My Car

 

*Update* : Fresh photos available by clicking here.

As my friends would know, I absolutely love driving. At the beginning of 2008, I acquired a 2007 model Toyota Aurion. This was a replacement for my old 1991 Camry which was handed down to me from my Mum. It was a shame to see it go since it had been in the family since 1992 and I have driven many kilometres in it. Nevertheless, it was time for an upgrade, and the Aurion was my car of choice.

This car is seen around the Brisbane area, and it is recognised as mine due to personalised plates saying "DJKOR". If you are an owner of a Toyota as well, you should come over to the Toyota Owners Club Australia. I'm a member there and the forums are quite friendly and helpful. Anyways, more about my car.
