I'm probably gunna get bagged out for this, but my first car was a 1978 VB sl/e commodore with a worked 308, turbo 400 tranny and a nine inch. It ran 13 sec quaters and had a top speed of about 240km/h.

I've still got it and am planning to rebuild it (make it even faster), as soon as I finish saving up for an R32 GTR.

I assume this is the first car that we "own", as opposed to the first car you "used" (ie. the family's car). If that's the case, R32 GT-R.

LW.

R33 GTST, the car that I first owned. It got only cat back exhaust and HKS BOV. After 1 year, engine dead. And I have to sell it. But now I got a R32 GTR. hehe..... Love the GTR.

[R34GTX]

95 Hyundai Excel 3 Door Hatchback......Laugh all you like. Punished everyday of it's life, has driven over 310 thousand K's and still going strong. It has been the best investment I have made to date.

Mods: One big arse stereo (in it's day). Infinity Kappa splits, 6X9's and a 12 inch in the boot. Recall racing a "Devil Yellow Mini". Now those were the days. LOL

I used to drive Mum's Verada and Camry. My real first car is my current ECR33. My first turbo, manual, RWD, coupe car... Only started to learn manual on the day I got my car too... BTW still love the Camry though...

So your actually dead right & this is like the brother or relative telling people what your car was? FMD 400kw @ the wheels for a P plater is a tad extreme.... I hope Daddy didnt buy it.

[Maxx]

first car is a 81' Mazda 929, "borrow" from my mate, crash it into my mail box when reverse in the first month.

Then the first car i owned was a S13 silvia

mod: strut brace, Pod, catback, 17" and some stereo

[DAN00H]

:headspin: I'm amazed at the amount of PPl who can afford the $$$ to get something pretty flash as a first car!?!?

1. is it that either someone else fronted up with the money for you, or

2.you used other peoples cars for most of your early driving life, or

3. you lived at home riding the train / tram / getting a lift, not spending the money that you earnt??? :headspin:

You'll find that most parents are willing to chip in, or help out there kids for there first car if theyre in the situation to do so... Mine helped me out with mine a little bit, but i didnt ask them too... they just decided that they would, which was great for me:D
