    First car was a 1978 mitsi mirage, 4speed 1300cc. Had it for about about a year until it got written off while getting hit by a van while parked outside lou Vincent’s little sisters house. We were both in the car too!

    I remember the day I got it I drove from the shore up to pakiri with the choke out and almost used up all the gas

    Replaced it with a mitsi station....what a farken beast 2ltr turbo rwd but auto. Never had another mitsi since and didn’t have another auto until about 15 years later when came back from the UK.

    I’m sure there’s a bloody good story here

    Easy opportunity for a joke, something about piercing the ring through the covers

    My first car was a Mazda 808

    Had one of those too. Third car I think. A sort of bile yellow colour.

    Had no guts at all but just kept going, like most of my awful cars.

    Chicks would have been all over you.

    It’s like what they say about Volvos.

    What’s the good thing about Volvos? They last forever.

    What’s the worst thing about Volvos? They last forever.

    1983 Toyota Corolla, 4 dr manual. Piece of garbage, but did the job for a while.

    Careful fella, don't want your hood getting caught while you're trying to smash all the kids at climbing kids playground things.

    I've got a rope and chin up bar now bro. It's the only way I can talk my way out of going for a run with the Mrs.

    Bro, his loss.

    I think the mods are all on a drinks break to let our ridiculous conversation continue for as long as it has.

    First car was a 1982 DX Corolla, man that thing was gutless. 1.3lt engine from memory but it ran on the smell of an oily rag. Rusted like anything tho, at the end the floor under the pedals rusted out. It was like a flintstone car

    Yeah cool, how often do you work out at the park and how many SW T shirts do you have ? ( the latter question in particular is apt )

    Morris Minor. 800cc with the split windscreen. When myself and 2 of my mates went to get some crates (5) of flagons from in town in Whangarei we couldn’t get up the fairly gentle slope at Jubilee Park on Tarewa Rd without the two guys getting out then me reversing the old girl up the hill. Grunty it wasn’t.

    Since then I’ve spent more money on cars than makes any sense.
