Jesus, you go through cars like i go through beer. Myself, 25 years old

Mildly Worked VH Commodore
Heavily worked VP SS Commodore
HZJ75 Landcruiser Trayback - Current car
KZJ120 Prado- Current car

Vh Commodore was fun, but a money pit, the VP however was the greatest thing i have ever driven. The power was incredible, but was also a money pit. Trayback has been best car ever though. Brought it off my old man, never let me down. The Prado however, well i dont want to go there. Lets just say, i am going to kill the previous owner. Anyone wanna do me a favour and pay a visit to him in Perth. If not plenty of mates will be.

* The dealer wiped it out in a 5 car pile-up while "taking it to be washed" after its 5000km service.

Some were great (XR2 and Lancia), some were rather ordinary (the Commode) and some were downright dangerous (A30) but all have left some good memories.

Cheers,
Chris

there were probably others but i cant think of them at the minute- funny looking at it in black and white,could have saved myself an absolute fortune not buying half of that lot!!

Oh gosh, I don't know their HQ thingies :
1963 Holden Sedan (something - was my Nana's)
1966 Morris 1100 (went all over Queensland's south-west - when bogged whoever could see over the steering wheel steered and the rest pushed!)
1970 Torana XU1 (British Racing Green - rigid suspension until I changed that - could hardly get to drive it as my father was always 'borrowing' it to go to the Pub or get the mail, huh!) (Three speeding tickets with that one)
After getting married:
1965 EH Ute (technicaly not mine)
1965 EH Wagon (with clip on baby seat over front bench, no belts)
1975 VW Passat Wagon (Mine! and I loved it)
then Toyota something with 2 doors - dark green, went like the wind
1988 Camry Wagon - loved it
1992 bought 60 series LC for farm work (not sure what year it was)
1999 bought 100 series for desert work (still got it)
2007 bought V8 ute (like riding in an armchair - hardly know it was a manual)
This is just my list- Ian's is longer and more interesting (including a Daytona Bronze Monaro with bucket seats - oh yes).
