Sold to buy a 1995 Discovery

I had a RG250 suzuki for first vehicle but first car was an EH sedan which i never drove and replaced with an FC sedan ( still have it), my first 4by was an LJ50 3 cylinder zook 550 cc's of pure grunt .

Morris 1300 Automatic - a good barometer - used to stop before the rain started - never worked when it was actually raining.

Actually got it to 82mph one cold night - usually only made it just over 75mph flat out.

Lol, my EH cost me $75 ! i then bought a HR for $150 and pulled out the 186s and disc front for the EH which now both reside in the FC.

drophead morris minor

stripped and rebuilt it a couple of times.

eventually it died and was sold to zillmere wecking...

next a vauxhall brabam viva, i eventually fitted an ex english police freeway 6cyl pursuit motor... went like the clappers, kept shearing the tansverse spring pin till i drilled the hole bigger and fitted a much bigger diameter pin..

it very nearly went to heaven on the cecil plains road when a great western semi loaded with another on its back crested a small hill at the same time i did. the air rush lifted my vehicle and threw it 20-30 feet off the road... the bonnet blew up and over the roof, knocking out my mate in the passenger seat. i was doing about 70-80mph and i think the semi was as well.....

we nursed it home..... and it was sold for parts...

First I owned was a '77 Holden Gemini. My father bought it 2nd hand (with my money), asked if I had a preference for colour. I said "anything but that disgusting greenish cream colour." Of course...
