What car do you own?
Thought it might be interesting to know what sort of cars we’ve got going around OZgolf (although I have been for rides in a few of them). I’m sure some of you are revheads (I am not), and would love the opportunity to talk about your current car, or a car you have owned.
I’m currently the proud owner of a Mazda6 wagon. Absolutely love this car, and think it looks fantastic, especially for a wagon. Another cool feature is the steptronic gears, so I don’t have to struggle with it being a gutless automatic, and can accelerate (or decelerate) and go through the gears like a manual.
Prior to this I owned a 1989 Nissan Skyline. I also loved this car, as it had a bit of power, but unfortunately it had to go before the baby arrived. The missus never really liked it either.
I’ve also got around in a 1985 Toyota Corolla. I still see this car around on the streets of the Sunshine Coast, and I know bugger all has gone wrong with it since I sold it. And it shouldn't, because it all went wrong when I had it.
Prior to that I drove a 1976 (or maybe 197 Holden Gemini. I killed it. Dad got it going again. Gave it to my brother. He killed it.

AU Falcon Ute.
Monday to Friday it's just a car that gets me to work. On the weekend it gets used like a real ute. I don't feel as embarassed as I used to reversing the Daihatsu Charade up to the green waste pile at the local dump.

I saw the smiley, and I hoped your comment was meant to be humerous but I couldn't understand what relevance it had to the forum topic. It's cool

I have a Tickford 1999 Ford Fairmont Ghia Sedan..... with all luxury appointments....ie, leather seats, air bags, 13 speaker sound system (includes a 8" subwoofer), 6 stack CD player, wood grain dash auto everything. It has racing suspension, 17" alloys with 235/45 series tyres. and a Tickford worked straight 6. This was all stock and was bought from a guy named Brian FORD about 12mths ago. I love this car........ is it obvious.....
Previous car was a 1987 Ford ZL Fairlane, before that was a Ford 1974 6cyl. Cortina.... Can you tell I'm a FORD Girl ??
My hubby has a Mitsushitty 1993 Magna wagon... it's on it's 3rd engine... we blew up the first, blew up the 2nd and now on the 3rd.... faulty heater gauges.... like I said, Mitsushitty......
Cheers
