Hello and Welcome Back… If there was a year that changed my Life, 1991 was that year…
After Beating Death, Twice, in 1989, (Read Here) i didn’t think life could get any more complicated…
Three things happened in 1991
1. Brought my first car
2. Left home
3. Moved in with my first real girlfriend
1. I finally brought my first car, it was a brand new 1991 Hyundai Excel Sprint… Aka.. Bloody death trap.
But it was my first car after relying on a mountain bike all my life. It was zippy, could pull a decent burnout (using the handbrake) and it had heaps of room.
The problem was, that even know it cost me nearly $16,000, it was bloody cheap.
Cheap plastic ruled. It only had one mirror on the drivers side, so none on the passenger side and tyres were as shit as you could get…
One dark wet night near Wollongong, I managed to skate my way across 4 lanes of highway and crapping the undies along the way…Not good for someone who just lived through a nasty car accident
I was to replace this heap later in 1992 with a 5Ltr Holden Commodore (more on that in 1992).
My First Car..1991 Hyundai Excel Sprint
2. Left Home for the first time…
I had an itch, mostly to break free… I now had a car and wanted to get out and enjoy the world..
As fate would have it, my Nan & Grandad were having problems with a unit they had rented in the outer suburbs of Campbelltown, a place called Ambravale… so i decide i would take over, move out (to the horror of my mother) and have a place to myself…
i was to find out why my grandparents where having such a problem with this place…
A certain neighbor was giving them grief.. but didn’t worry me because getting up at 3am and getting home around 6pm for work, i was never home…Winning
3. The best part of my story…
I met my first real girlfriend, her name was Jodie Horne… She was funny, beautiful and full of life, in fact, she kept me on my toes. I often would ask myself “whats a stunning beautiful girl like this doing with a nobody like me”…
Towards the end of 1991, she moved in with me in my dinky little flat…
It was such an amazing feeling, to come home from work and have my stunning girlfriend waiting for me.. pure magic.
We would go for drives for hours on end, go anywhere and often driving till sunrise..
Music played a big part of this experience, as the radio was playing while we drove here, there and everywhere.
Alot of the songs on this Mixtape,was when Jodie was by my side..
1991 for me, was exciting, scary, magic, fun and had amazing music. For once in my Life, Life was Good
