LC GTR - First car, still have it. Was triple carbed 202, now injected 308 with nitrous
LC Sedan parts car. Swapped for a 350 Holley about 13 years ago. Whoops!
'85 Holden Astra - Cheap runaround while I built the Torry
VS Commodore Acclaim - V6 Auto, dumped on 18s with exhaust etc etc. Was a neat little car.
BA XR8 Ute - Worst car I've ever owned by a long shot. Used to grenade gearboxes for no apparent reason, among other things.
VL Commodore - Bought for $150 with a mate and thrashed for 6 weeks until it blew a head gasket. Good times :)
'06 RA Rodeo LT dually - Black, bagged in the rear, dumped on 22s. Looked killer, rode terribly!
HG Ute - ebay 308, painted Warwick yellow, built for skids. Good cheap fun.
93 Hilux Spacecab - Dirtbike carrying rig. Great little truck, ended up doing the minitruck thing with it, looked great, really honest ute
VY SS Crewman - 240rwkw, 6 sp, lowered on 20s. Good ute, went hard, rode really harsh and kept bending suspension components!
07 Ford Ranger dual cab - Ex railcorp, a bit rough and ready but great truck. Tows brilliantly. Still have it.

Not much of a list compared to you blokes! Come to think of it, the missus has had more cool cars than me! CV8 Monaro, HT Kingswood, LC sedan, VY SS, Tuned Golf GTi etc etc.

Hey Rally red, what was the chassis no I hope its not mine? mine also had colour coded bumpers but was painted red with silver stencils when I got it, But I always wanted a black one so I was wraped when I found out it was a genuine tuxedo black car, cheers Aaron.

My little list...

73 HQ Belmont - bush basher, dad bought it for $50 when I was 11. 173/3 speed. Still got it.

73 LJ Torana - you all know this one... Got it for my 15th birthday, with plans to have it on the road for my P's... 6 years later, 2 years after I got my full licence, it came out of the shed haha. Still got it, will never sell it.

74 HQ Premier - family friends gave it to me when I turned 16... Rusty as, shit yellow paint, 202/Traumatic. Still got it, will be restored when I get my shed up.

91(?) EA Falcon wagon - 4.0L/5 speed, had stupid amounts of fun in this thing... Cooked it, still got it out the farm somewhere...

90 ish Triton ute - dual cab, 2.5L diesel, 5 speed, 2WD... Good car, used to love puddles haha. Sold it for frOck all when Dad gave me his Rodeo.

95 Rodeo - dad bought a new Colorado and gave me his old Rodeo. Had some fun in that thing! Gave it back to him when I bought my Calais...

91 VN Calais - silver over silver, straight as, 304/auto... My first V8! Loved that car... Had it for a year, only drove it for 6 months because i bought my VY... Sold it to a mate a couple of months ago.

03 VY SV8 - my current daily, silver, debadged, despoilered, LS1/T56. Good car, might give the motor a bit of a tickle if I run into some spare funds this year...

79 VB Wagon - a future project... 308/auto, heaps of SLE gear, straight as, no rust... Saw it online and had to have it haha

That's it so far, apart from a few parts cars and bush bashers...

1987 Holden ML Barina, got it the day after my 16th birthday in 2006, painted kermit green in early 2008, sold september 2009. Best little car, absolutely reliable.

 

2002 Mitsubishi TJ Magna 3.5 V6. August 2008, bought it because having dramas with Barina's rear brakes and needed a car quick. Everyone bagged me for having a Magna, but I had that car for 6 years and it never let me down. Used to haul ass, was originally a 4 speed auto, converted to manual in december 2011, easiest manual conversion ive done and was flawless, the car was awesome after the conversion. Kept it meticulously serviced and would start first time every time. Considered keeping the motor and dropping it into the torrie :P Sold September 2014, a day before buying the torrie :P

 

1984 Ford Econovan 1.4 December 2008. My first project car. Always like vans and have a particular soft spot for a manual 84 short wheelbase 1.4......dad used to work for electrodry carpet cleaning and after moving on to another field of work the van sat in the backyard with a seized motor. I used to play in it for hours on end. After a lot of headaches I scrapped the project in June 2013

 

1992 Toyota Paseo. Sisters old 1.5 auto runabout she bought in 2011. Had been sitting out the front for about 6 months with no rego after she bought a new car. She owed me a little bit of money for doing the headgasket on it (for parts, im not a c***) so I said ill just take it, its worth nothing. Me and the boys converted it to manual and dropped a starlet GT turbo motor into it. Still not 100% finished but shes frOcking quick haha.

 

1977 Holden LX Torana. My latest car, and finally, the Torana I've always wanted :D The build is on!
