Who remembers?

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

My mate had a 323 2.0 EGI - that thing was pretty rapid - almost scary

I went looking for a small run around a few years ago. Thought I'd get another Mini and revive some of the fond memories of my youth. Would be a cool project as well.

 

Not many available to start with, then I saw the prices    Decidedly average examples were going for around R30k....

Mine was just like this.

 

Lasted 3 month, before I wrapped it around 2 lampoles and Midas sign, right in front of the police station in Strand. with my new found respect for safety, I then bought something much safer, a 20v Corrola RSI

My sister had a Polo Classic like that, also in red. She got it as a wedding present. Can't remember if she had the 1.4 or 1.6.

My first road bike, it took a lot for me get a Suzuki, but the SA TZR in those days didn't have a fairing and looked ***.

Anyone remember the ad campaign? "Who's that guy in the EGI?!"

Moved to the big smoke in 84 and my first stop was Arnold Chatz in Craighall who were running a special on these...

What a car
