First car was a XC Fairmont GXL 302 clevo column auto. Then full rebuild to a 351 toploader nine inch and four wheel disks. Full street machine job done on it.
Also at the same time had a ford escort mk2 RS2000 coupe. Full engine rebuild to full house 2 litre with twin 48mm side draft webers. Then made the worst decision of my life. Traded them both in on a NH Pajero. Big regrets there.

So my cars
XC Falcon
RS 2000 Escort
NH Pajero (new)
Mk1 Escort coupe. 2.0 conversion
GQ 4.2 1994 Swb patrol (new) then stolen
Shit box pulsar Q to get around in.
GU 4.2 2006 (shouldn't have sold that either)
GQ 4.2 1991
VRX Lancer (new)
D22 Navara 2.8 08 (new) current

Wife's cars
VK Brock commodore (sold it) couldn't take it anywhere without it getting broken into.
Hyundai XL
VT commodore
Astra Coup (New)
Holden combo (new) work car. Current
VF SSV Redline 6.0l 6 speed. Current

That's why I have no money. Mmm

[75 GRC]

In my early years RX4 rotaries 13b's chook chasers.

THEN I developed a taste for ford XC's
351 powerhouse nothing like the sound of the V8 rumble (OLD SHCOOL) 3 1/2 thousand RPM stall converter and all.

Well that one didn't last that long either.lol
The wife said I am going to kill myself in.

Then of all things I went for a Mini Cooper s.

Now that thing had some balls.
Blueprinted and all The motor alone was $7500. Down it back to 3rd on the highway at a 100 kph .
And it would smoke the bags out of the tires.

Was a fabulous yuppie Toy.

Then I got into GTI's
Man those thing to have some balls.......


I also had a couple of F100 trucks
To tow our cutting horses around.
Had a 67 and 76 models.good old trucks.

But now I'm into my Nissan D22 big time.
And I can't see that changing in the near future.

Thanks

Cheers Geoff Go the V-6's
