Mine was a 1989 Citroen AX GT. Great little thing but developed a hole in the chassis and bits regularly fell off. Went like stink though.

1979 T reg mini in 1992.

Customised by myself with bucket seats, carb, inlet manifold, exhaust etc. It went pretty good.
Orange pool ball gear knob to match colour "borrowed" from local bar.
Go faster stripes & spot lights.
Went lots of places in that car. Including windsurfing.

XT Falcon wagon. Straight six, three on the tree. My dad had bought it as a labourers hack for his pool business and he gave it to me when turned 17 in 1982. It was battered to say the least. Brakes didnt work and it flooded 2/3 times I tried to start it. I didnt like the colour so took to it with a can of Dulux - two inch brush for the fine detail and a six incher for the panel work. Despite all this I was the only one with a car and it ferried me and my mates between Brisbane and Gold Coast every weekend for two years. It died properly one morning so I pushed it onto the footpath at the end of our street and left the keys in it. It stayed there for six weeks and then one morning, it was gone. Like this one same windshield sun shade and everything.

as per peteimpreza, it was a Citroen GSA, with roll-back canvas sunroof.

FAS 248 X. Bought (through dealer) from local head teacher -not mine, thankfully.

It was a hoot, 1300cc I think, air cooled hydraulic suspension. Good capacity, could be hand started with the wheel brace, mental controls. Why I swapped it for my dad's BX I'll never know and always regret.
