it was my sisters first car then she rear ended a jeep, then it sat out back for 6 months and i got some plans together and restored it + some..

[Ke50]

got one for free off dads mate. then my next door neighbours sisters boyfriend noticed it in the driveway and came over and told me his mate had one that he would sell, and i ended up getting that one for 400 bucks. and so on and so forth. we have a ke50 made from bits of two cars.

Drifting! Got me into rollas cheap easy to work on, mates that have rollas and sprinters look that look nuts so i bought an ae71 my first and only rolla so far. But my mates ke30 is even better, just coz its got a 1j supra engine in it lol serious

it started off 910 years ago my brother bought a T-18 i had no idea what it was really but i liked it, my brother drove it them my sister and then i got it (good old hand me downs), i stated liking it, but not knowing much about it it wasnt the best thing ever then my friend Ke30king had a carolla and it got me interested, then i got into them something shocking! i got signed onto toymods, and that started everying. thats when i started learning everything about them, i ended up getting another one for 250 buck, as a project car, but its still sitting in the driveway the same way i left it a year ago, just gotta get the money, 8 months after that one i bought 2 more (500 Bucks, 250 each), well ended up i have stopped driving the old hand me down and i changed into another one in better condition, the one i used to drive is now going to be crushed, my white one i bought with the one i am now driving is almost raady to get registered, and that it basical the life on my T-18's

my old man had a ke70 when i was a kid, loved them ever since, had 5 and 1/2 ke70's in 3 years. still got 2 and 1/2

 

my 1/2 ke70 has got a bbq in the boot compartment. its bloody awsome.

[Corolla_Kid]

Well it started off when my dad and i started to look at cars for my first ride (bout 3 years ago now) we came accross a decent ke70 going cheap with a pretty much rust free body. So a respray by a mate on the weekend and it was looking tip-top. After learning to drive in it and basic tinkering, learnign from my dad as we replaced a lot of things and fitted a stereo and just generally tidied it up. From there i havent stopped ive owned 5 already and I'm only 17 :)

Wanted first car to be cheap on fuel, light weight and rwd. Corolla is all that and more.

Bought a red KE70 for $1300 from a car yard, however, wrote it off on my L's, lost my authoritah to drive for 6 months, as well as being stoney broke. However, the mighty rolla came to my rescue yet again. After once saving my life from a marauding eucalypt, the destroyed car then earned me $150 as a wreck. Corolla gods smiled again when some stoners decided to sell me their overrated KE30 for $400!!! And it wasn't even stolen!!! Stupid bastards. I love my rolla.

[Valandor]

i had a xf fairmont ghia that i got sick of the size of it and the fuel consumstion.

 

traded it in for a ke70 straight swap.

 

i was aways a fan of the sprinter and had wanted one for ages.

 

then i found out about the ke70 and how good they are.

[angostura]

my dad bought me a ke55 when i was 17, he spent 3 months of days off rebuilding the engine, it was 99% rust free with smicko interior, then i hit a tree, he was pissed, got a n15 pulsar atm but hope to be 'getting back to my roots' soon. ke70 with either 7k efi (if it fits straight in)otherwise 4age.
