1985 XF panelvan, get my L's in 2 months, my old man gave it to me about a year ago, have since bogged up all the rust, resprayed it, put a stereo in it and done up the front end (balljionts, Pitman arm, tie rod ends, idler arm, rubbers ect).
Enjoyed doing the work myself, really makes you appreciate the car, unlike some of my mates who's parents just go out and buy them something the day they get there P's. |

First car was a Nissan/Datsun 260Z coupe. At that time had never seen nothing like it, and all my mates bagged me out cause i wasnt driving a commofalcon. I would of kept it if it wasnt for all the rust under the bonnet and sills

1978 TE Cortina, previous owner had painted it a "nice" mission brown colour except for the roof which he left the original gold. Not pretty but it done the job.

I've been in the one with 240rwkw and I nearly shat myself so I can only imagine what 300-350rwkw will do. I want to go for another ride but I'm afraid it might make me want to spend a stupid amount of money on my car lol. |

My first car was a 1967 VE Valiant Regal. White with original blue vinyl interior, and bench seats. It was in very good condition.
It had the little 273 V8, and a 3.23 diff. Only mods where dual 2" exhaust and a 350 Holley in place of the lame 2bbl Carter. It sounded fantastic and absolutely annihilated my mates HJ and HX Kingswoods for handling and straight line performance. I absolutely loved it, and will buy another one in the next few years, but this time with a W2 headed small block (or a turbo slant 6). I had soo much fun with that car

Mine was a 1994 EF Falcon Gli in white. Went for 20,000 with a busted head gasket before i eventually traded it in. Worked out that the previous owner died when the car was t-boned in an accident. ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE DOORS CLOSE PROPERLY!

1996 VW Golf TD.
Sold it for the same price i bought it! Minus the suspension... In 2004 when the gas prices were first on the rise in Canada and the US, I took advantage of that situation! She was good to me. So mint and low KM's due to the previous owners being old! hehe.

My first car was a Datsun 200SX 4 door (1981) which I bought in 88 .Wasn't a bad car as it was cheap to run and easy to work on or more play with .
