Once a Camry owner, always a Camry owner.

Hi guys, I'm Cameron,

For nearly 15 years our family car was a 2001 Camry CSi which never let us down until it was totalled in 2015 when it was hit by someone out of control in the rain. So when my own car (a BMW E30) started to die and became a project car, I turned straight to a Camry for a daily and picked up a manual 2005 Sportivo 2.4 with 178,000kms for a really good deal. It was a family car before I bought it, so small scratches, fading and a mismatched door is to be expected, but otherwise it runs really well, minus the horrid Supercat tires on it that chirp at just 2.5k RPM. 

Done about 7,000kms since November and left it completely stock for now, but modifications in the future are definitely going to happen, starting with new front brakes, upgrading to a set of DBA T2 slotted rotors and bendix pads, as well as new bushes all around (which are on their way out according to Pedders), followed closely by a new headunit that I can actually connect devices to.

Throw some Kluger front calipers and rotors in. Direct bolt on, big brake upgrade.

That was my parents 2001 Camry they had for 14 years, written off in 2015 by a red P plater that lost control of their ute going around a corner in the wet, panicked and floored it instead of braking, ramming our car, forcing it up the gutter onto the footpath into a telephone pole and parking sign. Here's the kicker, all they suffered was a broken headlight, but at least they weren't hurt and it was an accident, they weren't trying to drift or anything, just inexperienced.

(Ding in the rear bumper is from a previous excursion my mother had with another reversing driving in a carpark haha)
