Wow theres some real cars whores in here!


Got my first car in 2003,

1. $1000 VK Commodore with manual! I learnt the good old handbrake entries in this one! Crashed and repaired it twice, it literally fell aprat 30mins after i sold it!
Was a birthday present from my parents, best present ever.

2. ZL Fairlane, dumped loooow and shiftkitted. Was auto but looked cool. Best fun was taking up 3 lanes when sliding around.

3. EA Falcon, still got it. Most abused car in the lineup, broke and replaced the diff, gearbox, rear susp. Still waiting for the turbo gear to be slapped on it :-( I wonder how long that will last.

4. AU ex-taxi. My Master Plan to build the first Ford drift car failed when i lost interest after fixing EVERYTHING on it and deciding CBF.

5. Nissan 180sx. So i thought F*k it, ill just take the easy route and buy something that will slide good straight out of the box.

6. Aprilias RS250. Decided i would need soemthing to give me my speed jollies while everything else was getting work done to it. Best learner bike ever!

7. JZA80 Toyoita Supra (the late model one). Got annoyed that too much stuff was in teh garage and not enough on the road so i sold the AU and 180 and bought the Supra. Now its on stands too waiting for bloody coilovers. And an engine swap.....

Oh yea and theres a Van in there soemwhere which i still use till this day.
