Datsun 180U SSS

 

Affectionately known as the "Cripple Es".   Was fairly quick though for it's age.....

 

And then that got replaced later by a 1600 Stanza Station Wagon.  With a hot cam, a MAUS flowed head, twin Hitachi's and a 5-speed reverse-H gearbox.

 

And a curtain in the back window

White 1972 Fiat 125

First new car my dad ever bought and stayed in the family. Drove it for my first year through varsity. 

1.6 double overhead cam pushing about 70kW to the back wheels. 

Was stock standard when I started driving it around 1996 apart from the carb (replaced the solex with a lekker weber.

 

I loved that car...

1973 BMW 2002 CS (I think) - automatic. complete piece of **** but was awesome. Then a Golf GTS.

After Varsity got a yellow ford escort 1600. Loved that thing. Mate had a mazda 323 hatch, that was also fun to drive.

 

Funny, the mini and the 323 are two cars I would not mind owning today

First Hilux which came out in SA.  1500cc and steering wheel gear change.  That vehicle was 12yrs old when I sold it for R500.00

Yip. I Can't find a pic of it right now but it was this exact shape. Not a GT, the standard model with 10 inch steel rims and chrome hub caps.

1984 BMW 320i that I appropriated from my dad in '95 or '96 after my motorbike packed up.  He owned a motor workshop and somehow ended up with the car through that. Body work was a complete dog - rusting, duct tape over holes in the roof, one door didn't open, trim missing etc. but the engine and chassis were in good nick... Was an absolute beaut to drive!

1976 Ford Cortina XLE (Big Six). Still miss that car.

My first car was a 1982 model Audi 5S.  Was a brilliant car.  Served me well before written off by someone who did not quite understand the concept of red traffic lights.

Funny to think that at the time you mostly thought your cars were ***, but MOST of the cars listed here would make such cool retro mobiles now!

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

1984 Mini 1275e with GTS upgrades and slight overbore with a fast cam. 

 

Sold it for a ticket to the UK and some spending money. Man, I miss that thing...
