Was in way better condition than the old photo shows. It used to shine up really well. This also shows my first working with fibreglass if you look on the arse end where the bumper should be you'll see.

An FB sedan, purchased for $200 in late 1970. The poor old thing was painted in the worst colour scheme ever offered on FB's. The colours were named Scallop Beige and Morning Grey.

It was really pink and grey. Real 1960 stuff. 11 months of fun and freedom and 11 months of embarassment at the colour scheme until it was traded.

Holden had an inside joke about all the Gallahs that bought them. Nahh.. making it up. We painted the bedroom in our old house in pink and grey and it was really nice.

VC SL Commodore in Canary Yellow. I had no say in it, was my 18th Bday present. Was so glad when it went.

1976 Mk1 Golf GTi had it when i was 16-17 dad had me practicing how to drive manual in it, it was absolutely rooted and shit itself in the end.

it looked like this.... but in shit condition.

1980 4 speed, 4 door, 1600 Ford Escort, canary yellow. Awsome car, wish i had never sold it.

[IBLOWN]

in '95 i bought a $2000 1984 honda civic and slowly did it up lol. What an animal. Sprayed it 2pack yellow, TX3 turbo white rims, CRX seats. Man it was cool... 'nt. I made the secondary barrel open manually instead of vacuum with the aid of a heavy spring and a good old filing of the linkage cam.

I used to get smoked by stock V6 commo's though. LOL they were my worst enemy. Still went hard for its day though.

1995 Toyota Corolla Seca that I bought when I just got my license for $15 000. Wasn't too bad I suppose- was good on fuel but it was the most gutless car I have ever driven!

[Darren_L]

my first car back in 1989 was a 202 auto SL VH Commodore $4500
my second car (and my current car) VH SS (was a 4.2L 4 spd) , paid $4700 about 5 years ago

[brodiewilson]

My first car was a datsun 1200 ute that dad gave me and i learnt to drive it around the paddock, its still in the paddock rusting away but still runs on 3 cylinders it wont die. Then when i got my Ps i baught a vs wagon off my mate for 1000 bucks i crashed it then stripped it and probably got more for the parts than i payed for it.

[Macca86]

[HardcoreHooligan]

[Cúl-Báire]

My first car was a VP Berlina, Sedan; that I brought of eBay for 3200 had it for about 3 years... I still to this day miss that car!
Second was a VX SS Commodore which I only had for a few weeks before destroying it :-(
Third is my VT SS...

I am shopping for number 4 at the moment, it's likely to be a newer Subaru, or Volkswagen (don't worry folks I am looking for a V8 or Super Six wagon for the girl.lol.).

god knows how many years ago back when i was in nz i got me licence one morning(never had to worry about the loser or poofter plates back then,lol). had never driven a manual before,an hour later i bought a mark 2 cortina-column change manual for $150. great car to drive,even with the rubberband suspension this thing went damn quick. it went even quicker when i ripped the motor out & put in a v6 capri engine,after awhile it went quicker again when i pulled the v6 out & jammed a 302 windsor in the thing. with a v8 in it,this thing had some real balls & scarey as all hell to drive sometimes. nothing like the good old days when you could buy what you want,do what you want without restrictions & hassles with engineer certs. then the list of cars since becomes a bit endless & would probably run out of space or bore people silly
