Lots of money wasted over 6 years, lots of speeding fines and defects, lots of insurance hassles etc. Ran a 13.5 with only a catback exhaust and dodgy clutch. Lots of 5K launches, lots of cruises. Bit hard to have love for a few bits of metal but is was close lol. Sold just recently. Went to a good home with an owner who got a bargain!After driving my first turbo car, I decided I like them so the choice was obvious. Wanted a new factory turbo performance car and there arent many options!Always been a Ford boy though. First car was a baby blue XF falcon. Sold it to dad cheap, and he traded it in in 2006 or 2007 with just under 150K kms on it. Genuine too! Such a clean, well kept example. Some fond memories too... They dont make backseats that big anymore lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty32 Legendary member!! Donating Members 1,739 Member For: 17y 9m 6d Gender: Male Location: Dianella, West Oz Posted 22/04/08 01:56 AM Share Posted 22/04/08 01:56 AM (edited) I have been very fortunate indeed...Got back from UK when I was about 18 - Done my learners in my Dad's brand new 04 WRX... For a learner driver it was pretty exciting! Struggled a little bit with the clutch but that was just my inexperience. My first car was an older manual civic - 1.8l hatch. Was pretty much a show car with full bodykit, dropped on big rims, racing seats, few gauges, full custom fibreglassed stereo with a 15" sub and a few amps, mirror tint etc... Was a little slow but a great car to learn in... Wasnt fast enough that I could get in much trouble anyways! Got fed up of the lack of power after about a year.Moved onto to the allmighty R32 GTR... WOW!!!Was lucky enough to grab a tidy mildly modified Godzilla. I loved it to pieces, spent all my spare time doing little mods I was comfortable to try, cleaning it and fangin it around. Fantastic handling, great looks and an induction sound like a jet... had a few tasteful go fast bits / suspension mods and went like the clappers.... I would still have it now if I didnt have the chance of grabbin my XR6T at the price I did...My old man bought a BF XR6T ute for work purposes but after having the ute for around 8 months and only having done about 2000kms - have gave me an offer I couldnt refuse.If I sold my GTR, I could have the ute for whatever money I got for the skyline...I didnt really want to part with my zilla - I loved it... But ended up sellin it for $24K so in the end I only paid that amount for a pretty much brand new T ute...Love the ute too... A little slower than my GTR so far but still stock as yet. Doesnt handle well in comparison to the GTR but that is expected.Having said all this, I think im a better driver for having learnt in and driven fairly powerful and fast cars from an early age. I have more respect for power and speed than I would of I had been thrashing an excel around. My cars have all had good brakes and suspension and I felt a lot safer in them than cheaper, lower powered cars. Guess I have my parents to thank for allowing me the pleasure. Lucky me huh!!! Sorry guys! Edited 22/04/08 02:03 AM by Dirty32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
