This weeks ebay picks ...

Whilst looking through the random classic cars on ebay UK ( Trabant wanted ... shhh , don't tell anyone ;-) ) I came across this low mileage Honda Accord series 1 in lovely beige and brown combo crying out for a mild drop and some rare JDM alloys and also this Toyota Century which would make an awesome VIP retro cruiser .

So Heres one For You

All the way from the "MINI truckin" site an American touch to a Jap Van and from Japan a new Jap van with an american touch?

This thing ain't new ya know

Many people may think that it's only recently that the japanese 'tuning' scene has flourished but that's a load of kakapoo ! America's 'Hot Rod' magazine had a few articles on they're project Toyota way back when it was a new car .
