That car did surprise a few ricers in lancers and civics back in the day. It was one of the first "fuel injected" engines and had pretty good torque and low gearing.

Old school Opel Vectra in MT. I did my first massive *unintentional* burnout in it... with the entire family in the car lol.

Yes Sir - in my case, that pic is even the right colour.

Ours was a Premier - very flash

And to think I used to give my best mate a bad time because he had to suffer the indignity of learning on, and subsequently driving his folks "Walient".

What I didn't appreciate back then was that is was an E38 (lucky bugga).

I've always had a good eye for cars --- NOT!

Mine was Municipal Council White..lol

I was a 1st year apprentice at the local council and drove the council ute for my test..

Funny though, my brother had a Torana LJ GTR in that colour of your HQ..

IT would be the same colour - mine was the standard holden green.
My brother had the yellow one (my father was cruel and he chose our first cars)

I dreamed of having the G Pack. 6 cylinders. Luxury.

Actually it was luxury..
The Torana bucket seats where comfy, matched up to the 202 with the 4 speed gearbox..

My seats were black vinyl with green vinyl stripes. Horrid looking and sticky as in the QLD heat.
First mod I did was to fit some grey cloth seat covers.
The only other seat covers I ever bought were some custom fitted sheepskin ones in my Pajero.
At the time I wondered why you could not buy leather seat covers... but of course, now you can.

Mine where black vinyl with like a corded black inlay/insert..

It was my first car with air cond back in 1982 I think... massive contraption bolted under the dash, the size of a modern day, house split system...

I purchased, when I had to sell my beloved LJ GTR XU1 (308 V8.. and street legal ) to purchase my first house at 22 years young..

First drive was in an e39 528i, I was so nervous I forgot to put my seatbelt on...

robzilla1 · 05-13-2012, 06:59 AM

I learned on an old F150 circa about 1985 or so. It was an auto, and I learned to drive on part of my grandfathers property we called the field. It was about 10 acres that had a walking path bushhogged out that we maintained. Over the years it became so wide that you could easily drive a truck around it and so that was where I learned.
