Another Icelandic Tercel

[Challenger]

Great to see I´m not the only silly person who drives a 4wd Tercel and actually enjoys it!

I´ve had 3 Tercels that I´ve used as daily drivers for the past 5-6 years. I bought my first one as a cheap winter car. I never imagined that I would grow to love the little ricebucket. All my Tercels are red ´87 4wds with the 6-spd manual. Last winter I drove a 1990 toyota all-trac that my brother gave me. It got fever MPG, lacked the extra-low gear and wasn´t as much fun to drive so I changed back to Tercel last summer.

Here is a picture of my second Tercel. I got it for free and saved it from beeing crushed. It was my daily driver for two years. It still drives but I don´t use it anymore.

Here are two of my Toyota all-trac, with my kayak on top.

Here is a picture of me fixing up my current daily driver. I bought it a few years ago for about 100 dollars. It was also headed for the crusher when I bought it. I just changed the oiles and exhaust and it drives great.

On the 26th of december I drove it 945 km in one day on icelandic narrow, snowcovered roads.

And I just thought I would throw in this picture of an Icelandic 1980´s cop car. I bet no one got away from that one

Hey Challenger, great shots, I love the landscapes especially, Man has Iceland seen some major geographic action! Nice looking car as well

Your winter shots remind me of a movie called "Cold Fever" where a Japanese man drives a Citroen DS across Iceland

Dec 26th huh? I was with my car on a Ferry to Tasmania, 28°C-loverly
