    First car

    Beat this - 1926 Alvis 1250 sports.
    I traded it on Parramatta road for a resprayed pink FX Holden ute, which I took out to the bush. The Alvis had two seats, no doors, handbrake on the outside of the body, RHS floor gearstick and wire wheels. I wish I had it now....

    1968 MkII Cortina. Retreads all round. 4spd. Motor was sweet. A 1600 that had been bored to 1750.

    If I hadn't been trying to drive it like a ferrari, it might have lasted longer (and I'm very lucky I did last longer ).

    First car was a 1981 Dunnydore, special edition ER WTF that stood for can't remember. Great car, did many trips with the boys from Sydney to Gold Coast in late teens, that was until I flipped it and then rolled it 3 times, saved my life that car. Then with insurance money ( and why who can only know) bought a brand spanking new Astra, which ummmm got repossessed . Then without car for many many years until my next Commodore a VH SL/E, then Commodore Berlina VN, then a 97 VS, Merc C180 98 model, then had to hand that back when marriage hit the skids , but kept the VS. ( Sorry I know it was 1st car, but its a bit quiet here on the western front today ). Then moved to the dark side when got an AU Falcon for a company car, then got an AU Falcon SR, then a Territory, got rid of AU SR and got the XR6, then got rid of Territory and got the D3, and now...........................who know's. Still tossing up on whether I get a D2 or go the Fender . Okily dokilies back to work,

    Regards

    Stevo

    1980 Rx7 series 1. Was my favorite car - so fun to drive.

    Like my landrover, everyone assumed it was unreliable...

    Again like my landrover, it never missed a beat (except the starter motor 1 time).

    Look after cars and they look after you.

    Still running around town, i saw it sometime this year.

    Probably my favourite of all Commodores. I have always wanted either a 4.2 or a 5 litre one of these, or an SL/X.
