Gotta find some pics and scan them! (many of these cars I had before digital cameras were around)

*** 1950 Ford Prefect Ute - grandfathers car passed on to me so technically always seen as my first car and one I will always have and therefore will be my last as well! ***

1) 1979 Volvo (was a hand me down and in the beautiful shade of “Power Buff”)
Damn thing did over 700k’s with the motor reco’ed once!
2) Holden HG Belmont with a 3 on the floor conversion!
3) Subaru wagon about an 83 model!
4) TE Cortina Wagon with the big 6 in it! (crap car with to much torque for itself)
5) 89 Subaru Wagon – non descript serviceable vehicle
6) 2500TC Triumph sedan! (my first Auto just for a change) actually went fairly hard but would give a little skip to the left from the rear when changing from 1st to 2nd under full acceleration! Saw it a couple of years after selling it being driven round with 5 bull dykes in it!
7) VK commodore with a carby black motor and manual box! Probably my most disliked car
8) 1992 MH Barina Auto bought new (was actually my girlfriends car but it was the only car we had for a while and she did become my wife so I include it here)
9) VR Wagon
10) JSII Vectra I have now!

[xplosv57]

you can tell who's had an apprenticeship for a while... lol This is one of those times where I again ask myself, what am I doing at uni? lol

LOL well actually most of those cars i had before i was a mechanic, even before i considered being a mechanic!! Now that i am a mechanic, i don't have the time (or funds for that matter) to get another project car.

I'd rather be at uni, ends up getting you a job which pays alot more, and theres females at uni, something i really miss when i work with a group of guys LOL!!!!

[jerrypufflewell]

1st- 1991 Subaru Fiori 800cc 5spd- Not the quickest but incredibly hard to kill and excellent fun on dirt etc. due to short wheel base


2nd- 1986 ST162 Celica 2L 5spd- Only had it for a week or two then it burnt electrical fault due to dodgy mods by a previous owner.


3rd- 1997 TR Astra City 1.6L- Added driving and fog lights as the stock headlights are fairly ordinary
