From the top:
1971 Triumph 2000 auto sedan, white with red trim. Cheap first car. Loved it and want another one as a project! Sold it for parts as the shell was twisted.
1983 VH Commodore SL wagon 3.3 auto, white with blue cloth. Bought it off first owner, probably paid more then really worth. Had around 300,000km with nothing wrong, until I popped the diff. Hated dirt roads and drank more then a workmates 351C XC! Traded it for:
1997 Mazda 121 Metro 1.3 manual, green with brown trim. First new car, as a 3rd year apprentice mechanic! Great fun. Thought it was a 4wd with where it went, rally controllie. Couldn't break it even though I flogged the ring out of it, found that 121s are limited to 150km/h then found that mine wasn't! Rolled it end over end 6 times and walked away unhurt.
1980 Mazda 323 1.5 manual wagon, orange with brown trim. Cheap runabout after the 121. Blew 2 engines with PizzaHut, along with 1 battery, 2 alternators and other issues in 3 months. Sod to wrecker after 2 engine blew, cracked head and block.
19?? Mazda 1300 wagon, Pink with nothing. Part built drag car bought for $50 for the engine to put into the 323. Gave to wrecker.
1991 Subaru GL Auto lowroof wagon, red with grey trim. First decent car after 2 years carless. Gained nickname 'Roo Magnet after nearly hitting 'Roos a dozen times. Alternator died and had headlight issues due to the Cibies off the 121 and 80/100 globes in headlights. Traded it after 11 months with 4 days rego, needing 5 new tyres, startermotor, 210,000km service and all 4 axles replaced. And still got more then I expected on the trade for:
1995 VS Acclaim wagon, blue/green with grey trim. Family wagon. Boreing as batshit and noisy as hell with rattles. Replaced fuel pump, water pump, head gaskets and all 4 shocks. Can't afford to get rid of it now.
Wifes cars:
TP Magna carby 5 speed sedan, red with grey. A couple of people ran into and it gave her heaps of trouble. Broke the gearbox selectors in it!
1985 VK Calais EFI, all white with green trim. Future project car.
