Purple 1995 Ford Festiva

Blue 1978 Ford TE Cortina

Early 80's Beige Sigma.

1972 Datsun 180B - safari yellow (more like baby poo brown). Took a 1973 Celica for a test drive that week. Fat tyres - Canary Yellow - went like a rocket. The old man wouldn't let me buy it (since he was paying for it). Hated the Datsun... heap of ■■■■■. It started to fall apart 3 months after I'd bought it. Went out for takeaway pizzas one night and had my arms full trying to carrying them so I nudged the door shut. The door dented and the window fell out. Once I tried to get it over 140kmh on the gippsland freeway. Got it up to speed and the muffler fell off and the fan belt broke. Had it a year. 

First car was a hand me down: a 1980 Sigma with the 2L engine. 

First car I bought was a 1987 AE82 Corolla Twin-Cam hatch. 

1984 Alfa Guglietta, silver. Wood grain steering wheel and gear stick.
Loved it! Only issue I had was the starter motor.

1980 Alfa GTV, ferrari farking red, black leather interior.

 

Loved it too, had it for 10 years, second gear would crunch a little bit.

1st car was my folks' old 1980 Toyota Carona. Maroon (but brown on the rego). 1.9L 4cyl based on a cut down 6 apparently. Floated like a boat. Still managed to clock it at over 180km/h coming down a big hill on the way back from a trip to Victor Harbour. Used to work on the car alot myself. I had the drivetrain that tight it chirped into 3rd.

 

First car I bought was a fully sick VL - manual, with the RB20 geqarbox. Cammed, extractors/exhaust, and all the other go fast bits. Wasn't turbo, but still dragged of VN SSs.

 

Surprised I'm still alive actually.

First car, a 1972 Giulia Super (Alfa Romeo), sent me on a path of Alfa collecting. Now up to 5 including Giuliettas, Gtvs, and spiders. Lots of fun and lots of repairs.

Must have been an Alfa thing.

1980 XD Falcon.

Red, with big Fark off mags and an in built cop magnet

White EL Falcon. Sports Suspension, mags. Used to be a fleet car and had about 300k kms on it. Every ■■■■■■ abnormality in the road felt like you were driving over the grand canyon. No balls whatsoever. Sold it after a year and the engine blew up within a month of the new owner.

 

Except mine was a bit lower. sik sik sik bro cuh cuh.

Had a choice between

1983 - red and black corolla

Late 70’s/ early 80’s - metallic green V8 panel van

The corolla was adequate, but should’ve taken the van instead.

Datsun 1200  - lime green colour

 

Could do a 100kms on the smell of a petrol fume.

Green 1977/78? Ford Cortina. 6 cylinder 3.3L. Lost my license in about 3 months.
