Poll: What happened to your first car?

[Duncan]

So, what happened to the first car you 0wned?

Mine was an 84 corolla which I wrote off driving into a stationery car (they were waiting to turn right)

[Jay95R33]

Mine was a 1980 Stanza. Bright yellow with 4 spoke dragway mags sunroof, good suspension package, 32/36 weber, extractors etc...

Looked good and went well - for the time...

Traded it in, and a mate saw it about 2 months later with the whole right hand side wiped out

I was almost in tears... So many memories in that car (most of them in the back seat ) ...

1972 Honda Civic:

Paddock bashing (private property in Mount Wilson) - after a (fair) few beers - hit a bloody big rock - put a dirty big hole in the gearbox - all gearbox and engine oil leaked out - Drove to a servo - bunged a botle of nulon in - most of it leaked out of course -

Drove to Bathurst - put more nulon in it there. Watched the race

Drove back to Sydney (on zero oil), got the gearbox welded up - filled with oil

Drove around for another 2 years

A testiment to nulon oil additive. Yes I have tested it !

Still see mine around.

It's a 94 WRX.

Mine was a 1981 GH Sigma. Was pretty great car for my first one.. owned for about 3 years with very little troubles ..and still above average clean for its age. It got banged a few times, but by other people. Some Irish guy bought it (truly)

About a year later I saw it down Carlsie Street, St Kilda (dodgy area for those that don't know).. didn't look like it had been washed since I sold it and was looked pretty hacked.. never seen it since (about 4 years ago). I guess somebody killed it. I have a photo somewhere..

first owned car was a silvia, Never put a scratch on it, sold.

but frist driven car was a 1981 mazda 929, i hit the back into a tree and my mailbox in my driveway, then damage the whole right side front and bent the chasis for not giving way to a camry.

they all happen in 2 months i borrow it from my friend

I had a 1982 corolla canary yellow. Didnt crash it. Drove it pretty hard, was very reliable. Did all of the work on it myself. Wish i still had it (along with the line) - you dont have to worry about where u park it and it runs on next to nothing.

my first car is lancer gli 2000, hit a bar in CPP parking lot then hit my frenz fence both when i reversed. After that , I lost my wheel cover rite before ball day, after that I bought a new set, I lost 2 of those in 2 months. How's that sound

Now my skyline crashed by someone in 3 months time, should i continue driving? lol

Mine was a yellow 77 leyland mini s. 998cc of raw power! Did the motor, put flat top pistons, o'sized valves, port'n'polish, extractors, 1.75" exhaust with extractors, and twin 1.25" SUs, and 30/70 cam and still was slow. Cornered like a champion though. Sold it to my sister when I upgraded to a 72 GT clubman mini, now that goes alright and corners! Only put one dent in the yellow machine. One very cranky Ex saw me driving around with another girl in the car and proceeded run up my arse, very nice. Still see it getting around 7 years on and it still has the same dent in the boot!

gave it back to my parents...heheh

1967/68 HR Holden

Bought it off my older brother for $200 bucks. Never got around to paying him and he eventually gave it to me as a present.

Good car till I smashed it up in Sutherland and limped it back home to the Illawarra area.

Replaced front end and engine and traded up to a HT which I basically wrote off as well.

All is well now I have my spectacles.

98 vs SS ute, had it for about 8 months before i sold it for the mk4 supra.

[Rezz]

I had a Renault 16... after twice being rammed into (front and side) it still wouldn't die. Eventually traded it in at Brian Gardner Holden for one of those $2000 "we'll trade in any old piece of junk" deals... got a '91 Nissan Pulsar...
