This is my baby - 1997 Toyota Caldina GTT. Fairly common in this corner of the world, but I would venture to say it could be the first one posted here?

2l Intercooled Turbo (4th gen 3SGTE)
199kw Factory standard
Full time 4WD
5 speed manual

Location location location? Suffice to say I won't shoot here again, but I was losing light fast, so I made do with what I could find! I also made a cardinal mistake with the driver's side visor... doh!

those wheels sure suit the wagon. the hanging alien is also a bit of a distraction

If you imagine a Celica GT4 / All-Trac but with an estate/station-wagon body fitted, you get a Caldina. I like them, never sold here in the UK, but a handful of private imports have come here.

Yay for a caldina, wish i could get my hands on one. I love my GT4 just the same.

Very nice pictures and love the wheels.

importing cars to the states isn't easy...

ya, the 25 year rule really puts a damper on things or you could go through what the skyline guys went through, i don't think you want to go to jail though.
