Chod Bothering & shite spottings. Annual update complete!

[inconsistant]

So we were pottering through rural* Brittany one morning...

 

 

...and on the opposite side of the road to a Renault garage was a field with cars in it. 'Ooh look at those' said the Mrs, encouragingly. Stopped the car, u turn, get out with camera, and investigate:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Twingo with a menacing looking rust patch. Is that Elvis or the grim reaper?

 

 

 

------------------

 

The journey back to Calais was awful. Really bad traffic and loads of heavy rain. Missed some fab chod spots due to being too cross. Missed a lovely french reg Rover sd3 and a Maestro amongst others. Also wasted so much time in traffic that we missed out on booze shopping time in Calais, and had to drive straight onto the ferry. Pissed off indeed.

 

So I parked up on the car deck and in front of us, lo and behold, The Gods of Chods smiled down...

 

Wow awesome caravan!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wonder what's towing it...

 

 

No way!

 

 

 

Yes way!

 

 

 

That's going to take some beating!

[inconsistant]

No worthwhile chod spotted for ages, then... PAO!

 

 

 

[brickwall]

That really is a dandy little thing.

[For Fiats Sake]

No worthwhile chod spotted for ages, then... PAO!

 

 

 

One of these was on ebay recently, I had serious wantage which waned when I discovered it's a micra in disguise.  Still dispite that I would.

[inconsistant]

Blimey! So, all three remaining Picnics are near your gaff?

 

You, sir, are a CHOD_GOD!!

 

 'howmanyleftdownyourway.com' says there's 4 left, and I've found the other one:

 

 

The owner of this one in Lewisham is clearly experiencing speeds that cause problems keeping the back end on the tarmac. Hopefully the aerodynamic aids are keeping the Picnic firmly on the blanket at speed. 

 

Bonus Laguna-age at No.67

[inconsistant]

This cool blacksmith geezer came to pick up some unwanted machinery from work yesterday, and was delighted to see he as rocking a P100, with truckman style roof on the back. It's a 2litre pinto one he says.

 

 

[inconsistant]

Superb... I've just found a whole load of chod bothering paps from the summer I thought I'd lost. Turns out I uploaded them into a completely random place.

 

First up here's a bit of autumnal 'green turning to brown'...

 

 

 

And here's some more green, this time a slightly shabby, boxy green shed...

These are from a late summer cycle home from work, through the S London burbs...

Brooklands, New Years Day 2014 Gathering, and even though the weather was rainshite, there was an interesting range of stuff on display. Where else can you see Model T Fords, 30s Bentleys, Maxis and Beetles with twatracks?

That's how I wish the diversity looked at more car shows, what an excellent range of different cars and different standards of finish.

[hairnet]

hornatronic

 

was up for this but the shite weather put me off a 450 mile round trip (always wanted to go brooklands)

 

fank oo sir

[Lord Sterling]

Looked like a great day. I agree with Vulgalourowski about the diversity of vehicles.

[inconsistant]

 

Who could resist bothering a p100 in Ford Racing colours? Not me!

[Skizzer]

OMG rally weapon!

 

Love the Brooklands pics, which I missed first time round.  Totally agree with Vulgalour about the diversity.  Might even see about going along next time, as my brother-in-law lives round the corner and would enjoy the outing as well.

[Felly Magic]

I know the owner of the beige Maxi at Brooklands too!

[Honey Badger]

Excellent P100 papage.

 

 

I had one of these in the late 90s, it was an excellent OMGDRIFTWEPON.

 

It's just a shame it only drifted when it felt like it, usually with no input from me.

 

Mine also had similar stripes on the rear body, mostly in a sort of rusty ferrous oxide kind of colour.

[inconsistant]

This teenytiny little fella has been turning up recently down our road:

 

 

Yesterday I popped down to Lewisham at lunchtime and couldn't believe the shite there was around. Look at this...

 

Not bad, roof a bit faded, but looks ok really.

 

 

 

 

Oh.

 

 

 

 

Nice mostly red renner 4 a bit further down the same road...

 

 

 

What, another one a few cars along. What are the chances? Bit of a looker too, I think I papped this one back in the summer.

 

 

 

Aah, now that would explain it...

 

 

(bonus 12 estate lurking round the back)

 

 

Porsche 911 on Autoshite?

 

No way. Get it off!

 

 

I respectfully draw your attention to:

 

1. Shite pascha 80's interior trim

2. Ripped seats

3. Hole rusted through rear wing

4. The roof, where there used to be paint

5. Deptford

 

 

 

**Case closed**

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder which member of the local community owns this jaaag?

With a puncture.

And dents.

And a slightly menacing reg no.

 

 

That's parked outside a pub.

 

 

 

 

[inconsistant]

A phew moar chods...

 

Nice* 8 series BMW:

 

 

 

Nice Ovlov, picked up for a couple of hundred recently by the owner. GLT spec, with full black leather interior, and lovely alloys:

 

 

 

 

Landy:

 

 

 

 

Escort van on RIMZ in WEEDZ:

 

 

 

Awright, Princess?

 

 

 

And on the opposite side of the road to the VDP:

 

 

 

Saved the best to last. Magnificent. Sublime. Exquisite. Shite.

Here's a late running update from my Drive it Day day. A few of us 924 owning dullards had a low slung tour of East Kent, taking in the Manston Spitfire and Hurricane Museum before arriving at the Dover Chod and old Transportly Gubbins and Stuff Museum, where they were having a rather marvellous 40's day. The atmosphere was fantastic, with lots of uniforms, costumes, a live band and proper dancing, and some lovely bacon baps at olden days prices with rationing strength instant coffee to match. 

 

Parked just outside the gates, and in excellent giffer-kept condition. The 600 badge didn't give anything away but the twin pipes, alloyz and levva suggested a high spec version:

 

 

More stuff from the visitor car park:

 

 

A funny* Ovlov:

 

A very nice early looking 3 door steelyrimmed Discovery

 

And now heading towards the museum itself past the strategically parked old stuff (see if you can spot the quality fellow Autoshiterist owned chod:

 

 

 

 

 

And we're in:

 

 

 

 

A bicycle the whole family can enjoy:

 

 

 

Some motorised bicycles and mopeds:

 

 

 

 

And a little cheeky something peeking out from the storage area:

 

Perving at an Ovlov through a gap in a fence. Like you do:

Minor Floppytop:

 

 

And finally, a Alfa and a hedge. That is all:

[Junkman]

That yank s'cool bus shouldn't be ignored.

 

Grarnardar's position suggests it's a getaway car in a off-license robberisation?

[brickwall]

I like the 309 in AA colours

[inconsistant]

A lovely sleek understated Audi from when all the arseholes drove BMWs:

 

 

Nice Fiat Thingy.

When I was at primary school the headmaster had one of these and used to take the whole football team to matches in it. The 70's eh? Tsk!

 

Maybe one for the Gardening Thread. Horticulture with a subtle Autoshite twist:

 

Lovely, lovely BMW:

 

This is how to do vans. The bloke who owns these is the man who can do vans:

 

 

Solid Merc. See a lot of 190s around in decent condition. This is the last one I'm going to pap, I'm a bit bored of old dull mercs:

 

MGB bus stop drive-by. Proper rubber bumper one on a w plate. LE I think. Best MGB of eva:

 

Favorit bus stop drive-by. Late one. Shame:

 

 

OMGBONGOFRIENDLEE:

 

 

Ovlov 'Polar' wtf?

 

That is all. Please be seated.

[vulgalour]

I'd say the LDV van displays a fine example of AS Horticulture too, you know.

I want that person's job, fact fans. Is the blue unidentified further up an AX or Visa? And the green one above a Ford Ka? With a red Talbot? Maybe?
