Just flicking through some old photos on my phone. She used to be so clean and straight 😢 #k11msca #k11march #k11micra #nissanmicra #nissank11 #nissanmicrak11 #micrasportsclubaustralia #charlottek11 https://www.instagram.com/p/CFKD9xTnqfI/?igshid=rbmdonp8s6pw

Circa June/July(?) 2004 after transfering rego of my first ever k11 into my name.. "Skittles" a 1995 lx was bought as deceased estate off a guy out near Strathalbyn who'd inherited it of his Aunt or Mum or something. It had just clicked over 48,000km, had full service history, and apart from the front drivers side guard being slightly lighter red (I think because the old lady had knocked into something and had it touched up) it was immaculate and true granny spec even all 4 hub caps were unmarked. Amazing for a 10yo car and $3,800 purchase price. I kept it for the next 4 years as it was, even retaining the cassette deck, just regularly servicing it and getting new tires and passenger side CV joint until around 100,000km before selling to my sister and upgrading to Charlotte. My sister had it until ~140,000km(?) when the timing chain broke and f'ed the whole engine. She had a cheap second hand engine installed then traded it in on a mid 2000s Suzuki Swift which she's only just sold 2 weeks ago. I like to think that Skittles is still in one piece and being loved somewhere even if it's not registered. Rego VUC 174 from memory... #k11msca #k11micra #k11march #nissanmicra #nissanmarch #nissank11 #grannyspec https://www.instagram.com/p/BzR2SsJg5hQ/?igshid=14x0w3z1ao5wu

#TBT to June 2009, Charlotte sitting in the cold fog and drizzle at my uncle's house in the Adelaide Hills. I'd had this K11 for a round 6 to 8 months at this point. #adelaidehills #k11msca #k11march #k11micra #nissanmicra #nissanmarch #nissank11 #charlottek11 https://www.instagram.com/p/By66waMgbbf/?igshid=t7k4f8sv64qi

Also headed down to u-pull-it again and pulled some of the easy to pick parts of a couple cars.. some of the mounts on Charlotte's headlights broke in the accident so the ones I got today are a lot better. The fitting in Charlotts drivers side clear indicator is all rusted and corroded so will swap it out with the orange ones electrics. Will also need to check the part numbers on the licence plate lamps but I suspect they are the same as the Jap k11 nipple style lamps. The ones I got came off a 1997 R50 Pathfinder 🤞#micrak11 #marchk11 #nissanmicrak11 #nissank11 #k11msca #micrasportsclubaustralia #nissanpathfinder #r50pathfinder #charlottek11 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByhXRsGACqk/?igshid=1p0l4u7hibj1n

Had a look back over Charlotte today to remind myself where things aren't aligning and what bolt on replacements I need to get. Already have new bonnet hood and tailgate, so will fit those and try massage the front end so that the bonnet will close. The back end I think will need to be done professionally 😒 but I do want it done properly so 🤷‍♂️ it is what it is. #micrak11 #marchk11 #nissanmicrak11 #nissank11 #k11msca #micrasportsclubaustralia #charlottek11 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByhQyw0gJuv/?igshid=107dj8nac772e

The first post for a new account so it's kind of fitting on throwback Thursday to share the oldest photo I can find amongst my pics of Charlotte... This one dates back to 5th Feb 2006 when micra.com.au member "Yom" still owned her and was selling off the 15x6 ROH Adrenaline (?) Shadow Chrome wheels. Bare with me the next few weeks as a lot of the first run of photos will probably be me uploading the collection of old ones I have 🤷‍♂️ #k11micra #micrak11 #nissanmicra #micrasportsclubaustralia #k11msca #tbt #charlottek11 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByX3UVjA-D4/?igshid=1x40pe3b7irgy

Nissan TJ4 Electric Blue 👌 Depending on the angle and the light can look blue, or purple or a combination of both with teal & purple pearl 😍 #nissanmicra #nissanmarch #nissanmicrak11 #k11micra #k11msca #micrasportsclubaustralia #nissan #charlottek11 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByfW77SA9wI/?igshid=1qztc1cbtkagx
