the Celica is the true HERO car in the Philippines

it's reputation was cast by two Toyota-built race cars
that was campaigned by one of the more prominent sports figures in Manila

Sir groupb and Sir batosai, I did my research and found out that they're really an iconic car because of the legends that drove them. Knowing this made me more proud owning this ride (even though its a rust bucket). :2thumbs: Thank you sirs!

Sir madds, because I've been daydreaming of another celica for daily use (I love your idea with the diesel engine!) Theres another 1st gen in our local ads (RA29 with bumblebee paint-job) and i want to put a smiley in there. but of course :2cents: is always the problem :))

pards, you have to think a different way-

#1 money is NOT the problem: it is the SOLUTION!

#2 the Celica made Dante and Pocholo famous

and you are right-

one Celica is not enough
