Boy Racer

The car was bought on the 21st March, 1985 at a place called Gibsons Car Care in Standish, the guy had a body shop and he was honest about the car having a new front end on it.

It was around a thousand dollars below book price, but I was buying risk, which the guys at APPH reminded me of a lot in the first few weeks, they were right of course, but the excitement of the car was immense.

There were a couple of minor problems in the first two weeks, bonnet latch and a tickover problem which was an electronic module, but the car was behaving itself.

The car was a distraction from the mundane aspects of my life, it would provide a lot of fun and excitement over the five months that I owned it...
