Default Re: Parents Cars...

This is what I can remember from about 5yr old (1972). My parents would by a car (single car family) and drive it, Dad would fix it until there was nothing left worth doing to keep them going and give them up for scrap. They never had much coin, so a late model used car wasn't an option. I'm much the same, but have better taste in cars.

Austin A40 - I think
1956 Hillman
1966 Hillman
XL Falcon wagon (cheers Dad!)
1973 Hillman - lasted for years!
1992 Corolla - bought brand new.

Buggered if I know why the Hillman's. My Grandad swore by them, maybe that's why. I'm not a fan!

Cheers!
