I've had my 33 year old Gen 5 since 1997 - so 29 years! I still love it to bits and drive it regularly, including the Celica Rally Drives in N Wales twice a year ☺️.

There is an amazing opportunity to meet Nicky Grist with his rally Celica, WRC 12 wins behind him, on both Friday 6th November for a Rally Forum and Q&A, and Saturday 7th November at Prescott Hillclimb near Cheltenham, Glos for Rallye Prescott. I have arranged Celicas to be displayed together for the Rally Saturday, and also for a Parade Lap for some Celicas with a Rally heritage to drive Behind NIcky Grist up the hill. If interested, go to Meetings Forum and read all about these events! Time is of the essence, so sign up quickly! I need to give car and drivers' details to Prescott next week.

One in a local pub car park this week. I love the shape of the tree

Sounds an interesting concept!

That car may well belong to club member Stuart64.... Stuart, if you're reading this, please update us

If you would like to take your car to one of the prestigious national car shows and display it on our stand, take a look at the various shows coming up this year at which we will be present. There are two coming up in May and we would love you to sign up as soon as possible so that we secure the maximum number of display vehicles. Your car does not have to be immaculate by any stretch of the imagination!!! Your presence, company and car make for a fun day 😊 JapShow at SantaPod Sun 10th May JDM Combe at Castle Combe Circuit Sat 30th May Take a look in Meetings forum https://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/index.php?/forum/3-meetings/

Well done both of you for making the trip of a lifetime. Sounds like a fantastic experience!

Monkey Boy 1 - your new challenge please??

Every year we attend a number of brilliant national car shows and have a Celica Club stand for members to display their cars. There is info about several of these shows for you to sign up to in the Meetings Forum section https://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/index.php?/forum/3-meetings/ The tickets for JapShow and JapShow Finale are available for Club Members to buy at the heavily discounted Winter Saver price until 31st January - so don't delay if you want to save some money!! Club Display tickets will still be available after this date, but costing a bit more.

Thanks for reminding everyone

Yep - John had the flares and moustache, I had the Farrah Fawcett-Majors hair

I completely missed this earlier, well done on a successful photoshoot! How exciting to be a part of the event and see the whole process through to the production of the magazine. We will look out for it this week. We had a black Capri JPS with the gold lines and gold wheels back in the late 1970s until 1981. Wish we had it now - it was a great headturner in the 1970s! I think it's only looking back now that we all appreciate so many of these iconic cars . Great to see yours looking so good!
