As you'll see, I had a bit of a love affair with Ford Cortina's
When I was 19 I bought a 2 litre Ford TC Cortina sedan.
I ended up writing that off in a huge bingle near Stanthorpe.
I then bought a 4.1litre Ford TD Cortina. sedan with a vinyl roof.
This was stolen one night when I went to the movies at Penrith.
My next Ford Cortina was a 4.1 litre TE Station wagon, light bronze colour.
Traded that in on a 3.3 litre TE Cortina Station wagon, this one was bright orange.
That one stayed with an ex-girlfriend (Barbara) when I left.
My next car was a 3.3 litre Ford TF Cortina Station wagon.
This one was nicknamed "The Blue Lemon", everything went wrong with that car.
Got rid of it at a huge loss.
That was so I didn't have to store it when I went to the USA in 1987.
When I married, (middle of 1987), I bought my first Holden Commodore.
It was a white 1983 station wagon, not a great car, went really rusty, really fast.
Left that one with my ex-wife (Cheryl).
When I was newly single, I bought the single worst car of my life.
I was a 3.3 litre Ford Cortina station wagon and it cost $500 from the side of the road in Nundah. Barely roadworthy and Rosalie wouldn't ride in it.
My girls had little choice, sorry for that girls.
Then I had a white 2.4 litre (I think) Toyota Camry Station wagon.
I cooked the motor on that and had to replace it.
Nearly cooked it a second time later on.
Next was a blue 2.4 litre (I think) blue Toyota Camry Sedan
This one did quite a few trips, before it developed terminal oil leaks and overheating issues.
Sold at auction when I bought the Falcon.
