Ford Cortina Mk 5 - 1981 — Another Ford rot - box, well mine was, but it was quite old when I bought it. Nothing great about the car, but nothing really bad about it either. Decent mileage, never broke down, average family car. Looked quite good for the time though.

Primary Use: Family transportation

My First Car — Was my first car! Cost me $700 in 1997. Blue sedan, 4 door, dark blue. It was awesome! We blew the head doin skids in a paddock on a mates orchard at Fernhill! Great first car, well built and if I had looked after it properly instead of bein a teenager, Old Bluey would probably be still running.
