Hehe, my first car was a '93 Holden Barina. God I loved her lol. Real "personality" haha. 2nd car is my '92 ZX TT that I have now.
First car was a 1990 Mitsubishi Magna, was a great little car, i actually came to my first ever Aus300zx meet in it before i had the Z haha, and parked very very far away that day, remember Pauly?...

I spent 7,000 on maintenance for the brand new Honda Accord and lost 30,000 in terms of depreciation between 1996 and 2002. However, this does not include any interests paid on finance. So, why bother to buy a new car. I am happy with my Pajero and spent only 1000 in the two years ownership. I am now thinking about buying more classical cars such as 1968 Mercedes or Jag.
how much you asking for it? my neighbour is looking for one 1st car was the zed.... non turbo had her converted to TT about a month ago
I lost count at 40 cars... but the zed is the latest and by far the best and most complete car in every sense. Oh and a nice engine bay helps (pic's 1 + 2)
My first car was an import N14 2L pulsar Ti, such a zippy lil car, beautiful and power packed, the second was a N15 1.6L pulsar +, not as fast, but ecomomical, and then came the 300...actually now that i think of it, i've owned 3 white nissans!!! hehe, gotta luv white cars hehe cheers, reg

My dream car since the first one I saw! Datsun 260Z 2+2 - Fast, solid, versatile, easy to service. Nissan Skyline Hatch - Amazingly useful, but still looks nice and sporty! And, I suppose most controversially: The Soarer (4L V8) - very smooth, comfortable, relaxing to drive, nice handling, good economy, easy to work on considering its complexity, just feels so damn solid and well built. My least liked (the don't-know-why-I-bought-it category) Mazda 121 (RX5 shape). Totally gutless with anyone more than the driver. Very ordinary handling. 78 Celica. Plastic City. Cheap, rattley, tinny - That model was total rubbish. Gave a good test drive at city speeds, though! Honda Legend Coupe - Nice to drive, but engine and gearbox poorly designed - ownership of an old one is disappointing - problems just get too expensive to fix. Nissan Skyline R31 - Totally characterless, cheap and nasty interior. Awful access to 'simple' jobs like changing the sparkplugs
Here's my list 1974 XB Falcon 500. Crashed on day of year 12 Formal 1974 XB Falcon coupe. I loved this car 1977 Holden Gemini coupe.
