Man.. some of you kids go through cars like I go through underwear !

hahah first car was borrowed spec 1985 4 spd Ford Laser... was in pristine condition when mum first bought it. I half killed it. Then I got new car.. LAser was given to brother... he fully killed it and it ended being taken away for scrap yard or some shiz after it got a yellow sticker whicih had no hope of coming off !

then had n14 SSS Pulsar.. did DET conversion which ended in tears. Sold that and bought Candy .. 2000 WRX Wagon.. which I love!

My good ol Ford Meteor (86) was sold back in the day after I lost my license, and blowing my gearbox (which I couldn't tell as the stereo was louder than the noise it was making) & head gasket after doing too much hard driving. Sold it at an absolute bargain price of $700. Probably still on the road, as it was such a tough little car. Wish I still had it, good memories from that car :-(

First car in 1993 was an 1967 Izuzu Bellet ("The unit") which was in such good nick it still had plastic on the rear door linings. That car went places and did things it was not designed to do and became legendary with my mates as the can-do vechile for surf trips. Gave it to a mate in 2002 when I left for Japan and he blew the head gasket a month later. Great car, shitty drum brakes.

My first car was a white GTR-XU1 torana hahaha, which my older brother gave to me. It looked identical to this red one in the pic except the rims were different.

The glove box was signed by Peter Brock and the car was immaculate, showroom condition. I LOVVVEDDD that car. Manual, no power steering
THEN I snapped the clutch cable one night and from then on in it turned into a "bad luck" car…nothing was going right with it it overheated another time and I almost cracked the head on the engine, also had a fuel leak so the fumes were getting too my head (Im not a mechanic remember ) Another night in bad wet weather my windscreen wiper just went flying off. Then that same night my friend crashed the car into a wire that connects to the power poles he payed to get it fixed but it just wasn't the same after that.
So we sold that car to someone NOR. And now I have my ahh subigrl which will depart me soon YAYYY (Also Going from a non-power steering car to power steering was fantastic) haha.

Annndd that's part of my life story.

1. EA Ford Fairmont Queer, I mean GHIA in bronze! Had the front visor. Comfy cruiser. Many fun times had in this car.

2. 1984 Mazda 323 - Bought this for $100 and sold it for the same. Did wicked hand breakies and key bangs.

3. 2002 Nissan 200SX (S15) Spec S GT. Miss this car today and will miss it forever. I was foolish to get rid of it. Was a mint car and being yellow it stood out like dogs balls. Was tastefully modified, FMIC, exhaust, ebc, pod and went like the clappers. Sold it to a mate of mine for a profit and he's still driving it to this day.

4. 1999 Subaru WRX. Was a fun car but stayed stock for my time of ownership (18 months)

5. 2002 Subaru WRX STi. Nice car, fun to drive. Only mods so far is TBE. Sucks the juice but I love my liftkit!

First car was an 86 Corolla sedan. Mates loved it at leavers. Motorcycle smashed it in april 2004, written off pretty much. It's now sitting somewhere in lynwood/parkwood where i *had* planned to strip everything and sell the parts. Never eventuated.

Second car was an 85 Corolla hatch. Absolutely loved the car. Probably should have had the canon on it removed but my god that car was awesome. Afaik, the mate i sold it to still has it.... though hasn't got his license yet :|

Now i'm on to my 1995 Mica Green WRX and loving it. Though i'm looking towards the future as an 03 owner i think. Will have to wait and see!
