Your Very First Car

[AC/DC]

Mazda R100 Rotary.... Fun, , but also 5hit

[homegrown]

1966 Galaxy with centrelines. Attracted heaps of attention with L's and then P's.

[SSVPom]

My first car, a 1990 Vauxhall Astra 1.3L Estate... back in 1996

[1LOUDXFUTE]

1987 Series 4 Mazda RX7

CAI, Nolathane suspension bushes, very loud Exhaust & Stereo.

Damn I miss that car :(

[XR6WGN]

XC Fairmont GXL - I brought it as a Flame Red 302 auto with a brown interior and when I sold it, it was still a 302 but had a toploader, 9" and a black interior. I then traded it on a XD turbo and went backwards - should have stayed with the XC!!

[BFZ Wagon]

My very first car was a 1978 Leyland Mini S with a 998cc engine and 4 wheel drum brakes. :P

[Archilino]

Green '80 xd fairmont wagon, had to be filled after 250km or a long walk to the servo.
Ahh the memories...

[street beast]

mine was a 1987 XF fairmont but that never toched the road so my real 1st car to hit the road is my 1984 XE fairmont

[chevypower]

'76 Holden Statesman DeVille 350ci V8 and 3 auto. If I had to do it over, i would have gone for reliability over a car that tried to be cool. Breaking down (a lot) is never cool! :-)

[stevepet]

First car was a HT GTS 350. AAH the good old days when you could have fun as a P Plater.

[DA68ZA]

Brown XB falcon 500 with a 302 & c4 , never changed the oil because i was always topping it up ...

[mcnews]

Vk Charger with 318 and four-speed which within weeks was stroked to 355, had a fully manualised 727 and disc brake 9".

[castellan]

1st car on the road. a 1971 HQ kingswood sedan 173, 3 on the tree with disc brake. stock as a rock. i can't remember wanting to have a fast car when i was 17. i had paddock bashers before that. EH149 was better then HR186 and the XT221 down the paddock. austin A40 was good. i suppose having fun was not about the power.

[Mark s]

1st car for me was a 1974 Ford Escort. Not much of a car but I learnt so much after stripping down the motor and rebuilding it. All thanks to my Dad and the lessons he passed onto me. His lessons have save me many dollars over the years in servicing and other repairs.

Paid $395 for it back in 1986.

[2stroksmokr]

67 HR Holden, sold last month for $12,000 to upgrade to a BA xr6 UTE

[Bredlipython]

My first drive was a HJ Kingswood with warm 350 Chev & Turbo 400 auto. Put a GTS dash & steering wheel in it. Had that as soon as I got my Ps back in the day, ended up selling it about 15 years ago.

[Marshall M]

Mine was a green XA GT which was a beauty.
That was 1983,
Damn, i wish i still had it!!!!!

[theboxmike]

BA XR6 Falcon, yes i am young lol

[RAMD67]

My first car which i still miss was a 1983 Fairmont Ghia...

It was a great car it took on my mates brick letter box and it only just bent the front metal (which we pulled back out and you could hardly see it happened) and it even sugar in its petrol tank couldnt slow it down lol

I think you miss any of the cars you have owned in one way or anther

[bingoTE50]

1972 VH Valiant Regal in Bottle Green, Bought from the wreckers for $500.00
245 CI Auto - ( Bought in 1981)

[fat289]

1963 EJ Holden Premier gold with white roof - sold it to my uncle who still has it
Only had 12mths rego on it since I sold it in 1979

[2.8L Hilux]

I had a 94 Hilux Diesel (Hence the username) as my first car 2 years ago.

I really do miss it. It was so slow and handled like a dog but that gave it heaps of character. My Fairmont is tight, powerful and quiet and has absolutely no character.

Not sure if you can really explain character, i'm sure most people know what i'm rembling on about.

[xurbanx]

An EA or EB Falcon in white. Passed down from Dad who bought the AU. It was nice and comfy, but whenever it rained, the seats would get wet! Eventually it went to the wreckers.

[TERRY TORRY]

: : Hi. My first car, and the one I will always have a soft spot was a - WAIT FOR IT : Drum Roll Please = >>> 1956 Morris Minor 4 door cream and the best car out to learn how to drive especially on the Pacific Highway BEFORE the Freeway. This will give you an idea how long ago it was. And I've had a few cars since but not THE Morris Minor. A second one would never be as good as the first. A first true love. Glen. : :

[ED Ford Falcon]

Was the good ol '86 corolla!

Absolutely thrashed the sheet out of it for the last 3.5 years(paddock basher), never serviced it and have never had a problem with it!

Will never DIE!! LOL

[ryanstev]

1987 Hyundai Stellar Prima.

The manual version had 61rwhp, mine was an auto.

Same chassis as the Cortina, so almost a Ford.




6 weeks to the day later, after overtaking a truck that turned out to be turning.


2 years later, when an off duty cop sped through an intersection (with his b---- wife and ~2 year old son) I almost got done with dangerous driving when the pr--k called his detective mate.

[XD.XG.XR6.XR8]

XD Falcon S , 4 speed man , white with small pint strips. Traded it in for my XG , last seen on Ten's news driving on 3 wheels with the police in pursuit.

[PALE ALE]

VG Valiant, 245, 3 speed manual (pacer shifter) cost me $500 in 1987. probably spent that again, replacing tyres. Absolute tyre shredder when dumping the clutch and taking off in second gear

[moodyxr]
