We'd just pull up to the flat of the girl, because there was no...

No mobile phones and no working out where they were.

So you'd pull up to the girl's flat who you like and say, look, just doing a fire inspection, coming in your suit.

And then once you're in a room, you could read what lectures and where.

So you could accidentally be in the right place at the right time.

How much was the fire engine?

Oh, mate, it was cheap.

They were all cheap.

Because what we'd do is we'd go to Turner's Auctions.

I bought my first car, Ford Falcon 1971 XY, sky blue.

But you'd take all the plugs and points off and put them, you know, skew if.

So the thing would be going backfiring.

Our one got pushed onto the stage.

We'd take it around the block and driven it and then change all the points.

So we got that for $1,100.

It was a bloody beautiful car.

We won the three on the tree, 4.1 litre crossflow engine.

We won the Sinclair drag and that.

The students used to get together and see which was the fastest car at varsity.

And you had to take like, at about 100k, you had to take two big judder bars.
