Just a hole in the carpet lol

Sunroof - Carina Carburettor - Carina Fresh air face ventilation with the heating on - Carina Made before you were born - Carina, Starlet, Yaris, and previous Starlet. Car bought from an Autoshiter - Carina Bought sight unseen - Carina, Starlet Bought without even a photograph - Two Starlets. Collection included flight - Carina 13 if we're adding up cars, 8 otherwise.

I've discovered lately that the paint on a Toyota Carina is far more flammable than it has any real right to be, as is the carpet.
-
Why is there oily smoke coming in through the vents? I FUCKING HOW? The only saving grace is the oil cap didn't end up on the road. Anyone know any decent engine steam cleaners in Dorset?
-
Who made the ball joint out of curiosity?
-
The oil light started blinking on at low revs while creeping forward in traffic, and it turns out what was in the sump was mostly petrol. I've changed it for a tin of Halford 20w50 and it's a lot happier.
-
My aunt drove one 7 miles with no oil pressure and it survived. Never really sounded right again, but it lasted a few more years.
-
Dacia at speed.
-
I'm going via the mountain pass on the other side of Llanberis instead of via Caernarfon this time.
-
I don't really know when I plan on getting there, I'll probably go via Abergavenny and Llanidloes again so it might take quite a while.

My car is usually the oldest in the car park except when one of the higher ups turns up in his T25 camper. Runners up are my manager's K plate LiteAce, a P plate Starlet owned by one of the accountants, and an '02 T4 work van.
-
Hooray, no more anxiously pressing F5 while staring at a blank page. For a minute I was afraid I'd get some work done today!
-
Good for another year, miraculously.
-
I've leased a garage for when the Carina's engine eventually shits itself, I'll have a blue cloud following me up to Shitefest this year...
-
Me too, I'll try to remember the poles and pegs for mine this time...

I'd be happy with either date.
-
You know your rings are bad when oil is collecting on top of your air filter.
-
I want to sell the Starlet and possibly the Yaris, then put another engine into the Carina.
-
Whoops, I got mixed up! In that case, 4A-F powered Avensis... Avensiii must be E10 compatible! Might make them a good source for E10 compatible plumbing for older cars.
-
The fact the only engines listed as being compatible are ones not shared with the Carina E would imply as much. I wonder what they changed when they went over to the AZ engine from the A and S in older cars.
-
@wuvvum for scale.
-
Put me down for a seat as well.
-
Would you mind putting me down for a bacon roll and brew as well?
