1. VW Golf 1979 Diesel - Very much Hitlers revenge. Was the first one into the country and apparently they stripped it down, and had a few parts left over. After 100km it died. Had bought it off mum and dad cause didn't have any cash. Crashed into a Learner driver in a V8 Falcon, who planted the accelerator instead of the brake pedal on a side street. Next minute smack. Car was written off, bought wreck, stretched it back again, and back on the road. Was paid to keep it when parents traded it in on a Nissan. Most profitable car yet. Made $AU3k out of it.
2. LandCruiser Diesel Wagon - Used this when I was at uni. Awesome awesome car. Had 1 million km on it when it got traded in for the VN. A couple of seals on the hubs changed, and shocks, but that was it. Engine ran like a dream. Think it had to do with adding a litre of high detergent diesel oil to fuel every 4 tanks. Was called the shaggin truck at uni.
3. Commodore VN - Got to 360,000km before it got sent to the scrap yard. Had it for 14 or so years. Was an awesome car, didn't hold it's value very well though. Needed a new transmition but was way to expensive and more than the car was worth. Got paid to keep it again when got the VX.
4. Commodore VXII. Love this car. Wish it had a few extra cylinders, but just love it to death. Got 110,000km on it, and still goes well, with no major issues except alternator going.

jagsy, is that a Camaro?
I know we're all into motors from down-under, but driving upside down is a bit extreme isn't it
BTW: Hope all parties involved as safe and well
Is was a Camaro! And I've had the doun under car joke a few times
No one was injured, and we were all in the car - scary moment
