What Cars Have You Owned

[young 01]

From what I can remember the list is:

1983 Z28 Camaro, 305 Cross Fire Injection (spent way too much money, my 1st car for 8 years and as horrible as it was still my favorite)

VB SLE 4.2 (piece of crap but had to sell the Chev to furnish our first house )

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee (great family wagon, 280k's and never missed a beat)

1997 Mazda 626 manual hatch (lowered with 17's that were massive back in the day, fun car)

2001 Ford Escape (Not a bad thing, thought they should have sold better than they did?)

Sold cars for a few years so had various Holden, HSV and Volvo demo's.

2005 Subaru Outback sitting on a nice set of 20's (needed something to tow the ski boat but it was a bit of an old mans car!)

Latest beast is a 2009 FG F6 sedan in black (wicked car, has it's flaws but all overlooked when you hit the loud pedal!)

Although the most memorable set of wheels I ever owned was my 1983 CW racing Phase 1 bmx, now that thing was awesome!!!

Started life as a Expensive Daewoo man, and only recently turned to a Ford to fill Holdens lack of bang for your buck, never going back ! I have a quick bike so everything else seems pretty tame in comparison, but the ute will hopefully end up being quicker. See below for my stable to date.

1:1985 Vk sedan 6 cyl manual

2.1988 VL turbo auto

3. 1993 Suzuki Bandit 250 (bike)

4. 1976 diesel mercedes (grandfathers on loan for a year) 0-60 can only be measured in years

5.1999 sss Pulsar hatch manual, loved that car !

6. 2007 Suzuki GSXR750

7.2006 Yamaha R1

8. Toyota Cressida Grande Twin Turbo (1JZ lightly modified installed with Auto by me and a mate) - Written off by a P plater who nailed it while I was turning into my street

9. 2004 Nissan Pulsar Q auto (gifted to me when my grandfather passed away)

10. 2008 Honda CBR1000rr (still current 165hp at the rear tyre everything that can be bolted on has been)

11. 2008 YAmaha WR450 (still current)

12. FG XR6T ute (loving this car, but needs more power bored with standard power already, waiting for bolt on mods to arrive)

Now FG XRT- auto-winter white

(there have been afew quick buy and sells in between.. ranging from an A9X.. E-38 Charger and acouple of XYGT's (vermillion and Yellow glow)

Bit of a "dark period" there .. with fords book ending my journey thus far. But in saying that.. personally up till the FG Ford didnt really raise the bar high enough to jump camps again.

But loving the whole turbo experience.. rattles,squeaks and all

Without drawing direct comparisons, it reminds me so much of my VL-once modified-which to this day still has been my favourite ride!!

Oh and to put it into perspective.. Im 44...
