[Sprintey]

Had metallic purple HJ wagon, HZ wagon, XW wagon - they were all wonderful. M&D had a Renault 12 wagon, VR wagon (timing sender unit adventures) and VY wagon which they still have - great car.

Space to fit all the gear, good on road comfort, handling came second.

My fav moments: taking the HJ up to Lancelin and putting the boards under the car and sleeping in it, waking up to be first out in the surf on those crisp offshore winter mornings. The XW doing a Brand Hwy run in 45 degree heat, just floating along the road with the Windsor burbling along and the AC pushing out at -1. Borrowing Dad's VY for a Goldfields work run and all rules stopped just out of the last town while following a WRX, Evo Lancer and SS - while I couldn't keep up with them the wagon just cruised beautifully with all my work gear at a lesser warp factor. A further adventure was a VZ hire car wagon from Darwin to Katherine going 145-155, I'd been told the semi trailers ran you down if you weren't going 150 but I think the hire desk staff were having a lend.
