Start and list from your first car and include mods. Leave the "parts cars" out or the lists may get a little long. Do include your first car ever and age when you got it just for a giggle.End with your current ride(s) As I've started this I must go first and as we're all from different parts of the world there are some who will go WTF is that? Drivers aside from first car please.

1963 Mini Super Delux Was 11 when I got this. No mods

1971 Mini 850, Fitted with 1100 and Cooper S close ratio box, First road going car

1980 Vauxhall Chevette Enduro

1979 Holden Sunbird SL/E (Torana) fitted with JP block Bathurst spec 202

1959 Austin 7 (Mini) totally original

1971 Vauxhall Ventora 3.3 Laycock type J overdrive, Triple Strombergs and extractors

1974 Holden Torana SL/R 5000 Completely stock

1977 SS Torana Hatchback Production option A9X. I have yet to work out why I sold this and it was the most stupid thing that I've ever done.

1984 Rover Vitesse.. See above

1981 Mini Clubman 1100. AKA Snot. Hideously worked. as above

1979 Holden Torana 3.3

1987 Holden Commodore 5.8 Berlina Wagon. Very worked engine, ate gas like it was going out of fashion and looked like grannys car. The ultimate sleeper or so I thought.

1984 Corolla 1.3, got bought for $50 and tickled a bit. Lent it to a friend and got money back rather than my car..

1991 Nissan Sentra Sport wagon. Threw a GTiR Pulsar donk in it. Traded it in as it didn't like carting half a tonne of tools and boat bits around but was fun

1991 Toyota Hilux Surf 2.4 TD. Threw a big bore exhaust on it. Best wagon I've ever had

1992 Toyota Hilux Surf V6. Got given it dead, made it go and sold it

1995 Toyota Hilux Surf V6 SSR-G started to put a 1UZ in it then moved to Perth

1996 HSV Grange, Moved to Aus and petrol was cheap so I was having a V8.. Then bought a dump of a house so..

1991 Toyota Hilux Surf. Purchased "Dead" Fitted 1UZ and SSR-G Recaro Trim. My daily drive. Totally stock aside from what is under the "Lid"

1992 Toyota Hilux Surf SSR-X 2door widebody. Not a common beast and was given to us with a bit missing.. Engine...Made one out of spares and 3 years later still goes like a trooper. Wifes daily but when 3URs become available at a good price you know what is going in it and she will get a new car..

1982 RN41 Hilux. My parents bought this 4 years ago on a trip over as it was cheaper than a rental car and left it with us. Worth it's weight in gold that wee thing and now gifted to my 15yo daughter.. Likely to end up with a 1U in it

1990 Celsior. Had dead alternator and leaky water pump. Too nice to pull apart so now a loaner for my shop

First car was a 68 VW floorpan and a Rat beach buggy body, my dad brought it home when I was 13, and told me if I wanted to leave school and be a mechanic I had to build a car out of it. It ended up registered 12 months later with a Subaru EA82. The first time I drove it it nearly flipped over backwards, the only thing that stopped it was the polished tube frame around the engine and the exhaust. I sold this car before I got my licence.

77 HZ premier, 308/turbo 350, bought this when I was 15, spent 2 years building it, it was my first car when I got my licence. (I built it with the money from the buggy the laughable 2-3rd yr apprentice wage, and around 10 HJ-HZ's I bought cheap, did some work to and sold)
