EK Holden Sedan... wasn't a thing on it you couldn't fix with either a 1/2 by 9/16th Spanner, Screwdriver, Garden Hose, Vice Grips or 2 feet of Fencing wire.
Blew a head gasket out shooting... drove it back to Wagga with the cap off the radiator and a garden hose into the cabin. We drove along and kept topping up the water from a supply of Coke Bottles (real ones scabbed on the side of teh road) via the hose and topped up ourselves from the slab in case we ran outa water and had to use.. well.. you can imagine it can't ya
Snapped off the gear lever... (Racing changes in a column shift aren't pretty when your pissed)... Vice Grips
Crappy fuel (I was an apprentice so clean fuel from a bowser was a luxury)... strip clean and reassemble the Carby (about 15 minutes)
Gears? Optional, only ever had all 3 until the Sat Night Drags Racing Change incident (stupid Hillmans) after that it was a lottery but could usually find 2
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
How cool is that!

1964 Mk1 Cortina, paid 90 bucks for it, it was painted Mission Brown house paint with the proverbial 6" brush. I called it Shake Rattle and Roll... coz thats what it did down the road. Had it for 3 months the front left wheel fell off (loose wheel nuts... who woulda thort...) so I traded it on a 10yr old HG Kingswood, that was a very tidy 1 owner car... was! 14 mths later it was a wreck, every 4 wks (and almost to the day) something would happen to it... ahhhh them were the days LOL.
Some people are like Slinkies… not much good for anything but, they bring a smile to your face when pushed down stairs.
After that post it got me thinking how many cars have I had... so after writting them down and adding it up, if i haven't forgotten any, i've had 23 cars in 30yrs... still got 2 of them
