In my 6 years of driving here are my cars
1. Honda Civic 1989- first car love, written off in an p plater accident
2. Toyota Celica GT4 St185 1989- bought stock, did the usual mods, ebc, ct20b, full exhaust,rims , sound system. Sold it as it was taking too much of my time & money.
3. Honda Integra VtiR 1994- was modded, had too many little things wrong with it. V-tec was awesome. sold it after a year
4. Mitsubishi FTO 1994- I actually liked this car except for the semi-auto gearbox. Definately faster than the integra, on par with the slightly modded GT4. Sold it to get a MR2
5. MR2 sw20 1992- Have always wanted a mr2, but the two seater thing has always stopped me. Now I working full-time, I can afford to fix it and not use it lol
 
For motorbikes
1. Kawasaki ZXR250 2000- Seriously thought that I wouldn't upgrade from this bike. 21000rpm rev limiter. sounds like a F1 engine( well while on it, prob sound like poo poo for everyone else)
2. GSXR1000- fast, very fast. prob keeping it for a while

Ahh you all have had exciting cars...
1. 1986 Honda Civic (crushed)- 1st car, when i ended up with several cars and work vans, was used as spare car till rego ran out, last day of rego did FWD skids till the clutch went, then it sat around for a while then i sold it to a tow truck which turned it into a cube, now it could be an I beam holding up a roof or a light pole
2. 1989 Toyota Mr2 SW20 (still have) - Still have, now race car
3. 2004 Ford BA Wagon (sold) - For work, sold about a year after i bought new work car
4. 2010 Ford FG XR50 Ute (still have)- For work, Basically an XR6 but upgraded interior, stereo, bigger wheels, has ZF 6speed auto instead of the 4 or 5 ect. modifications include canopy for that racer look, ladder racks as air splitters, shelfs to hold all my other mods and lots of weight ballasts in the rear for that perfect 20/80 weight distribution
 
Other cars ive had full use but not owned include several Toyota hiace / liteace vans
 
My passion is late 80 early 90 import jap cars, love them. exp ones ahead of there time, compare them to say a ford/holden at the time.
+ they all have that nice import jap late 80 early 90 car smell, not like a localy sold 20 year old car that stinks of cigarettes, BO or kids.

Still try and contemplate selling the CRX - but its by far one of the most fun cars to drive.


Man I still want to buy a CRX, logic tells me otherwise but i still love them. I almost bought a mint SIR but decided on the MR2 instead, still want to buy one tho, but if i had the money i would buy another MR2 for club runs ect, or to finish the MR2 i already have, or buy a house, or pay tax, or a billion other things.... one day ill have a CRX! ahh i aim high!

As for me:
 
1) 1992 Toyota MR2 GTS Hardtop (sold waiting payment) 3 1/2 years of glorious midship ownership and will be very sorely missed.
2) ??
 
Not sure what to get next - S2000 or 06 STi but yet to test drive either to make up my mind. Going to buy a $hitter next and put around in that for a while so I can save up a half decent deposit and gives me time to find exactly what I want.

23 now, and had a couple cars. two of which i've had since 18, and a rotating third spot. 
couple parts cars i've killed in here aswell, but dont really count..?
 
1. 1995 Mazda MX6. V6, 4WS, manual, Silver. (6/05 - 4/06?)
bought this at 17.5 (2005) to learn to drive in. it was absolutely immaculate, and a very good car, but never really loved it. just needed more than two seats, and planned on trading it in on an SW20 when i got my P's..
 
2. 1987 Toyota MR2. little red! (~4/06 -  )
not long after my 18th birthday.. shortly after i got my P's. :) funny i always wanted an SW20 bathurst, but got this. AW11's were a heap cheaper (than good SW's) at that time, so worth a look.. but absolutely fell in love with it the second i turned the wheel. still love it.. its rediculous.
 
3. 1976 Holden Monaro GTS4. (~9/06 - )
bought shortly after i bought the AW11, as something to tinker with. ground up resto over the next 4 years, and didnt get it back on the road again until 3/2010! huge project, but totally worth it. love this car - its just so different to drive than everything else these days..
 
4. 1988 Nissan Skyline Silhouette. S3. Manual. (9/08 - early 09?)
Another Project. bought it as a ****ter, and got it regoed.
Then VLT T3 setup, VLT injectors, VLT Ecu, FMIC, 3" turbo-back, mini-spool. sold it to a mate.
always had - and still have - a huge softspot for these cars.
 
5. 1987 AW11. aus-del, red, hardtop. (early 09)
another Project. just had to save it! bought it, cleaned it up, sold it on. had a couple owners since afaik...
 
6. 2002 Subaru Outback. Limited. Manual. (3/09 - 11/10)
modified it to full JDM Legacy Lancaster as soon as i bought it. was a really nice car, but never did much for me. had it as a inconspicuous 'daily', but barely drove it.
 
7. 1998 Mitsubishi Evo 5 GSR. (10/11 -
JUST bought for ****s-and-giggles! doesn't really count since its on its way from Japan, but i technically own it..! its black, tidy, and im pretty excited to get it.. :P
 
 
thats all. :)
