My dad had a Plymouth and then a FJ.

Not sure of the model but it looked like this.

The next car was a XP falcon.

We had some gooduns.

VJ 340SE Charger e55, 307 HK Monaro, Mazda RX4, XW Ford Futura with a sunroof and no laws saying you could not stand up through it. I guess they were compensation for the Austin and Vauxhall Victor we had when I was really young.

Dad bought this '76 Mustang II used a few years after it was released. That was the only ever sports car he ever bought. He was far too practical for that kind of thing.

The HK Monaro and the RX4 were my mum's cars. The XW and VJ were my dad's.

We did have a dak dak(VW beetle) before those too. It would be a fight between us kids as to who got to sit in that little space behind the back seat.

Dad said this was his first car after uni. I never saw it, of course. The Corvair was known to be "unsafe at any speed."

Your dad just didn't know how to kick start it. If a carrot in front of it's head doesn't work, jam it in the exhaust.
