krisb Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 RX2 had 2 of those, and a Mini Cooper. Still love the Minis but got to big and fat to get in and out.

But agreed ... 'tis a fine car. OH ... had a huge history with the Mini's ... but it was mate who owned them. Cut my teeth working on them. And yes, he did have a (copy) one in BRG with a white roof, 1,275 motor and those ROH mags plus duel tanks. Apparently you could bore them out to 1,310cc and the NSW cops had a few as their pursuit cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The piston walls became thin at that point but they were fun. Twin su carbs on them. 1 of the only cars you took the car out of the engine not the engine out of the car.

David48 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Must have been my '64 Mustang Convertible; back in Canada's Edmonton. Very cold winters, but what a super-cool ride . . . . I have to admit, I'm not an American car fan, Shelby Cobra 2nd and that shape Mustang, maybe a year or two later ... I'd 'pony' up for. A classic design which has stood the test of time ...

David48 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 While admiring the Alpha from that era ... what I never understood was how the 4 door ever got to production ... it's so fugly ... Baby Poo Yellow wasn't it's finest colour ... . Same model and colour as MINE ... Alpha Romeo 1750 GTV Coupe' And the 1967 Spyder ... like the Mustang in the post above ... a shape which is still attractive today. All variants of the same model by a year or two..

Shurup Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 My 1st was a Ford Probe GT 1989 2.2L turbo - a fun sports car Then I had an 86 Camaro - still love that style and will buy and restore one... when I get old and have time for that Also another memorable one was a Chrysler Lazer, don't remmeber what year it was but again, it was a 2.2L Turbo, my buddy a turbo expert, worked on it and the car had a huge modified turbo installed into it, I had a hard time keeping the wheels on the ground!

umbanda Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 My first older car in 1964 was a VW bug 1958 with rag roof, and after that, my first brand new car, a FIAT 125 1971 coupe I drove to "fly" around. Expert car people says..."Cars are like women....German cars are boring... but last forever...Italian cars do not last forever...but are fun!"

Is it a Renault Todd? It was - Renault Le Car & it was that awful colour as well I even named it - had somthing to do with ones nose. After family & friends ridiculed me for months it eventually died & I've bought silver Volvo's ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
