Hehe,

I never knew how quick the 1600 really was or could be.

After a thread in the Vic section I'm actually curious to know about your first cars. Were they turbo or non-turbo?

A far stretch from the supposed 75% of us who drove a high powered vehicle on their P plates lol. Good thread mate

would have been more interesting to have seen who drove turbo cars on their p's.

haven't bought my first car yet but it ll be turbo, that's for sure.

Only problem with that is it used to be legal to drive a turbo on your P plates, as long as it was under the power to weight ratio! But this thread will pretty much tell you that information anyway.

Might as well join the club:

1. 1994 Holden/Opel/Vauxhall Calibra (ongoing rebuild project / reducer of bank balance since writing it off nearly 5 years ago)

2. 1995 Skyline R33 GTS-T Series 1.5 (current daily)

And I've slutted around in so many cars before buying the Skyline that I've lost count of how many / what.
