Mine isn’t too extensive:
1981 Honda XL250 silver tank. Jeez did I have some adventures on that bike as a young fella.
1981 Datsun Stanza SSS. First car. Mags, spoiler, leaky sunroof and white letters on the outside of the tyres. Gutless as shit. 0-100 in 30 seconds. Loved it!
1989 Honda Transalp XL600VH. Lived on this thing for 3 years and did the big lap on it 1995-1998. Still in the shed.
1985 Mazda 929. Had air con! Had auto! Had velour seats! Luxury! Was the biggest heap of shit.
1973 Holden HQ panel van. Rough as guts. 253 on gas. Many an outback adventure. Couldn’t kill it. Sold to a wrecker for $200.
2001 VX Commodore. Great car.
2001 Nissan Patrol Y61 TD42T. Best car I ever owned BAR NONE!! Took me places I could only dream of and brought me home again. Multiple times. Factory stock standard under the bonnet. Never broke down. Never overheated. Worked hard. Towed hard. Pulled like a mule. Was just a hard bastard. Unfaultable. Still in love with it. I miss it.
1989 Honda CBR1000F. Pure touring carbureted road bike. Uncomfortable below 130kmh. Above that, dream bike.
2016 Ford Territory RWD Barra motor. Current daily and a great car. Barra motor is superb.
2022 Nissan Patrol Y62. My road warrior. Haven’t built it up to tour yet. Excellent car but not without its niggles. Motor is bloody superb.

Mine is very short as well:

Gone: 1998 Fiat Palio EDX 1.0, 4 cil, 60hp, petrol. Very, very good on fuel economy. Just what a responsible young fella looking to get married needed. Sold.
Gone: 2000 Volkswagen Saveiro Summer 1.8, 4 cil, 100hp original on petrol, later turboed to 180hp on pure ethanol. This is a car based UTE. Already married, would take our bikes on trips and no spare seats! Sold.
Gone: 2004 Honda Civic EX VTEC 1.7, 4 cil, 130hp, petrol. My first automatic. All of a sudden we needed more seats! The best city/road car I have ever had. Sold to buy bricks and tiles for a new home.
Gone: 1992 Suzuki Samurai Metal Top 1.3, 4 cil, 60hp, carburated, petrol. My first 4x4, leaf springs suspension. Sold due to its carburetor being a b!tch.
Current: 1997 Suzuki Samurai Canvas Top 1.3, 4cil, 67hp, EFI (single injector), petrol. My happy, fun and trustful daily driver since 2004. 20 years taking me to places on and off road and still counting. Over this 20 years has gone through experiments with different types of tires, several lunchbox diff lockers, suspension lifts, etc, to later find peace in a custom 4-link, 33x10.5 narrow BFGs, diff ratios to match, chromoly shafts and CVs, ARB lockers front and rear, reduced gears on the transfer.
Gone: 1997 3rd gen Toyota 4Runner SR5 3.4, v6, 180hp, petrol. My second (and last) automatic. Great family SUV, roomy and comfy. What a great engine that 5VZFE is. Sold to follow a dream, an immaculate 2nd gen 4Runner.
Gone: 1994 2nd gen Toyota 4Runner SR5 2.4, 4 cil, 110hp, petrol. Gutless but reliable-last-longer-then-the-car 22RE engine. Sold to follow a bigger dream, a rare in Brazil Toyota LandCruiser.
Current: 2005 105 series Toyota LandCruiser 4.5, 6 cil, 200hp, petrol. Barebones, white military agency spec. Manual windows, manual box, manual/lever-action transfer, manual hubs. Powerful, silk-smooth 1FZFE engine. I love this car. Gets the job done anytime, anywhere. My family undisputable choice for road trips.
Current: 1997 Y60 Nissan Patrol SGL-D 4.2, 6 cil, 116hp, diesel. My first diesel, my first full restoration project. Having this car down to nuts and bolts in a bucket got me to truly admire the Patrol engineering, robustness, design. My wife keeps telling me that this is a very "macho-looking-square-lined" beautiful design any angle you look at it. After 5 years restoring it, it is very close to become my daily.
Current: 2006 Y61 Nissan Patrol GL 4.5, 6 cil, 200ish hp, petrol. Barebones, white military agency spec with a nice upholster from the previous owner. Legendary GU! Legendary axles! Absolutely gorgeous design, 10x better looking than my 105 with the only drawback being the engine. It is fun and torquey bellow 2k RPM but after that I miss my 1FZFE. And it drinks more than the 1FZFE as well. I come to imagine that is what 12 valve vs. 24 valve is all about. I can only imagine what a TB48 with its 24 valves would feel!

1995 VS Commondoor. Executive. Loved that car, being my first. Like a first true love! But it was the biggest lemon I've ever heard of. Everything that could leak, did! Those Ecotec motors back then were horse manure!

2006-2010
2003 Magna TL. Amazing car. Done soooo much travelling around with it and it never ever gave me a single bit of grief!

2010-2013
D22 Navara. My first 4x4 which I bought just because I wanted a dual cab ute. I never intended to go off-road , nor camping etc... That changed very quickly into this...


2013-2015
2009 GU Y61 - Great car which really gave me a proper off-road experience in contrast to the D22 (no more torsion bars!!). It had intermittent issues which never got solved. I sold it to a workmate who put it through hell and back and still kept on keeping on! Even to this day.

2015-current
2005 GU TD42. Probably the greatest car I've owned and know of. Seriously. Just add diesel and away we go! Love this car. It's an absolute slug... But I drive it that way!

1991-1993'ish : 1967 VW 1600 Wagon

1993'ish to 1974 : HQ Kingswood Wagon, with a Statemnen Caprice front with a worked 253 V8 running a Gas Research Gas system, smashed it, some idiot does a right hand turn in front of me whilst im doing 80kph, I wrapped their car up, with 4 occupants, like tin foil.

to :1976? HJ Sandman Panelvan. Stupidly sold this to a mate for next to nothing and then he destroyed it.

to : 1978 HX Panelvan, worked 308 V8, fully decked out rear, GTS front, guards, dash and interior. Looked mint this one. Dumbass me sold it for next to nothing again.

to : 1970's XB Falcon sedan, bought for $200. So comfy to drive. Stripped it and sold most for parts.

to late 90's maybe : 1984 MK Shorty, Anniversary edition. Meaning, factory front suspension seats, full cloth interior, the rear canopy which is normally just white fibreglass shell, was a metal shell color coded to the rest of the car, this also had a nice roof lining. 2inch lift, 2inch body lift, front and rear ARB bar, twin locked and the good old SD33T. I loved this car so much but sold it due to building our first house and needed extra funds. BIGGEST regret ever selling this thing.

Around 2001 : 1980's XF falcon, paid $500. Drove it and killed it.

Big gap for 10 years or so due to having a company car.
Mid 2012 : 2001 GUII Patrol to which i still own now.

Hey mate. Spotlights are ARB branded IPF Xtreme Sport from memory with blue lens covers. They used to be the bees knees back then amongst some others like LightForce etc..
