1983 sigma 2.6 manual-reliable but slow.
1985 Mitsubishi AB Cordia Turbo-wish I still had this even though i lost my licence in it for doing 160kmh in a 60kmh zone.Sold it to the really hot female lawyer that represented me in court for speeding. 1993 vp commodore s-bought new,sold it after 2 months...enough said. 1976 Chrysler Centura 245 factory 4 speed single rail..awesome car until 78 year old driver went through a red light and wrote it off. 1995 EF2 XR6.Factory manual.Still have it as my weekend toy. 1980 GE Sigma...was a good little car considering i got it for nothing. 2006 Suzuki swift....felt really tinny and handled like a boat.Very economical though. 2008 Ford Fiesta XR4..Current daily driver. |

66 Ford Galaxie 500 with the 390cu in engine.
My dad bought this for $300 in 1975 to tow caravans,He then gave it to me....Mum made me sell it.reckoned Id kill myself in it..great car but crap brakes. 70 Morris 1500ohc Deluxe..with the 5 speed box. Great car except for the rust drove it until it died. 63 XL Falcon deluxe sedan(deluxe meant it got a cigarette lighter and white plastic steering wheel with chrome horn ring) No heater/demister No radio No seatbelts it had the 170cu in engine wit the 2 speed fordomatic.I bought this in 1981 it had 13,000 genuine miles on it,one owner an old bloke who never married I dont think anyone had EVER sat in the rear seat of this car until I bought it.I put another 20,000 miles on it I paid $750 for it sold it for $1500. 78 XC Falcon 500 4.1 column auto but it did have factory air and cloth seats,Nice car to drive especially in the Qld summer,back in those days ac was comparativley rare..traded it on the next car 78 XC Fairmont GS 5.8 factory 4 speed power steer and AC in Pine & Lime(Yellow) with black vinyl roof and black interior..Great car I still own it has just over 60,000km on it. 84 Holden Rodeo 2wd with the 2litre engine & 5 speed It was the LS model probably the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned never let me down,ended up giving it to my sister who drove it for years and had 450.000km on it when the engine finally died. 86 ZL Ford Fairlane 4.1efi engine this care was probably the nicest car I have ever owned it was optioned up with the trip computer and premium sound,I had a few dramas with the electrics,trip computer,interior light delay(driving at night you'd touch the brakes and the interior light would come on then go out again after the delay wouldn't do it everytime just enough to really **** me off)Great touring car though did a few holiday trips in it,perhaps a bit underpowered. 95 Ford CourierXL 4wd 2.6efi engine..I still own this thing underpowered and sucked more fuel than the fairlane after putting two gearboxes in it( I never abused it or even towed anything with it) I parked it in the shed where it still sits covered in dust. 00 AU Falcon XL Ute 4.0l engine 5-speed manual my current drive.. |

*'75 XB Falcon ute: 250/3M, My first car and alot of good memories...
*'79 XD Falcon S-Pack: Brand new/250/4M, Great looking car but the 250 was gutless and the car was full of rattles. When I sold it, there was foam rubber stuffed in every nook and cranny in an attempt to stop the rattles and creaks! *'83 XE Falcon Wagon: 250/3A, Good car and better than the XD. *'88 JE Camira: ![]() ![]() *'78 XC Falcon Wagon: 250/3A, My 'Divorce Car', I was flat broke & paying child support., Cost more to register than it was worth! ![]() *'98 TE Magna:3.0L/4A, Good reliable car...but so boring... *'09 FG Falcon XR6: 4L/5A, Current car bought brand new, haven't had any major problems, ~35,000k's and running well, Great highway car. |
