Default Previous Rides?

Hey all... did a search & couldn't find a thread on this topic; I know it was posted up on former forums though. Always interested to see what members have previously owned as their iron chariot... From past threads on the old forums, I've seen some pretty interesting lists, especially from the older members. One guy had a whole swag of Austin Healeys, Triumph Spitfires, MGB's etc.

Here's mine:

  • 1959 Morris Major 1500 sedan (Now ultra rare)
  • 1975 Ford Cortina L sedan
  • 1969 Fiat type AC coupe (Extremely rare now)
  • 1972 Holden Kingswood 253 V8 sedan (3 on the tree converted to Trimatic)
  • 1970 MGB MkII roadster with Overdrive (Damn, miss this one)
  • 1983 Nissan EXA coupe Turbo (Only new car ever bought)
  • 1971 Toyota Celica TA22, converted by engineer to a soft-top convertible
  • 1975 Toyota Landcruiser SWB wagon with Fairey Overdrive
  • 1984 Holden Commodore VK wagon
  • 1991 Subaru Liberty GX wagon AWD
  • 1984 Subaru L series Touring Wagon 4WD
  • 1999 Subaru Impreza WRX sedan (currently own)
  • 1997 Subaru Outback Limited wagon (currently own)
What's your list? And if you ever owned a Camira or a Leyland P76, be brutally honest

1969 Ford Capri GT (first car, gearbox used to emit smoke when going up hills)
1981 Commodore VC (parents old car)
1996 Commodore VS
2008 Jeep Wrangler (black soft top)
2003 Toyota Echo (wife's car)
2006 Subaru WRX (current car)

There was also an Aprilia RS250 in there as well. Damn thing went like a rocket!

The Capri was really fun to drive, and if I remember correctly it had some sort of Escort engine in it, and extractors in it. I sold it for a $100 and it had absolutely no brakes when it was sold. I also recall that the Capri could be unlocked and started with a pen lid.

1966 HR Holden sedan
1968 Ford ZC Fairlane with built 351 4V
1971 Datsun 1600 L20b stanza 5 spd locked 5.1 final drive
1975 RX4 coupe 13b peripheral port
1986 Ex police VS commonwhore 5ltr
current : 06 WRC CS9

By far the most fun was the 1600 , L20B was heavily modified with a pair of 45m side draft webers.

The sound of the induction noise from the webber carbs was music to my ears.

Many a night sliding around in the mundaring bush tracks.
