Previous Cars

[PhantomXR8]

I was having a conversation with a fellow forum member about previous cars, he had some cool cars. I've had some Fords in my time, mostly Falcons. Like my present car I've modified them from standard to get a bit more performance from them. I'll list out all of the cars below, it all started around 1979, showing my age!

Yep, it's still funny to hear people talk about my old car. I sold it 6 months ago and people say remember the old days with your other xr8.........


The one thing i wish i never did was sell it, if i could find it and it was still in the same condition as i sold it i'd buy it back in a hartbeat. She was my first and the memories will remain with me forever...........

Short but sweet. You're smart not to have a sh!tload of cars .. the more you change them over, the more money you waste (it is fun but!)

1980 Ford Mk II Escort (1.6, manual, 2 door)
1976 Ford Mk II Escort (2.0, manual, 4 door)
1985 Ford XF GL Falcon (4.1, auto)

[Paxton]

1993 - Toyota Corolla CSi Limited. Brand new, white, manual. Great car.
1995 - Ford Falcon XR6 EF. Bought from auctions. Manual. Le Mans Red.
1998 - Nissan Patrol ST 2.8 Turbo Diesel. First Company car. White, manual.
2002 - AU111 XR6 VCT. Manual, Venom, leather. Better than the EF.
2005 - Territory Ghia. Auto, Black. Better than the Patrol, but still struggles with boat.

While I had my XA GT my best mate had a LJ XU1, it was in Syan, a great handling car.

[12]

In 12 years of driving I have owned..

From first to last:

MKII Escort (1.6)
TE Cortina (4.1)
TE Cortina (3.3)
MKII Escort (1.6 Turbo)
Mazda 626 (2.0 Turbo)
TE Cortina (2.0)
Mazda RX4 (Powered by 302w)<Fastest car owned. 10.8* sec 1/4 mile.
EBII XR8
TA22 Celica (13B)
MKII Escort (13B)
ED XR8
TE Cortina (289w, then 302w)
AUI XR8
AUI TS50

Non of them escaped the mod bug :. Every car I've owned has been modified from either full on.. to just a set of wheels and lowered. The TS50 has survived the longest (15 months and counting).. just love it! Unfortunately, I never bothered to take photos of any of the cars, except for the TS50. Altough I do have a couple of pic's of the AU XR8, and might have one or two of the 302w Cortina at Easternats. I regret not taking any photos now.. would be nice to look through a photo album and see where all that money went to... then bash my head against the wall . LOL... had fun though _2:.
