I think I may have started a tad before one or two of you, being an old git.

Learned to drive in an RAF Landrover on a gliding field - lots of muck and towing.

1965 Mini Countryman (the wagon without the wood) - bought it for 80 quid. My brother stuck it through a fence.

1969 Mini van - great fun for 85 quid. Managed to get 9 people in it on several occasions between pubs in Cheshire, UK.

1973 Vauxhall Firenza 2.3 Sport SL (with 7 dial dash & go fast bits - rare & good fun). Fantastic fun in the snow and ice!

1978 Datsun 260Z - great fun on winding roads. Rusted to death.

Then heaps of company cars in UK, mostly Vauxhall Cavaliers, but included brief periods with a Renault 20, Range Rover, Jag XJ6, Rover 3.5 V8 SD1, VW Passat wagon.

1988 Suzuki Vitara soft top - first car in Oz (other than company car) - great fun on the beach. Kids loved it. Kept it for ten years!1997 R33 GTST - current toy. Definitely satisfying the mid-life crisis - hence the name!

Most fun time in a car ever (apart from the back seat!) was in an Austin Healey Sprite Mk 1 - the Frogeye. Now one of those with a turbo motor would be interesting .......... !!

Oh yeah - first company car in Oz was a 1992 Pintara T hatchback. The only manual in WA, according to the dealer. Unfortunately, the "T" didnt stand for turbo - not sure what it stood for ..... But it was a good car, kept the family happy and away from Commodores for 5 years.

Didn't realise at the time that the Pintara was related to the Skyline.

I think the T was for Ti, possibly the 'i' was missing?

me:

mum's 1983 ford meteor pizza hut delivery come rally car. handbrake bizzniss. Severley wounded by head gasket, then died after attack from drunken Saab. I still have your hubcap, buddy!

1984 nissan R30 2.4E hatch. still got it. took me through the end of uni. anyone want a cheap bunky daily driver? anyone know a p-plater? going cheap!!

now: 33 gts-t. a slow one. but at least it has tunes and flash rims.

future: I dunno... FD or Maserati? or an R.

'97 Lancer MR in 1998 was my first car. Major doof. 141dB at Autosalon 2001. In its half finished state:

lancer_boot125_3.jpg (More pics here).

Was planning on selling it to buy a R32 when some low life took it upon themselves to steal it, thrash it, crash it and lighten it of its stereo. So being without a car and having no luck finding a decent R32 (market was dry in late 2001/early 2002), I was forced to buy a...
