First car driven: 1983 Nissan Bluebird. It was possessed, it would just cut out at will, and without warning, no mechanic could ever find out what was wrong with it. It was stolen on Mothers Day 1999- suckers, little did they know they did me favour. Unfortunately, I had just had some studio 2000 shots done and so about $800 worth of photos went missing with it :(

Current Car - 2003 Toyota Corolla - can't fault it- fantastic car!

Best car driven: Probably the Corolla, or my mates fully worked WRX.

Worst car driven: VL Calais on gas

First car driven: Holden FJ 1955 - in 1961. I bought it off my older sister in 1965.
Current car: 1995 Audi S2 [and a 1996 Ssangyongg Musso.]
Best car driven: 1995 Audi S2 - which is why I still have it.
Best car I owned: " " " "
Most exciting car driven [and owned]: 1978 Porsche 930 Turbo
Worst car driven [and owned]: Maserati biturbo 222E - it was brilliant when it was working, but it wasn't working often enough!
[ I did once drive a friend's 1968 Ford Fairlane - it put me right of Fords as it steered like a barge.]

PS: I'd forgotten all about the Holden HR panel van my first wife and I had for a short time - it would have to take the worst car owned title although it did steer a little better than the friend's Fairlane.

First car: Datsun 200B GX
Current car: 2004 Toyota Echo
Best Car Driven: Do like my current Echo, but my second car, a Toyota Camry was nearly faultless, a great car.
Worst Car Driven: Not fond of the latest Falcon, which I had for a week and found as heavy as concrete.

Do many here name their cars?
My first was "Willie", with the long list including "Stuie", "The Rat-mobile", "Bertie", "Nobbie" & currently "Rex"

First car driven: HZ wagon, 253 column three speed. it was a tank and you couldnt kill it!
Current car: VE SSV ute (and the wife's 2000 lancer 4 door)
Best Car: My Ute
Worst Car: CM Valiant. had a great engine (318 "fireball") , but was shocking if you wanted to stop or steer.(i think this was to do with the perticular example i had, lets just say it had had a tough life previously)
Cars owned: 6
Cars written off: 2. one of which wasnt mine, and wasnt my fault. and note for the new drivers, cars go much better on their wheels than on their roof, no need to check it for yourself, just take my word for it.... :oops:
