I had a ST141 Corona with a worked NA 3TGE for about 6 months, until a truckie decided to wipe it out :cry: sorry no pics for youse to laugh at but it had 14x7" MkII Supra rims, coilovers, decent brakes and a W50. It did Mt Panorama in 2:45.07 at about 3AM one time :roll: :oops:

Holden Astra... My Dad sprayed it Tiger Mica. 1.8L Stock (not too rice)
My first car.... I thrashed that car. Did a set of tyres in the first 2 weeks. went through 2 clutches, gearbox and a bottom end rebuild.

My Charger... Worked 265 Hemi, 4spd, Immaculate! (besides being "badged" at the back) Sold it for $7,500 to the first guy who saw it. Took him for a ride in it... Got back and he said... "I'll take". I so regret selling it...

actually those plates look familiar.. not sure about your initials, but the 2 letters followed by 100 on a red mustang.. do you know where it went?

Ummm, sold it due to a certain 3 year old being born and lack of use due to track car build up. Sorta needed the money, it wasnt being used and other interests taking some precedence. I still miss it, it was just a great car to drive. Very 60's and a slushbucket but the closest thing to driving a boat on the road you could get. Just very cruisy.

Maybe one day I will do a '66 Fastback with a nice 289, manual painted in 'Bullit' green :drool:

Thrash, no the car went to Nth QLD up around Mission Bay. Plates are now on wifes Exploder. I've worked around Nth Ryde for the past 7 years and used to drive it to work very frequently so depending on the timeframe that might have been me.

you used to drive that guzzler to work in peak traffic.. from down south to north ryde?? LOL..

How long ago did you sell it? I've been living in marsfield and working in north ryde for over 4 years now. Be quite a good coincidence if it was the same one i saw :)
