Looked crap, ran crap, did not pull me a root, but it got me about.

silverchris Member 129 Member For: 21y 3m 26d Location: Bulleen, Vic Posted 29/08/07 11:44 PM Share Posted 29/08/07 11:44 PM I'll show my age, but my first car was a 1953 Ford Consul. I had it in 1970 but it was like new. Good, simple car to start with.Over the years I think I can remember about 30 other cars, with about a quarter of them being Fords. I've own cars from Datsun, Hillman, Vauxhall, Morris, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Chrysler and probably some other, but I've never owned a Expensive Daewoo after I test drive one and it broke down during the test drive.I'm sticking to Ford, and a Falcon as long as they exist. Local product, great value. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/37857-your-first-car/page/3/#findComment-569477 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still with original paint in perfect condition (silver) had 80,000 genuine km on the clock. 3sp on the tree and a 186... I got it when I was 16 (2000).Put in an M20 4sp, 2.5 in exhaust, lowered, big hotwires, all new interior.

Took me about 12 months of afterschool work to get it to spec, hence the school grades went downhill. I ended up leaving school so I could afford to start racing.Lost the drivers licence I never had when I was 17, busted driving to work,,,but that's another story. (and a funny one)Raced the Datto for a couple of years till I got into the next class.
