Had to go and pick up a company car from Armidale after the rep took crook, the distribution manager said we'll take my car.



So I fronted up next morning and no bloody manager or so I thought, went in had a brew and asked were his company XD was, "at home, not taking that heap of s hit that far". now to be honest the GM was a tight ar sed mongrel and everyone except directors got the mighty gas guzzling 3.3 ltr sedan or wagon, some were lucky and has swapped for XC sedans (4.1) before the others knew what was coming.


So off we go with me driving "as ya might as well get use to driving a performance vehicle, I shut up, (I drove an LC XU1 to work) and just drove. Now it wasn't anything on the Torana in performance, but by the time we hit Singleton via the Putty Rd I had a lot of respect for that little wog box. It handled, rode beautiful (mind you anything was comfy after the Torana) stopped on a dime and we didn't stop for fuel till after Tamworth.



Yep, great touring car a lot like my Volvo 242GT, but not as comfy as my best mates brother 125S Fiat that he purchased for $600 at 4 years old. So that is my car that being pig headed about only buying Aussie I missed out on some fun runs.


Another car I enjoyed driving was a Clubman GT, mate owned the Mini Shop in Kingswood and knew everything there was to know about Minis except how to drive em hard. So every time a speed trial or track day with the SDCC was on Tezza got to drive it. Have some pics somewhere of me going through BP at Oran park on 3 wheels. Even got free driving tuition from Mick O'Hare and Don Holland.



The good ol days.
