruiser and all the power seems to be right where you need it to overtake
It loves the long sweeping bents and sticks to them well(doesnt like the tight ones as much though:p)
The suspension is spot on for the roads i need to do, its not too hard and not to soft, its perfect :cool:

And the greatest part of all?

The noise it makes when you put your foot down to overtake or just to get somewhere nowhere quicker:drool:
Its so quiet normally but as soon as you torment it it growls and its willy tingling good:twisted:


The worst part?

I dont know if i will be able to pull it apart and take the engine from it because its so good[:(


Well until the end of the year i might just replace and upgrade the interior with parts from the better spec camrys until i work out whats happening with it:beer:

Zip - don't be fooled by the camry's comforts. You do want to put that engine into a MR2
