What's all that smoke behind your car?

Beautiful, Ian.

My first ride was a 1977 Ford F-350 Custom Dually with a 10 foot flatbed / stake body with a 351M with an NP 435 four speed stump puller transmission, I has learned to drive on this truck, and after I had gotten my driver's license, my father had given me this truck, and that's what got me hooked on the old Fords, especially the Dents, and had finally ended up with a 1978 F-150 Ranger Lariat Trailer Special with a 400 engine and a C6 automatic transmission

Don't have any pictures. Nothing cool or Ford unfortunately. My parents were Toyota people. Had a 94 red Landcruiser and a beautiful 94 T-100, black, single cab, long bed.

You're only 35? Hell, I thought you were way older....

It's because I act so mature!!

My first car was a 74 capri when I was 18.It was a 2.8 v6.
Loved it,pretty fast for a 6 stocker & a high performance webber
carb...
It look like this one,but mine was yella...

My first car was a hr Holden! Kinda similar to this, they have a 6 cylinder motor kinda like their cousins the Chevy 6, mine was a 186 cubic inch that I blew up and put a 202 cubic inch in! Learnt a lot with that car, not necessarily about cars!!

My paint was a crappy grey colour with no clear coat but very low and 13x8 wheels! Kinda cool for a 16 year old! I'm trying find pics of mine but can't, think mum has some!

I'm only kinda picking out my cars that meant a lot to me!
Somewhere in the mist of all this (I've had 40 plus cars) I had a hq Holden monaro! Big and little convo pros, 400 Chevy, t400 auto, 9 inch with 4.11s. Sold it to move my wife to Australia! Then the muscle car boom took off, guy I sold it to for 12500 sold it for 25k then that guy got 50k!!
Think this but cooler;

So, nothing like this?

My first......68 mustang GT convertible. Of course, back then, they weren't worth anything.
