« on: January 27, 2016, 01:34:00 PM »
get home from work to find some old boxes of stuff that were in storage at the parents house sitting on the door step.
 
sorting through the stuff and found this (see pic)

the original receipts for
my first 2nd and third car

You ask "OMG How Old Am I",   I would have to say not very.
The photo's of my first car are black and white, we had no colour photography in those days. Bright red and white trimmed Morris Majors don't look as good in greyscale, and they never went fast enough for speeding fines.
And no copy of a drivers test, the theory was all verbal.

I got my first drivers licence in QLD in 1972. Cost me $4.00 for a 10 year licence..
My last renewal (NSW) cost me $87.00 for a 5 year licence, with 50% discount for being a really good driver  ;D with no demerit points (thanks QLD  :police:    ;D ). but it also includes my boat licence.
4.2L TD Toyota Troopy, (Clarke's Country Camper Trailer, softfloor.) sold it and bought a Avan Ray small poptop caravan.

That red dragster looks familiar - do you know if it was one of the Tucker brother's ones?

no idea sorry.
i think the pic were from about 1992, taken in front of what is now the strathpine library QLD,
back then it may have been a video store grand opening

i had some other pics will have a look for the name

The FJ F/C is Randall Mohr's. Don't know if he owned it back then though.
