    Just reread your Post. As a matter of fact I was 17 in 1983. :p

    You're just jealous, because you were named after your First Car. :D

    Hang on, I was going to say Holden Gemini, but you said it was unique. That's why I went with Opel.

    First car I paid for was my 1987 Corvette.

    Miss that car from time to time.

    We'll ignore the $500 1973 Toyota Corona that my parents got for me...

    Ha close! It's an Isuzu Gemini Coupe built with local Holden parts. Was never sold in Australia as a coupe so I built my own in 1982 (the things idle young minds do!). A few were also imported from Japan and used for racing.

    In what year did you get the Vette? Was it RHD when you got it? Do you still have it?

    I bought it in 05, was RHD and had been imported about 8-10 years before that (if I recall correctly).

    Conversion was done by Crossover Conversions, was actually a really nice job, but that model of C4 is pretty easy due to the symmetry of the dash.

    Sold it in 08 or 09 after I bought my ZX-6R Ninja and decided that it was too slow and didn't drive it as much anymore.

    (ZX-6R was later traded in for the Ducati 848)

    The first car my dad ever bought for me was a Ferrari. He's bought me a further 7 since. I'm going to die happy. Probably soon.

    Renault 4, a clever little car in its day. Famous(?) for having different wheelbases on each side...

    Speaking of russian cars - here's my first car (not this particular one in the photo, but mine looked pretty much the same)
    Moskvitch 412, was given to me by my dad
    Easily the worst car I have ever driven

    Will you join the Prius Club with PP?

    Are you going to talk about fuel economy ad nauseam like he does?
