Wow, WTF is up with those prices. When did the shitbox Dato get so expensive?

 

[SaintsSeptember]

hmmm no orange bmw's, i guess bernard doesn't post here

I had an orange Datsun 180B, with a white vinyl roof.

Delivered pizza in it for 3 years, and it never missed a beat.

Traded it in in 1996 when I bought my first (and only) new car - a Mazda 121 with a spoiler and mags.

I want to go back to that time and smack myself in the head for buying a hotted up bubble car.

Miss the Datto though. Wish I'd kept it.

What was your first car?

Mine is a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer ES, 105'000ks.. will be picking it up tomorrow and will edit a photo in then.

 

[lmach]

1997 Ford Festiva, which I still own until April. Can't complain, seeing it was given to me.

 

[Kaladin Stormblessed]

1987 Ford Telstar, 120,000 km's.

Got it in 2006, got rid of it in 2009. Loyal car.

 

[zimma]

'93 Nissan Nx coupe, cost 5k, cost me probably close to that again to keep it reliable then wrote it off on the first day of Uni. Still in the backyard and repaired but just not worth the cost to get it back on the road anymore when they're worth stuff all.

Now have a '01 Toyota Rav4, does the job but wanting to move on to something like a WRX when finances allow.

 

[Natho]

Nissan pulsar 02 or 03. Miss that car

 

[Nothing]

1996 Ford Falcon Gli Sedan

[Slax]

1978 Datsun Stanza - car literally rusted apart, had in the floor behind the passanger seat, no firewall, failed a roadworthy with only 21 faults, but the engine kept himming along perfectly.

 

[CLUBMEDhurst]

Canary Yella 1976 Toyota Corolla. Ran forever

 

[blueboy25]

A white 1987 VL Commodore sedan and it caused me no problems at all. Ended up selling it to a work colleagues son.

 

[kaysee]

1st one I drove...

Yeah... a 70s station wagon... in the 90s... as a young 20 yo... and I wandered why the chicks use to prefer to walk.

1st one I bought...

1990 Nissan Pulsar hatch... was a dream to drive and park... and more chicks chauffeured.

 

[lemon chicken]

Canary Yellow XF Falcon that broke down regularly.

Have never bought another second hand car since.

 

[Password is Taco]

89 Mitsubishi Magna in an awful gold colour. The engine blew up twice and ended up costing me more than I paid for it.

 

[Quivorir]

My parents bought me some old Hyundai hatch when I turned 16, but I don't count that. The first and only car ive owned was my 96 EL Falcon, loved it, made it look and sound real nice. When I bought my motorbike it just sat there so I sold it to my brothers Fiancée with intentions of buying it back. She then proceeded to rip the rear part of my body kit off somehow and also crash into the back of my Wife's (heh, thats weird) Lancer, so it is now long gone.

 

[Gasometer]

This is a question used by Banks to verify your identity.

[worbod]

A 1969 Ford Fairmont stationwagon which I "inherited" from my mother a few months after I got my licence in 1987. I drove it for 10 years. It had an ornament from some Vienna Dressge School that my parents attached to it which they bought from a trip to Europe.
