Ferah, I'm almost the same, but 3 out of my 4 cars have been white :P

Not including the cars I've bought cheap to resell:

1984 Subaru Sherpa

1993 Toyota Corolla

1991 Toyota Sera

1992 Nissan 180SX (bought it in 1999, crashed it in 2000 and converted it to S15 front... back then only Bomex made conversion parts)

1993 Nissan R32 GTS

1983 Toyota AE86

1990 Nissan Cefiro (Still got it, dad drives it now)

1991 Nissan R32 GTS4 (Still got it, daily driver)

1989 Nissan R32 GTSt

1990 Nissan R32 GTR

1993 R33 GTSt

1999 Nissan Silvia S15

1994 Nissan Silvia S14 (Still got it, for sale)

lol I'm sure there's more to come. I'm sure one day I'll be able to say I've owned the entire spec range in the R32... only GTE, GXi and GTS25 to go.

In order:

R33 GTS Silver

R32 GTST Black

R33 GTST Burgundy

S5 RX7 13BT White

180sx. Silver

R32 GTR (current.) Purple

R34 GT-T (current.) Black.

Nice mix of colours ey.

AND I've just put a deposit on an R34 GTR! My dream car (well at least until the R35 came along...)

Selling both my cars to pay the rest of the balance, import, comply, register etc. (Shameless plug... :) )

1986 Mazda 323 1.6l

That thing was tough. Not fast at all but I took it off Mount Dandenong one time (yay for no brakes) and still drove it home. It died with about 140,000k's on the clock when it did a head gasket. Wasn't worth repairing, so I went and got my 33. It had almost bald tyres and being front wheel drive was great fun. Miss that car.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
