Seems a lot when you make a list. Quite a few were owned concurrently. Four bought new, one owned for 14 years, two written off (Hillman teaching my sister to drive and the VW drowned). The cheapest was the Standard 10 which cost me $130 from a car yard. The fastest? 5.7L Gen III Monaro (Red, of course) Seven out of 15 were made in Australia. 5 Japanese, 1 UK, 1 German and 1 Slovakian.
Least missed; the Gemini. Most sadly missed; the 80 Series. I wore it out.
1958 Standard 10 (1975 to 1976)
1966 Vauxhall Viva (1976 to 1979)
1972 Hillman Hunter (1979 to 1981)

Nothing wrong with using a Cobb & Co wire hitch, with fencing wire, to replace the bolts on your rear drive shaft when you snap the bolts out, and a couple pairs ofnstocking make a great fan belt to get you somewhere in a tight situation. I cannot count the amopunt of times I have used curry powder in my radiator to stop a leak and get me somewhere.....now who was that Bush Mechanic. Yes, I have actually done all the above and more.

Now that would be black pepper and an egg, it actually works but make a shocking mess of your radiator and the hoses. With curry powder you can rip the radiator out, find the leak easily, it is the part with the yellowy stain outseide, and wash it all out with just hot water. The curry powder, if just tipped in, goes lumpy, which uis what blocks the hole when it tries to get out through the hole. Sorry for going off topic.

If you want work vehicles geess
1983 Ford F100
1983-4 Holden Commodores and Ford Faclons
1983-99 Every Troopy in between with a mix of 60s, 80s and 105s
1999 onwards mostly Holden Commodores with the odd Ford Falcon to Camrys and other crappy sedans
1999 onwards 4wds, cross section of early GUs, Rodeos, Hiluxs, Rangers, Pajeros, Colorados, Isuzus, and what ever other crap DC they send us, haven't had Tritons or Amaroks yet.
Best work vehicles and also best that suited was the Troopy. Although my ideal vehicle would the dual cab 79.

Toyota Corona RT104 - first car, auto, crappy but it was road worthy, went where it was asked, didn't break the bank to purchase, dish licker hair wiped easily off the upholstery, used a purposely modified towel as a seat cover. This was my first ever 4WD - I kid you not ... ;D
Toyota Hi-Ace RT104 - second car, bubble roof type, but it had room in the back to sleep and keep the dish lickers, I could stand in the back and change clothes easily, used some purposely made curtains to keep peeking eyes out, and I could tow a trailer filled with camping gear easily, had Bus Shift (column shift) rather than stick shift, had to lift the passenger seat and centre console (ie: remove anything and put the chair back flat) to check anything engine wise, had to put 14's on it so it didn't whine too loudly at 100kph which threw out the speedo and trip meter, when empty had to put two 50kg bags of gravel in it to keep it on the road in a breeze.
Toyota Hi-Lux (RT-104???) - third car, went like a shower of ****, but it had room in the back to sleep, a full size cage with opening "cage" sides, colourbond roof for the dish lickers, and I could tow a trailer filled with camping gear easily if I didn't want to pack the ute tray, had a fancy gear stick knob with a redback in it ... downside ... everyone thought you'd help them move.
Nissan Pulsar - fourth car, comfortable, reliable (so far), economical, the air con doesn't work, can't sleep in it, won't tow an empty trailer without stress and struggle let alone one with two short sticks in it, barely fit a weekends camping gear + dish lickers in it, dish licker hair is hard to remove from the upholstery and I have to clean to window a lot due to dish licker drool and nose marks.

P.S. I know everything there is to fix about RT-104 engines.

It would good if everyone lists the year along with model and make, I'd like to see if I can get some stats out of this (that's the business analyst coming out in me). If not possible, I'll fudge some figures.

I got dobbed in for one blowing smoke - a nice letter from the environmental department (it use to feel like two bottles of oil for every 1/2 tank of fuel) and I can't remember how many water pumps DH had to replace - I think we had it down to a 35min job in the end :-)

Blimey, I have never heard of half the cars in this thread, that will make some good googling for the grandkids.

Remember the ads for them. They said it was big car performance, small car handling when it was actually "Small car performance, big car handling"

That was feature that GMH added to the vehicle to let you know that the rings needed replacing. Very handy.

Replace the rings? We thought we were over capitalising replacing the water pumps - Bought the auto for $2000 and the manual for $1600 and got $50 each when the scrap truck came and took them away :-) (I was happy not to be paying him)

My brother had some pretty cool cars for their day
1970 VG Valiant Regal 265 Hemi slant six, that thing was scary fast, same as this one. He rode his off by running into one of SA's large stobey poles, pushed the motor through the firewall into the cabin.
(http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2369/2368077213_2dbaa0bf73_z.jpg)
And a 1971 HQ SS Monaro in the same livery as this one. He blew the diff on his one after putting 10" of rubber on the back and doing burnouts.

I used to have an addiction to buying new cars, but now that I drive a Prado, I'm cured... mostly. >:D
VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition - Legendary; I wish I still had this car!
Ford Laser 1.6 Sport - Heap of Shit, but very fast (Johannesburg to Durban in 3:45 - that's about 560kms)
BMW 318i - Awesome car, poor specimen
Opel (Holden) Astra - Heap of Shit (fraught with electrical faults), but nice to drive
Honda Ballade / Civic (Limited) - (Heap of Shit)

BMW 328i - Very awesome car. Fast and nimble. (Same as the one 4 cars before it...)
Toyota Hilux 2.7 4x4 - Very capable, not comfortable as a daily drive
Audi A4 2.8 Quattro - Gas guzzling muscle, cornered like it was on rails

Audi A4 1.8T - Lovely car, very luxurious, but somewhat gutless.
Volvo s60 2.4 - The most comfortable car I've ever driven. Had to sell it because I looked 50 in it...
Jeep Wrangler - The windy car - heap of Shit. Spent most of it's life at Chrysler
Jeep Cherokee 3.8L - Even bigger heap of Shit. 24L/100kms - enuff said
BMW 320i - Awesome car - much better than the new 4cyl 320...
Colt Rodeo / Mistubishi Triton 4x4 - Best 4x4 I've ever owned until the Prado
BMW 525i - Felt like royalty in this car.
Mistubishi Pajero DI-D VRX - uncomfortable seats, but great car otherwise
Toyota Landcruiser 105 HDJ - Awesome, awesome car... The 200 is on the must-own list now for sure.

Subaru Forester
The last four cars have all been company vehicles. You see I can have any make of car that I want, as long as its a Subaru (Forester or Liberty)
Not a bad predicament by any means.
Anyway ...
Went for a test drive in the new Subaru Forester yesterday. Gave both the diesel and 2.5 petrol a spin.
Both of them performed well, but I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of the diesel model. Bearing in mind that its only available with a 6 speed manual transmission. Now although the petrol engined vehicle seemed to have a bit more initial squirt, I thought the diesel variation outperformed its counterpart in other areas.
So the deals been done and the wheel of industry are grinding as I type. One satin white pearl diesel Forester is heading this way.
The only downside to the equation is that the old beast has recently been given some new shoes, and I've installed all the electrical componentry for charging two extra batteries. To comply with the warranty of the new jalopy I'll have to pay an authorised auto electrician to install a new system. Its only money hey.

A work colleague has just purchases a Subaru Forester. Petrol 2.5lt. Very nice car.

Snow, I've got to ask, are you Mick of two wheel journalism fame?
It's interesting seeing the lists of vehicles. I've never understood the desire/need to change vehicles every year or two, look after a vehicle well and you get 5+ years out of it easily before it reaches the end of its economic life. But I do understand the desire/interest in special cars.

Nope, but I was quite involved in the motorcycling scene back in the early 80's. We were fairly involved with the NSW and National MRA back then hanging out with the likes of Hal Caston and Damien Cogdognotto. Ancient history now. ;D

Nope, but I was quite involved in the motorcycling scene back in the early 80's. We were fairly involved with the NSW and National MRA back then hanging out with the likes of Hal Caston and Damien Cogdognotto. Ancient history now. ;D
Cool :) I swap emails with Uncle Damien regarding his ongoing political activities, he's certainly a driven man. I also had a bit to do with NSWMCC when Guy Stanford was at the helm. You look like Matho in your avatar :P

1954 Morris Minor Series II van (ex Post Office) 803cc OHV 4cyl engine
1957 Morris Minor Series II van 803cc OHV 4cyl engine (after I wrote off the first one!)
1957 Morris Minor Series II van - but this one had the 948cc engine!
1959 Austin Healey Sprite - I still have fond memories of driving that.
196? Vauxhall Victor FD
197? Ford Escort wagon
Since coming to Australia:
Ford Cortina - terrible car, got rid of it after a month or two!
Honda Z - now that was fun! Two cyl aircooled 360cc motor, took two adults and two young kids all over Adelaide.
Chrysler Valiant VE(?) Safari - bench seat, 3-speed column change - the only good point was that it held a huge amount of stuff!
Mazda Capella
1987 Falcon EA - this model had a bad reputation but I never had any trouble with it
2000 Falcon AU - first car I ever bought new, due to a factory deal when my wife worked for a Ford dealer.
2002 Jeep Cherokee KJ CRD
2006 Jeep Cherokee KJ CRD - as you may guess, I like this model and this is the car I still have.
Also a Ford Laser which I bought for $1500 as a runabout when I moved to Brisbane whilst my wife was still in Adelaide. Unfortunately the Valley yard that sold it to me was done for issuing fraudulent safety certificates and it cost me another $1500 to get it passed as roadworthy!
