And I brought a couple of Starlets on Tail of the Dragon, which I thought I’d share here. That’s the first one, a 1989 Starlet Turbo R, the Group A homologation special, on eco tires and stock suspensions. Awesome chassis, needless to say I was stoked of driving it again in the states, on such a mythical road.
I also brought a Starlet GT Turbo, much more prepped and ready to face such road, which I’ll post later :)

Doing well, both myself and sales haha... I was in the states to visit my main partner ATL-JDM and spend some time shooting pictures and videos with them. It was fun :)

Flavien! Glad to see you mate, was asking what happened to you awhile ago, haha! Glad all is well and business is good.
Saw this video come up on your channel, but haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, I bet it was a blast! :D
Out of curiosity, do you have any partners in Canada?

Thx, I’m doing good :)
I have someone I work with from time to time, but since I mostly deal with US legal stuff, that’s often out of reach for Canadian buyers and your shitty dollar haha... I’d love to get some 15yo and older cars for the canadian market like Alfa 147 GTA or Impreza WRX Ver6, but the population of the entire country is barely greater than the one of Texas, so that does limit the market quite a bit.

Yeah I knew about the meet, sadly with my schedule there was no way I could have made it. I was there Thursday and Friday, 29th and 30th of August. I left the US on the 4th of September.

* Sad noises* still, thats awesome that you could run it. This was my first time on the dragon and I was blown away by how awesome that road and all the others roads in the area.

I’ve always had a thing for the Alfa 146. Yeah, we have about 38 million people....my whole province (Nova Scotia) has about 1 million....so less than most large cities. :P

Am probably going to bid on this, even though I know next to nothing about these cars (other than they look fun). Any thoughts from an expert? Thanks!

The only thing that a stock one needs is proper suspension... The car is very well balanced and a weapon o n mountain roads! Proper fast and fun. It makes for a good daily also as it’s fairly economical... BaT auctions rarely meet reserve for RHD cars though, so don’t expect this one to sell...
