Righto lads and ladettes,
Its time for the skeleton from the closet

What was your first car ???

Dign deep for this one,

Mini panelvan big block 850cc (about 15-16 years young)
Had week or two (unloaded before the lads found out)
Traded it for a MK1 Cortina

First regoed car
LJ Torana
186/5 speed celica box

[Bob]

1962 Morris 850
850cc 4 spd manual devoping 34 bhp @ 8500 rpm
Top speed 75 mph and Fuel consumption was 50 miles per gallon
Ruby Red Looked fast even at 10 mph
I drove this little beast for 60,000 miles . It rather spectacularly expired at 75 mph dropping a valve through the Piston and then breaking the Crankshaft.
Towed it to a Garage in Kyneton and traded it in for a Ford Cortina.

1979 VB Commodore with the original red 202. Slow but super reliable!

It was poo brown too...lol...I looked like the biggest bogan driving this around but it never let me down!

A 1954 VW, had a great heater and that's about it, put some nail holes in the muffler to make it sound cool
Top speed was 90mph down cemetery hill in Cowra, NSW, very scary never did it again.

Mine was a 1983 Austin Metro (UK car) 1300cc 65bhp auto. It was only 9 years old, but as with most Austin cars of the era in the UK (salt!) it was rusted though in many places. Did many bodges on it (I was only 17), in the end the engine was only running on 3 cylinders (out of 4). Still, I sold it for about $600.
As I've got older and my income has increased, I'd like to think I've moved forward, but something has gone wrong because my cars have got older too, culminating in an 19 year old Patrol today. hmmm, how did that happen LOL!!

Oh yeah, I was single back then with no kids!!

The old HJ Kingswood Sedan. Blue with beige vinyl roof. Had custom tailshaft vibration from 60km/h and speakers that could be put on the roof for the tunes while standing on the bonnet to watch the street drags behind Powers Brewery, Yatala. Woohoo they were the days.

1972 TX Gemini. BIG 161 Isuzu motor. Lasted 2 weeks before I wrote it off and moved up to LH Turdrunner

My first car was a 1974 LH Torana SL/R (not a 5000) with a 253 & 4spd.

Man that thing was the ducks guts.

The 253 with a 4 speed was just great, I had a HQ GTS Monaro with the same combination, wow that thing flew.
