    Nissan Silvia 1

    From the album: Past Cars I've owned.

    2009 My 3rd Car: 1990 Nissan Silvia Q; Paid $3500 with a reco CA18 in it with 'apparently' around 189,000 on it (I later believe it to be bullshit) This was my first taste of owning a rear-wheel drive vehicle, and have never looked back! Great car whilst it lasted! Shortly after buying it I found it to have regular overheating problems, nothing too drastic, but fairly often they'd occur. Eventually without intention, I blew the radiator in this one, and cracked the head gasket after driving it too hard, too often. Later found out that it's a common thing with the Q models (with the CA18DE Engine, apparently doesn't handle well under high revs). End of my Silvia.

    Holden Nova 4

    From the album: Past Cars I've owned.

    2008 My 1st Car: 1993 Holden Nova SLX Limited. This car was where my love and knowledge of cars would begin and rapidly grow and expand from. One my favourite of all my cars. Picked it up for $900 off the next door neighbor. Was the most fun, back in the day with Shayne, learning how to install audio gear, and do basic little mods. Great memories with/of this car. Sadly a week before selling it, it got written off when Shayne and I were going to get pizza, cleaned up a 15 year old kid on a pushbike, named Dean Dallop, Rolled on the windscreen, shattered it. Car locked up, and swerved into a parked trailer. Long story short, ambulance members and Police told us we were in the clear. End of my Nova.
