Hunting Parts for a Kujira Crown
After owning a 1971 MS60 for a few years now, I can tell you one thing: It’s been pretty damn near impossible to find spare parts for it. After spending countless hours trying to find parts overseas on the internet (because there were almost none advertised in Thailand even last year) that I could afford […]
In Daddy’s Crown
Wouldn’t it be cool if Max learned to drive in my daily driver? Manual steering, manual gearbox, manual windows, hell it even has optional (as in factory option) non-retractable seatbelts!
More Crown History
I got a mail out of the blue today from the previous previous owner of the Kujira Crown I bought last year: I owned the Crown before you bought it off Chris. Thought you might like to hear how I came (although it was in my wifes name ) to be the proud owner of […]
Toyopet Kujira Crown CM
It took a while, but I found a Japanese commercial for my car on YouTube: You think that’s seventies bad? Here’s a bonus video to remind you of the timeframe: /////////////////////// What were you driving/doing back then? (Waiting for a steam locomotive? Skipping gaily through stacks of hay in a dried-out rice paddy?)
Matisyahu – King Without A Crown (Live)
Wow, that’s pretty dope. But I’ll see your violin/turntables and raise you a Hasidic reggae genius: This live version is actually better than the album one.
1971 Toyota “Kujira” Crown S60
I need another car – just a reliable beater to convey me around town – since I want Nam to drive the Cefiro (and its newfangled safety features) when we move to the new house. The new house is within walking distance of my university, but I need something for rainy days and whatnot. I […]
Mitsubishi Triton for Sale
I love this truck and it’s actually been my only vehicle with twin 12″ subs, but daddy needs a minivan. The truck is registered in Bangkok, but is currently in Maha Sarakham, Thailand. It is a 2013 model. The engine is the 2.4 petrol version that runs on 91 gasohol or E20. I bought the […]
It’s nice having a truck
Someday, I will make a list all of the vehicles I have owned over the years. A truck has never been among them, until recently. After our neighborhood and my precious Crown was flooded in 2022 (the Crown is sitting at my mechanic’s place, waiting for me to save enough money for a proper restoration), […]
Celica GT
I found this beauty at one of my go-to breakfast places in town – it doesn’t serve breakfast food specifically, but it’s open from early, so you can eat whatever they make from the early morning all day. I usually order several bags of curry, stir fries, soups, and desserts to take home. But hey, […]
