I wouldn’t class myself as a ***Rev Head***, but I do love working on, driving and looking at cars of all makes and models.

# Past

**1972 Valiant Charger 265** – My first car. Wish I still had it. Always thought that I would get another one, but the current prices for them and any of my old cars now is just crazy!

**1970 Ford Capri** – This car got rebuilt after being run into by a drunken moron, It then got stolen when I left it at Carousel. I should have kept it but foolishly let the Insurance company take it for a buggar all in return.

**1974 Chrysler Galant** – Got this one of my parents, and in between car that I had for some time until I managed to seize the block.

**1970 Valiant Regal** – I bought this one from my Boss at Chicken Treat for $300. The intention was to part it out and make some money. I ended up driving it until it died then got it removed by a scrap dealer.

**1974 Holden LH Torana 253** – My first V8. Would love to get another one, but again the prices are just insane.

**197? Ford Escort** – My Uni Car. Not much to look at but cheap to run on a students income.

**1984 Holden VK Commodore** – Got this one off Audrey and Tony. Ended up trading it in on the VS.

**1995 Holden VS Commodore** – Car I bought the first my first year out of Uni working at SGIO. Sold this one to by the TJ.

**1967 MGB** – This one was Andrea’s and not mine. Great car for the weekend drive, but kind of horrible at any other time. I regret selling it as it would have made a great project car.

**2003 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L** – Great little run around. Loved it so much that when it came time to replace it we got the Jetta.

**2006 Volkwagen Jetta 2.0 TFSI** – Fantastic Car, unfortunately had to hand it back when I changed jobs. Lucky thing as some Mutt had spewed in it weeks before and totally destroyed the new car smell.

# Current

\*\*\[!\[TJ\]

**2002 Jeep TJ Wrangler** – My Toy. My first new car, and now the car that I have had the longest.

**2001 Jeep WJ Grand Cherokee Limited** – Andrea’s Jeep. 4.7L V8 most probably not the smartest car to have as a daily driver, given the cost of fuel, but hey *“It’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand!”*

# Future/Wishlist

[Alfa Romeo 159](http://www.alfaromeo.com.au/159) – *molto bella.* I’m slowly working away at Andrea on this one.

[Aprilia RSV 1000 R](http://aprilia.com.au/rsvr07.html) – The only way Andrea would let me get one is if we win Lotto. Too many idiots out there driving cars anyway. I can still dream though.
