Your first car

[timmy_crabb]

first car was a dihatsu charade. a 3 cylinder turbo. mums b/f had a new 98 vt gts an said your mad, let me out. told mum it was a pocket rocket, and dangerous (can't remember if it was the car or me that was dangerous) second car a vk commo to a 91 laser. my current car is a (brought new and owned for two years) 2005 subaru impreza wrx. the subi including on roads, all the extras, and inurance (im only 25 now) almost costed $55 thou. worth every penny and pis#$@ all over commos and fords.

I think you are talking about the 4 cylinder Magnas, they have a terrible reputation.

quote: Yeah our V6 Magna has only done 260,000 k's so far and still runs like a dream. The mistake was that I didn't buy one sooner -boa

Man you got lucky, shoulda brought a tattslotto ticket with it.

 

[jessop]

yeah thats the one boa! what year/model is your current mitsi?

 

[Retic]

We have a '96 Executive. We were going to sell it as we have 2 nearly new vehicles but the Magna is on LPG and recent events have persuaded us to keep it a bit longer. The 4 cylinder version is a waste of time.

yeah thats the one boa! what year/model is your current mitsi?

My first car was a 1970 datsun 240z with a 280z motor. had it for 2 yrs before it was pinched and stripped by some lowlife SOBs .

 

[timmy_crabb]

my old man give me a toyota corona for a trade. i brought a dihatsu charade. it was a 3 cylinder turbo. mums b/f said your mad, let me out(by the way he owned a new 98 hsv vt gts). he told mum its a pocket rocket, and it did nearlt fly! i went to a vk then a 91 laser. my current car was brought new 2yrs ago (i was 23yo). its a MY05 subaru impreza wrx. the thing is crazy. it takes the p!ss out of commos and fords.

My first was a '73 corolla sludgeamatic, ripped that out for a 5 speed. Then some mild engine work. Great little car, took an ablsolute hammering. Then had a HJ Holden and then a mustang celica. Worked over the 2 litre but still not enough grunt. Dropped in an injected twin cam turbo, more than doubled the power, made V8s look like a flintstones car for a few years... Also had a few company cars as well, such as VR, VS commodores, Bitsashitti Magnas, Suzuki Grand Vitara. Now use the missus company cars so makes fuel consumption quite good....;-)

Had a '88 holden astra (1.8L model) for almost six years. Bought it for $2700 in early 2000 had a wrecker pick it up in May this year it still ran but had no speedo for the past year and I am surprised I never have been booked.

Recently I aquired a '99 Suzuki Grand Vitara that will hold me in good stead for driving on beaches towing boats and shifting large reptile enclosures around.

I never got to drive my first car.

My then boyfriend worked at a car yard and it was bought in as a trade. It was a mini, ex post office, brick red station wagon. Starter button on the floor and all.

I was due to sit my licence the day after my birthday and he picked me up on the night of my birthday and we went out for dinner in my new car, which I wasn't allowed to drive until I had my license. I loved it, it was so small and cute.

Anyway, after dinner, he dropped me home and he wrote it off between my place and his place. I was heartbroken.

After that came:

XC Ford Falcon Panel Van
Valiant Ranger XL wagon
Chrysler Drifter Panel Van
Valiant Ranger XL Sedan
Honda CBX250 (bike)
Toyota Landcruiser FJ45
Toyota Landcruiser HJ60
Honda CBR600 (bike) - still have
Nissan 4WD Ute - still have

(I actually have a tendency to collect cars and always seem to have a minimum of 2 at any one time - I had the XL Wagon, Drifter, XL Sedan and CBX all at once, rego was killing me, but how could I pass up all those classic cars )

I had one of my Cortina mk1's, my mini panelvan, datsun 1600, falcon XB sedan and a Honda SR250 all at once.
What was kinda scary is that there was rarely more than one of them going at a time.

but how could I pass up all those classic cars

[nvenm8]

mine was a ford xa falcon, i paid $430 (the entirity of my first tax return). Best car i ever owned, i ended up putting a 289 V8 in (replaced the six) .We did things and went places i that should never have got away with. Aaah the recklessness of youth :wink: :twisted: :twisted:

 

[Wrasse]

Magpie, all of mine were running. All of them were street legal. Walking out to the driveway each morning and deciding which one to run for the day was a chore, life can be hard sometimes.

Azztech, read the first and second sentences above. Thank you.

The Honda is a CBR600f3. 1997.
