Hi,

Just started posting, good topic to start with so here goes;

1976 Triumph 2500TC
1979 Mitsubishi Celeste - written off, A Cortina ran over it like Lomu over Catt - close call for me - minor whiplash
1983 Mazda Famila XGI Turbo (great little car, black, digi dash and a sunroof and all elecs - should have hung on to this mini KITT)
1986 Holden Commodore GTS 3.3 Efi - another regretful sale, rare in that it had the 4 spoke VL Momo wheel and disc brake rear end - too thirsty when I wasn't on a lot of $$$$ .....
1985 Mitsubishi Cordia Turbo 4x4 (rare now, this one was stolen)
1985 Mazda RX7 Turbo (Very fast car)
1990 Nissan Skyline GTS-4 Coupe (Fully optioned, this one was stolen as well .... a but of a pattern here, 4x4 Turbo's getting pinched)
1989 Nissan Skyline GTS-T Coupe - gave it to my dad when I moved to Aussie
2000 Mitsubishi Diamante 3.5 (My work car around NSW)
2003 Ford Mondeo Ghia - Work Car on my return to NZ
2005 Holden Commodore SV6 - Work Car
2006 Holden Commodore SV6 - Work Car
2000 E39 BMW 525i AC Schnitzer - Genuine ACS Improved - Just a Magic car to drive, this one puts out 183kw from it's 2494cc Twin Vanos Six, have seen off an MSport 328i easilly in this (and still own it)
1990 Opel Vectra GT - this little roughy (which still goes surprisingly well) replaces our VW Passat 1.8T Wagon which was too expensive to keep fixing

Thats it pretty much, a few of these are worth alot more than when I had them now

[127 Gordo]

74 Mini 1000
AP5 (or 6) Valiant ute
about eight or nine Chevettes - still got one and heaps of parts
Opel Calibra - 5sp Redtop - and their reputation is well deserved!!
