turbotom Team Bute Donating Members 1,550 Member For: 21y 4m 9d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 07/06/06 01:47 AM Share Posted 07/06/06 01:47 AM My mini ended up too rusty - so I took the race motor out, put the standard one back in, and unbolted everything that wasnt required to make the car move, windows, lights, electrics, bonnet, boot, seats, headlining etc etc (I was inspired by Goodbye Pork Pie), and turned up at my parents lifestyle block (10 acre farm).that's was great fun - doing jumps, slaloms, shunting my brothers road car about (an old crappy mitsubishi galant).←Hey!Whadayamean, crappy Mitsubishi galant.... I had mine for several years, when all my mates had v8 monaros and falcons and chargers. I'd ring the living hell outa my mitsi.... On dirt roads and in the hills, they didn't keep up. alas, my mitsi met with a sudden end, as I was T-boned at an intersection by an EH holden. My galant was written off.... the EH didn't have a scratch! Got to agree though.... nothing comes close to the fun and freedom of bush bashing whether its 2 wheels or 4. Great for learning defensive driving/riding..I gave up my bikes when it became impossible to get to any decent tracks nearby.... bloody greenies! Kuitpo and Kersbrook forrests used to be fantastic... especially in the winter wet ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen a car with so little potential and so little power (out of the factory). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Ace Member 446 Member For: 19y 10m 5d Location: Melbourne, Victoria Posted 07/06/06 02:36 AM Share Posted 07/06/06 02:36 AM 1st - a one-sixth share in VW Beetle during last year of high school, gee we pushed that car around alot....great memories though....2nd - Falcon (old man's hand me down)3rd - EB Falcon, which was a nice package for the time and is currently in the ownership of my brother.4th - Crummydore work car. I'm not kidding here, the thing used to cut out on me doing 100 kays sometimes when it would backfire due to the crap gas system on it. It was fricken timebomb and I'm glad I'm not driving it anymore.Current - the T, which doubles as my work car and drag car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
