    Do you remember the first car you fell in love with!

    1976 I was 10 years old the local blokes around Reservior Vic used to hang around my house on the account of my older sisters. One of them had a HQ station wagon lowered painted black. With the name on the back" Mr Midnight"I still remember it to this day.

    A Silver HQ GTS 350 that was on the way to my U10's footy training, it was lowered with really dark tint and had a smoked perspex bonnet bulge to cover the filter, it was the car that made me lust after HQ coupes and the reason i have one now.

Couldn't afford the resprayed hz ute a bloke had he felt sorry for me and gave me a hq panel van old six no windows so starred on it then got my first hq ute after I got sick of sanding those sides wish I'd had kept a few that I've stripped and wrecked now.

    I used to sit by the front gate at Primary school with my mates every morning to watch a purple LC GTR XU-1 driven by an old lady (she probably wasn't that old, but I was 10 or 11, everyone looked old!). I lusted after an XU-1 for years and eventually got one, then 2,3,4,5.....

    The Panel Van craze took hold of me before I was old enough to drive, and one of my coaches in my chosen sport had a green (Jamacian Lime?) HJ Sandman and used to drive me around everywhere. I loved that van and have loved them ever since. He was such a cool bloke, he let me borrow it when I got my licence to drive to a school dance. I think I had 8 mates in the back and was the king of the school when I turned up in a Sandman.
    I shot up the popularity list after that!

    I can't believe that was 37 years ago...........
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
