Health Question

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Health Question

Post by Greynomad »

If, in a couple of weeks we realise that the Corona Virus is not as serious as we first thought, will it be downgraded to a Corolla Virus? 8-)

I had to put my thinking cap on, Ray, (read Google) - Toyota Tiara was the first Australian made Toyota. At the time, that was said to be a virus that would fizzle out. So from this point forward, the virus will become either a Crown or a Tiara.

Can someone come up with a very small 2 cylinder Toyota that was briefly imported into Australia mid 60's? It was a boxy thing that sounded and drove like a 2 cylinder car. It might have had a 'letter/number' designator rather than a name. If it had followed the Toyota tradition of naming after head adornments, it would have been called the Hairdclip.

Seems like it was sold here as a Toyota 700. Overseas markets had it as a Toyota Publica ( Public Car). Google Toyota 700. Definitely a 2 cyl air cooled motor.

Just had a peek.
Looks like either it inspired the styling of the Lightburn Zeta sedan/3-door or vice versa. :?

As I recall, riding in the Toyota was akin to riding in a Lightburn concrete mixer. There may have been some relationship between the two companies based upon that observation.
