Paul Smyrski: 1997 Toyota Aristo
Paul Smyrski had his eye on the 1997 Toyota Aristo for a few years as he travelled across Canada and saw a number of right-hand drive cars on the road. Many of which were the same style but very few of this particular model. Smyrski has now owned the Aristo for 2 years and added many tasteful modifications.
