Even though it was a rainy day, I went to a Cars and Coffee in one of the neighbouring towns. I took several photos, but forgot to take one of mine. The Trueno is obscured by the enormous Rolls in front of it:

The Trueno got a lot of attention today as a large portion of the crowd were driving MX5s and Nissan Micra K11s.
The Starlet is one of 4 original Starlets remaining that were used in the Starlet Cup driven on the Zandvoort circuit. The car is even on original B-registration, which means it used to be registered as a company van in the 1980s. Big Grin

The battery held up fine, and it was so nice to have an engine that fires up immediately! I don't remember the car ever firing up this instantly before. Hurray!

About the sticky rear brake issue: I think I found the issue. I did feel the wheels after the drive to the garage. The right-side rear one was warm (not hot), and the right-side front one was cold. I only drove about 10 kilometres in total, so that was much less than last time and last time they were really hot. (getting painful touching the wheels)
I usually drive to the garage, put the car in neutral and on the handbrake while I leave the engine running. Today, I deliberately didn't put the car on the handbrake before reversing into the garage and the rear brake wasn't stuck. So, the rear brake isn't the issue. My conclusion is that my rear bearings are most likely due for replacement.
