68 hk wagon 161cu of sheer power pumped through the 3 on tree crash box
1963 Ford Consul Cortina 1200cc 4 speed manual. Owned it for a couple of years. Went O.K. for size of engine but no no match for the E.H. Holden 179's and Falcons. Took it down the Bridle Trail at Hill End Sofala one long weekend with a few mates on board. Traded it for a new 68 Holden Kingswood.
My first car was a 93 telster big rims and a banging stereo, my dad came to Australia and bought a xb Fairmont coup with factory 351 his bro had a cobra and his bro in law had a 351 gtho.
Bloody typical wogs lmao I still lol when I see the pics with the mullets and flair cord pants.
cheers stevo.
In the UK. An Austin Cambridge A60 sedan. Not sure what year but think it would have been mid sixties. Scrapped it after breaking a brake bleed nipple off. Getting it fixed was going to cost more than the car was worth!
First car in Australia, in 1987 was a Holden HQ Premier wagon, a '73 model I think, 253 motor & Trimatic auto. Car was named 'Nellie' & was a great car. All sorts of things went wrong with it over the several years we had it, but the electric rear window never failed! Loved the motor & the 'kickdown' on the auto. It limited slip diff took us to places that other non 4wd's couldn't manage. Still think the HQ's are great looking cars.

XF fairmont dumped on its ass, worked straight six, Alpine twin tape/cd player, two 15" subbies, two 8" subbies and more. My car was so low I couldn't get to some places let alone some drive ways. I would knock over a packet of ciggies standing on its side.
NISSAN pulsar sedan - oh well at least it was a Nissan. And a VTR-250 - at least it was a bike!

1975 mini clubman 1100, $900. Gear stick broke off on the way home! Great car, loved it and fully rebuilt it. pulled the motor out myself and had it rebuilt, resprayed and full interior. Wish I had never sold it. A lot of fun!
1985 Toyota Celica. 2.0L carby with the 5 speed manual. It was pretty slow, but the gearbox was awesome!

My first road rego'd car was a 1964 Valiant "S" Type with four wheel drum brakes and push button automatic.
Bought it off the local Holden dealer after my Dad traded it on a 308 HQ Statesman.
Then onto the Torana's, first a nice little mission brown LC four door then an original LC GTR 186, triples (Dual throat strongberg std), 30/70 cam, lowered to the hilt. Woohoo,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, oh where have the years gone my friend,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,
The first car i owned was a 1969 Datsun 1600, loved it and wish i still had it.
First car I legally drove was a HQ Wagon with 3 on the tree, before that when i was about 13 my brother taught me how to drive in a 1948 Morris Minor.
