in 1987 a hq premier 253 for $1800 lots of rust my dad wanted me to buy a 1965 2 door pontiac with a big block in it lots more rust .
A month after I brought it a lady from 2 houses away said I didnt know you wanted to buy a car ( as if you would want to ride a bicycle to work in Townsville for the rest of your life ) my son in law is selling his car but you wouldnt like it its only got 2 doors and when he changes gears it makes a horrible noise and lurches forward he wants $2200 for it . It was a rust free hg gts monaro I will never forget that day!

[ryanstev]

1987 Hyundai Stellar Prima.
~57rwhp.

Here's the first time I drove it:

[mikeyvet]

1968 Renault 10 that I bought for $550 in 1983 with money earned from working after school in a shoe shop.

I had the S version that was the sports version that had a weber carb and tacho but still had 135 wide tyres.

They were rear engined and had the petrol filler in the engine bay. Every time I went into a fill service petrol station the attendant would spend five minutes wandering around the car hose in hand puling at the number plates and trim till you showed them where the filler was. They would then invariably say "What a stupid place to put the petrol filler. Funny cars these Fiats."

[Chilla]

First car.... 1948 Austin A40 sedan. 1200cc of pure british power. 4 speed glovebox. Hydraulic drum brakes up front, mechanical drums at rear. Thrill a second in emergency stops. Bought in 1958 for $650 in to-days money. Still on learners permit at the time. Great car for its time but I prefer my AU Fairmont Ghia......just love being spoilt. :eclipsee_

[Linz]

Ahhh, the fond memories......1970 Morris 1500 sedan (in 1975) :eclipsee_
