My daily drive is this Honda HRV.

Even for a small car and the "soft-offroad" image, it is excellent on the looses stuff. Never failed in mud, dirt, water courses and 4x4 tracks.

Great fun to drive. Honda called it the "Joy Machine".....so true.

We have had some cars in the family.
Mazda's rx3, Mini, Chev?, Escorts, Gemini, EH, Torana,
I first had a 77 Gemini, It was mine but it was in my mums name under finance. She hated it and she said it hated her it would only brake down on her. I loved it was Kermit green worked 1.6lt, very very fast done the engine while mum was driving:( thats why she hated it. Then mum bought a VB Commodore best car we ever had. I wanted it in my name but because it wouldn't pass the Road Worthy with flying colours it was to much of a risk. It had rust the paint was dead the exhaust half came off, But it ran every day had a wonderfully strong motor and the tranny was going for about 5 years and never did. It's gone now but it drove on the back of the truck and dropped wheelie still:p.
Now my first owned in my name car, A 92 VP Commodore V6, Had it for about 6 months done the tranny, But it was a brickys car with 300,000k's can't complain to much, It's the fastest V6 holden i have drove.
My mum loves this car as it's the first one we have had with Power Steering

Sharing the family car park with the big bronze wagon on the left there is a metallic green Saab 9000CD (daily driver) and a silver Vespa ET4 150 scooter (commuting tool for my wife).

I have the project 1965 Valiant AP-6 Ute. Only 2000 made, all with 225 slant motors... mine has a 318 Fireball and 4 speed tho.

Also have the old 79 HZ Prem Wagon. Getting rid of it, but keeping the nice little 308 and 5-speed supra box I put in. Currently looking for something small to put that combo into.
Any ideas?

Have an 82 Sigma sitting in the carport for now..

yes I know.. what possessed me... My theory was that it would be better for eldest son to learn to drive in that rather than my XR6...
