1979 Ford TE Cortina - First car at 17yo
1976 Chrysler by Chrysler - Chrysler brown with a vinyl roof 360 motor and everything push button. The best air con in the world. Arm rests for every seat. Fantstic car that was.
1985 XJ Jaguar - Never again
1982 VC Commodore - Good car. Lasted five years and never a problem. Served its purpose well.
1987 Ford Fairmont Ghia - Luxury all the way. It had Lpg, was cheap to run. Never any mechanical problems. It always started within 3 seconds from turning the key. I would probably still be driving it today if that ******** didnt rear end me and write it off.
1991 NA Fairlane - How do you go better than a Fairmont ghia. A Fairlane. Luxury again but started having problems at the end.
1996 EL Fairmont - Nice car to drive well thats what my wife tells me. I went and bought a Xf for a runaround car.

The number of happy Falcon owners is no surprise.
Frankly, I'm surprised that Holden owners even get a vote.
Although the fact that they do may explain the longevity of the Howard govt.

I like my XR6 (EL) going to do some mods on it when I get the money
No, when I put my order in I didn't think I could afford a Turbo. But once it was ordered and I found out how much discount I was getting I could have got a turbo.
No matter though - this one has enough under the bonnet to keep me happy (and more importantly means I wont kill myself in a turbo).
Spent all my money on the sound system and internals.

Don't you mean what's a licence?
Dont waste your time on them.They are overpriced buckets of junk.I have driven one and apart from feeling like your squashed in the are very uncomfortable to sit in as well as the fact that the suspension is so hard that you feel every bump on the road.
For $70k there is definately better value around
I drove a $100K Holden Grange the other day, and I have to say that whilst it is a very nice car, I just can't help but think that everyday consumer cars don't get much better over $50k-$60k... You might get more gadgets, but in reality, is that what matters?

1980 Daihatsu Charade. Had rusty doors that flapped in the wind, but could go 1000km on the hint of the existence of an oily rag. Was taken out by a cow in a Honda Prelude who didn't know that you give way to traffic going straight ahead at the traffic lights.
Shared a 1977 Gemini (in that nice Gemini green) named the "Green Demon" with the rest of my family for many years as an "emergency" car. Mostly used by my brothers though as I usually had an alternate car.
1986 Hyundai Excel. Got backed into in the Uni car park the first night I owned it when doing an all nighter. Sold it for $200 because I was going overseas.
1996 Nissan Pulsar. Owned this for six months (at the same time as the Excel). Nicer car, but the Excel was safer to leave at train stations. Sold this one as well to go overseas.
Didn't drive a car for two years after that
1999 Nissan Pulsar. Its a nice enough car, nothing special, but noone wants to steal it, it uses very little petrol, and gets me around fine. Been across the country and back without any real problems so I'm happy with it.

1972 GLX Cortina.. gawd I loved that car... death trap though she was.. Christine baby.. come back..
1981 TD Gemini that I rode in brand new .. as it was my mates Dad's car and we picked it up from the showroom with him. Didn't see it for about ten years from 85 when my mate and I went our seperate ways. Then met up with him, became mates again and.. he had the Gem.. which he was about to sell for doing his licence DD'ing.. so I bought it for $800 and had it up until...
Last month when the rego ran out and it died it's final (been on life support awhile) death. Sad/funny thing was that my friends old man died recently too and his family reckon the car wanted to 'go with him'.
So.. no car of my own atm but driving another mates '2nd car' which is some rubbishy commodore thing from the mid-eighties.
Still.. beats paying for a replacement outta my own pocket i guess.

Silver 1971 HQ Holden Premier. Bench seat in the front and three on the tree. 202 motor. Great car and virtually indestructible, until it cracked a piston half way to VFL Park in 1983

I bought a 1976 Mini S with less than 50k on the clock when I was planning to get a license, my old man sold it when I was overseas, only car I've ever owned. Aside from that it was notable for my brother getting caught drink driving in it, and doing a Patsy, and falling out of the car when he tried to open the door.
