[QUOTE="rollakid, post: 2054449, member: 6588"] lol din notice this thread back then... okay here's mine: In december 1981, just 1 month before the KE70 GL came out, my dad bought the last batch of DX square eye ke70, which is only on sale for 1 year, before that is the 4 round eyes one. *zip squeak~ zip zip~ squeaaak~* (fast forward) July 1985, i'm born. As far as i can remember, i grow up with that very same KE70 i am driving now, I still have some of the pics when i'm about 2-3 years old that my dad took of me riding my tricycle around the car porch near the car. The car back then is all standard, with its steel 165/70/13 wheel and tires.
