Datsun 100A

Datsun 100A
Christine did not like this car, a Datsun 100A which I bought new for her in 1975. She complained a lot about the front suspension noise because it was a front wheel drive! The engine was only one litre and it had no air conditioner! The only plus point was the child proof door lock for the rear doors. The children were still very young and this small car was the ideal family car for us then.



Austin Healey Sprite
I was driving an old Austin Healey Sprite. We became a two car family! I also kept my Honda 175 motor cycle which I used mainly for entertaining the kids on my days off from working as trainee driller on the oil rigs.

They also love rides in the convertible which I used mainly for going to the golf course in the early 80's. I was working on the oil rigs; doing a one week ON and one week OFF schedule. Plenty of time for me to play golf in the early 80's.

Later, after I retired in NZ, I went back to playing golf 4x a week in Hamilton. Life is great because this time all the golf courses are at temperatures in the low 20's; almost like air conditioned courses compared to those in Miri.
