I had an '85 Alfa Romeo Alfetta 2L, prev owned by my grandfather.

Only mods i did to it were custom busted gearbox and huge painted over rust patches...

Couldn't begin to tell you the amount of troubles i had with that prick of a thing, but even now when i see one i get all nostalgic. Still would love to own an alfa again, there's just somethin about your first car....

1st car was a mark one escort 2 door. had a 1600cc, cammed, big webber twin throat, extractors and massive 14 x 8in wide rubber (anyone who know the original tyre size will appreciate this!!).

Wasn't too bad in the poke department, but was glued to the road in the twisty stuff. had so much fun in that car. (would still have one now!)

My FC3S Mazda RX-7 is my first car.. I've done too much to it to list. Now that it's finally been tuned after running the new engine in I'm loving it :rant: First time in the year+ I've owned it that it's run properly.

HQ panelvan.

Prem front end, painted in the backyard without masking up (just wound down the windows), 173 ci of holden muscle (well, not really), lowered with lowering blocks that sometimes fell out, GTS dash and steering wheel worth more than the rest of the car, orange plastic emergency fuel cap, m20 4 speed conversion.

Twas a good car till it got firebombed.

A devil yellow 77 mini S, 998cc, 10thou over flat top pistons, big cam, port and polish, oversized valves, twin SUs, extractor and 2in exhaust... 10x5" polished 4 slot mags, 10" sub in the boot.

Was still slow, but $5 fuel went a long way and it handled like nothing else. Most fun I have ever had in a car!
