#1 nissan pintara 4cyl(only 3 working cylinders, blown heady, 100 dollar thrasha) mates got that for christmas for me, written off cos some stupid woman ran a stop sign and i got her
#2 toyota corona 4cyl 1978-this was a weapon haha had a wild cam, twin rotary cannons, chopped, locked, bucket seats and a harness hahaha was stupidest car ive ever owned(apart from my XF) the thing blew a water pump but cos the heat gauge ddnt work i ddnt kno till the motor carked it halfway home from a little driftin. #3 toyota corolla 1970 something. took most of the off the corona and transferred it. was great cos it cost me 200 bucks, runnin n , then sold it to some kid who thort it was the bees knees cos it was "drifta style" and he loved the cannons. he offered 1500..i ddnt have the heart to take more than 600. #4 VL commodore-400 bucks and it lasted 2 weeks before the trans popped drive, 1, 2 and reverse. sold to wreckers. #5 XF and the scariest car i ever had haha-no front bumper, exhaust completely removed at headers(dont ever do that u get some funny looks) no springs in rear at all, locked diff, painted matt black with "death falcon" painted on sides. my mate who i bought it off bought it back for a slab. #6 BMW 318i 2 door, 5 spd. was awesome and i planned for it to get a 13bturbo but never cud b bothered, then the diff went then the gbox went so sold it. #7 2004 BA XR6- and so far my favourite, as u can see why haha. pretty much standard but fat 5ix has just arranged wit me to lower it, and its got an exhaust and other little goodies too. #8(not yet owned but soon) a project car, VK calais with a WORKED 253. this thing is a meaaaan machine. never seen such a worked 253 v8. i kno it isnt a ford but it is a HONKER. currently resides in my mates driveway until it gets roadworthy and registered. the motor has had around 15000 spent on it and ive seen it destroy some disbelieving haters. easy beats my BA and i certainly ddnt think it would!! car will be a sort of 50 50 project but with funds tied up in the BA and his money in a gemini coupe and a cortina and his AU, it will b backburner till we can b bothered. |

SLWXR6 do you spend a lot of time text-messaging your friends?
i) 198? KE70 Corollacoaster 1.3ltr 4sp man - rolled it delivering pizzas ii) 1980 XD Falcon 250ci iron head 4sp single rail - wish I looked after this one iii) 198? KE70 Corollacoaster 1.6ltr 5sp man - eventually got done for unroadworthy; lots of dinged panels from pseudo rallying and falling asleep at the wheel (not at the same time, though) iv) 1987 XF Falcon Carby'd 250ci 4sp single rail - binned the T35 auto for a hectic Easter long weekend manual conversion; the single rail had an oil leak like I've never seen before, the car used to smoke on the freeway! v) 1998 EL Gli Falcon 4.0ltr T5 (current steed) - somewhat neglected white factory paint with sun-baked-on pin stripping (how do get them off?); factory roo bar; black stock steelies with removed wheel trims (that only I seem to like); King Springs Standard Lows; DBA slotted discs; PBR RPM pressure plate. I'd love to refresh it with a Cresent Motorsport 4.8ltr big-bore! Make it a beautiful ugly sleeper :

1) 1961 Ford XK Falcon Deluxe 140ci 2spd Auto - First car I owned, never saw the road.
Bought for $500, was made grand promises by my stepdad that "We're gonna fix it up". Never happened. Sold it for $600. 2) 1989 KE Laser Ghia 5dr 1.6L 3spd Auto - First car I owned and drove. Was a big heap of but never failed to start and never broke down. Nearly rolled it one night with a full house (5 people in the car) whilst pulling handbrake 180 turns on the local footy field. 3) 1991 VN Commodore (S)Executive 3.8L 4spd Auto - In reality I bought this car to impress a girl I knew who was into Holdens. Was actually an enjoyable car. It was a owner example that had been resprayed, lowered, cat-back exhaust (used to get asked all the time "Is that a V8 mate?"), 17" VX SS rims and a thumping stereo. Traded it in on a '03 BA XT. 4) 2003 BA XT 4.0L 4spd Semi-Auto - Most expensive car I've bought so far. Was a bone stock, one owner, 98'000km example when I bought it. Wrote it off in an accident on Mother's Day this year. 5) TBA - Right now I'm driving my Godmother's Volvo 850 whilst she is in Europe.
