Gee, I sure wish I had the hindsight to have kept...
In those days, car yards along Parramatta Road were full of dealers. Usually, I'd be heading straight to the back, where the models I could afford where kept...

Different world today.

First car was a Honda Civic.

I always wanted a Mini Minor growing up.

My first beast. Dad bought it for me for $50.
That thing would go anywhere a basic 4wd would go. Flywheels were really heavy like a lot of early British bikes n cars so the motor would just putt over. All you had to do was keep momentum going.

I had a mint green Morris Minor 1300 and loved it. Leather interior with wood grain dash lots of quirks but rode like a dream. Just a bit small so moved on to a Torana

First car i ever owned was mine after 5 year repayments. I learnt after that.

88 Telstar tx5. Rough as, lowered with body kit and extractors. Old mate wanted $4000 back in 2000. Dad offered 2500 and he took it. Had 225ks and put 40k on it without a worry until it got shortened by some mug in a hq changing the radio station…lucky no one was in the back.

Ford escort panel van, and yes I rolled it.

I also owned a Mini panel van after the escort. The Mini was a bit hard to stretch out in, but I just loved a small dutchy.
