Haha today I was hitchiking about a hundred metres from an intersection, I had my thumb up at one point when a mini came round the corner and it took so long to get to me I had put my thumb down and walked about 20 metres.
Anyway, this is my first car:
Biggest piece of crap I owned yet it had something about it that I liked.
Had a two speed hondamatic box with Low and star as the choices. Had really bad electrical problems and the dash light fuse kept blowing and so neither the tail lights or dash lights ever worked. The CV joints were rooted and the car would sometimes become really unstable which caused me to crash on many occasions, had a blown head gasket and ran on three cylinders, the radiator fan didnt work and would overheat going up hills and in traffic.
Despite all this I still kinda in a way sort of miss it.
It ended its life being paddock raced down the waimak river road up near gorge bridge. We rolled it a few times then blew the gearbox sump bung out and boiling transmission fluid spilled on the ground causing a wee grass fire. We left it there and came back less than 24 hours later to find it gone. I was confused and didnt find it again till about 9 months later when I was walking through a paddock after another paddock racer broke down near the same area.
