    Same colour as this, and with the same blinds.

    You blokes are making me feel quite old. The first car I had in Thailand was a well used Holden EH ute. Hard to imagine now that there was a time in Thailand without Japanese pickup trucks. Moved up a bit in the company and had (what I think was) an EH sedan. I remember it had a 179 badge on the back, does that sound right? Both of them had retrofitted air conditioners with piston compressors and overheated all the time in Bangkok traffic.

    My father had a thing for German cars and this is the first car we had after being posted fro Thailand to Lebanon. The one in Thailand was also a Merc but with a green roof . . . can't find it at the moment. Ah yes, my brother and me. (I'm the little one)




    Nice thread, Backspin.

    Our families second car was a Riley Elf.




    Basically, a souped up Mini. Dad was real proud of it. After the Ford Consul, I hated it. Too cramped in the back. Seven year old me was never slow to remind him I liked the old car better. The (vinyl) upholstery was red, but same exterior colour as above.

    The first car I ever bought for myself. It was used. I loved it. Same color as in this pic.
