1970 Mercedes Benz 220 sedan
1996 Holden Commodore acclaim wagon
1971 Ford Falcon 500 sedan

then benz was a bloody good buy, 300 bux and you couldn't kill it, the thing just went and went, way ahead of its time too; 4 wheel discs, ohc, plus all manner of exciting little doo dads. then theres always the pulling power of a classic merc, it was always good cos they never beleived i owned a mercedes, won a few bets that way. i still reckon old mercs are the best value used car you can get, but don't ever try and get a genuine replacement part!!! only one thing broke on that car and it was the indicator stick, replacement from germany was going to be 4 times what i payed for the car! so it went to the wreckers :(

commodore is soulless, but keeps running even with 320 thousand on the clock

Falcon is one of my passions
