The Cars of our lives.

These are the cars of my live...
These photos are all just off the web to show the type of car except for the last one, the ute, that's mine.
As a youngin I drove around in the back of one of these. I can remember helping my father bog it up, sand and spray paint it with cans of spray paint. Rust bucket.
Meanwhile this was the last car my father owned. Wrote it off by flipping down a NT highway.
He was what I would describe as "not your typical father" . Made it into the papers once..
He ended up getting a head bleed after a bar fight in Katherine and passing away from it. Seriously. He was good to his family however but still not average.
This is what my first car looked like... I had to strip the engine every six months and replace the head gasket... A known problem with this model.
Then I sold it to the wreckers and bought one of these.. Comfy but always ran hot...
Then I traded it in on one of these.. Good car but gutless... had to wind it up when overtaking.
Then fell on hard times. Homeless in Sydney.. slept in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park for a few weeks... and had to downgrade.
Traded that in on this. I bought it from "beats walkin' in Granville. It was one of those cars in the back of the lot and cost me more to roadworthy then it was to buy. But it was very reliable, I clocked prolly a 100k in that thing..
Saved the $$ and traded it on one of these.. I don't think there were many series 2 around. Came with free services. The only diference to other series was the yellow blinker behind the front wheel.. Orange whilst others were White. OK car but had its mech issues.
Finally traded it in on my latest ride... It is a 2013 but only done about 27k km so far, I try and keep it close to showroom as possible. No addons or anything...just tinted the windows.

I'd be a sad sad boy should it get written off, I'd hate to have to start again with something else! It's been in the bush, to the beach, in the mud, stuck half way up a tree, half drowned, has towed/winched out a bunch of different 4wd's but the best was a 2t Cruiser with a 4t boat suck in stupidly soft sand haha
