Koffee_Kosmo My first car was an EH Holden slightly hotted up with a mild cam,carbie, mags I then sold it to finance a purchase of a Bedford Van to be hotted up with an amazing paint job Unfortunately I have lost the photos but you would have been amazed at the finished job Then I went on to an Alfa Romeo Sud TI (Yes that's me as a young bloke in the photo) [attach=1] Then for a short time a Lotus Elan just like this one in the photo While I had the Lotus it was driven on weekends and during the week I drove a 1970 Hillman Hunter It has the distinction of winning that years London to Sydney rally ;D Then I met the future wife and sold the Lotus to drive her new Escort Ghia with RS200 specs Soon after we were traveling back and forth From Brisbane to Newcastle and Sydney so needed a good traveling car, so we got an old Mercedes formally owned by a Doctor in Toowoomba Then went to 520I BMW Then came a Volvo, Toyota Camry, Subaru, Honda Accord Wagon and Jazz Must have been a couple of cars vans that I cant recall in between Currently own 4 Cars Toyota Yaris, Mitsubishi Colt, Honda Jazz, Diahatsu Charade Ohh I forgot my first and only bike Honda 125 cc KK

XxDavexx Ah this thread brings back fond memories of my first ride: my beloved acura integra! Think i'm gona make myself a chai milk tea now:")
Chris_Stuffa Wow I just looked at this thread and the Kingswood in Richards' post is the exact same car as my first, same colour as well. Although I'm positive my car wouldn't have lasted till 2002 as I gave it a fair hiding. My first bike was a Ducati Desmo 450 single cylinder followed by a Bonnie 750, Harley Low Rider then a few Jap bikes. I recently imported a 2011 Heritage softail from the states which should see me through.

C-man I doubt their would be many to own their first car at the tender age of 12 yep, I was coming back from my paper delivery on collection day when I passed a petrol station with an old beat up convertible, maybe a 40 something or early 50s Desoto with a sign on it "$50 Runs" I emptied out my pockets with something like 30 odd dollars and the guy took it, I was so small he gave me an old thick phone book to sit on, I could just see but could not reach the peddles! So my little brother laid on the floor and worked them with his hands and we chucked the bike in the back and drove it home. My mom came out as it made one hell of a noise and asked what it was? my fist car I said she said well then put it in the garage as it looks bad, so I did.
