    Default What car(s) have you owned in the past??

    Hey all...

    Figured i'd start a post of "what car's you've owned in the past....?"


    • 1999-2004: 1994 VR Holden Commodore Executive (Sedan, lowered, pacemakers, 2.5" cat-back, senator rear wing... white in colour.. used to rumble!)

    • 2004-2006: 2004 Mazda3 SP23 (A-Series) - Silver, loved it. Bit of a lemon, replaced transmission @ 10,000km, Brake assembly replaced LH/Front.

    • 2006-2008: 2005 (MY06-New) Honda CRV - Gunmetal Grey - Great car, drank the fuel. Perfect to throw the bike in the back and go riding... miss the days of the Windsor to Nudgee Beach and back rides!

    • 2008-2009: 2008 Mazda3 SP23 (D-Series) - BLACK FTW! - Love this car too.. but, wanting something with a bit more go....

    • 2009 MPS3 - BLACK Luxury... Love this car!

    Default Too Many

    Problem being OLD - lot's of cars
    -Renault 750 - I was 15
    - FJ Holden - never registered - drove to drags on famous brickworks rd Homebush before I got a license
    -Renault Dauphine - first licenced car
    -Mini 850 - fitted with 1100 motor, 1100 Morris diff ratio - quick acceleration - valve bounced at 110 kph in top gear
    -Mini Cooper S - 1426cc, weber, used more oil than petrol - very quick
    -HR Holden 186S - hit telegraph pole - better car after repair
    -Datsun 1600 - fitted with modified 2 litre
    -'71 LC GTR Torana - should have been written off - bad repair and had to sell
    -HK 307 Kingswood - offenhauser quad port with 650 Holley - also quick
    -'74 HQ Holden - 308 4speed - L34 spec motor - extremely quick with 2.60 diff ratio, no acceleration - chewed out clutches regularly - head on smash Pyrmont Bridge Rd. I was charged other driver was let off, it turned out he was in a stolen car and came through a red light.
    -Honda Accord - fitted with twin dellorto's - fun car - tuned by Doug Chivers of pushing Torana at Bathurst fame.
    -VW beetle - looked like it was very quick, Moroon with sunroof, whale tail, big wheels and flared guards, reality had a stock 1600 motor - flat out at 110kph
    - Alfetta 1750 Sedan - fitted with 2 litre pistons and barrels happily rusted away - typical alfa
    - VB Commodore - 202 4 speed, pulled out of slipstream to overtake and the car slowed down - gutless
    - Toyota Sprinter - Baby capsule wouldn't fit through open door, had to fit through hatch
    - Toyota Corona Wagon - 2.4 litre EFI manual -great car - didn't like station wagons
    - EA Falcon S 5 speed- Started out a good car, quickly detoriated cosmetically - First and last Falcon - never buy another - dash top cover and instrument cluster both fell out within a month
    VP Commodore - ex police 5 litre - dark blue with heavily tinted windows - nicknamed the Gestapo Car - sensational car - one of the few I miss
    Nissan 200SX - brand new, bought without a test drive - two six foot sons won't fit in back of a 200SX - really hard decision to sell
    VXSS Commodore - yellow leather interior soon lost it's appeal - fairly modified, CAI, polished stainless exhaust, memcal etc
    -Mazda MPS 6 - love this car - longest time with one car

    - Race cars
    Mazda 1500 sports sedan (mid mount rotary), Mazda Capella (speedway racing)
    - Collecter gone now
    Fiat 500, Mk1 Zephyr, Early series 215 Holden (FX is just a nickname)
    - Current Collector
    1924 Dodge, 1966 Daimler, 1966 Honda S600, 1955 Morris Minor, 1953 Renault 4cv, 1970 Honda CB750
    - Wife's cars
    Morris Mini, Honda Z360, Morris 1100, Sigma Scorpion (was being used as a chook shed before I bought and restored), Holden Apollo - nicknamed "The Taxi" despised by sons but used when their cars are off the road

    There was also a few other bikes, there may have even been other cars that were so bad my brain has failed to remember them.

    1995-1997: (New)1995 Mazda 121, first ever car...great learning experience, oooh the good old high school days

    1997-2001: 1994 Subaru WRX(2nd hand), good car... massive diference from the little 121 and the school girls loved it...,always willing to go for a ride

    2002 Moved to Australia, no car for 3 years

    2005-2008: 2005 Mazda 3 SP23 HB, how my love affair with hatchbacks started..., I was a sedan guy and always hated wagons or anything that looked similar like hatcbacks but couldnt help to fall in love with the SP23HB the very first time I saw it, still missed it.... was a great car and except for not having the boost I didnt miss the Subie one bit.

    2008 - present: 2008 Mazda 3 MPS sports, best car ever, I loved the HB SP23 so when I saw the MPS it was just pure PORN and loving everyminute of it.
