Interesting that you mention Moggies.  Not my perfect car by any means
but they were built much better than Mitsu****ies. You could even sit
on the bonnet of one of them and have a beer without denting the metal
work.  The paintwork of those things didn't fade in the sun within 2
years either.

At the time I got my license  they were an easy car to tune and they
were plentiful and cheap.  The most common performance  modification
was to remove the moggy engine and replace it with a Holden 6
cylinder.  With a set of 'widies' (widened wheels) and bigger brakes
they flew like **** off a shovel.
