Autoshite Bikes

Recommended Posts

What bikes have you owned and which has been passed around Autoshite most?

 

I have owned the DAF which was originally owned by Scooters. I shared this with 205 GTi so that is 2 sets of Autoshite ownership

Then the Sera originally owned by KinkerSaab and then bought (for free) by Volksy and I so that's also two:

The Lancia was bought with Volksy from someone on here (whose username has just changed, Soz I cant remember your old one)

And the Scirocco that Barefoot now owns:

Which could not have gone to a better home. 

 

I also owned the Aldi Coupe which I gave to LankyTim after it got ballsed up by Volksworks. He has gone a bit quiet on this front and I am too scared to ask what's going on with it:

Then we move onto the Aldi 100, 'Auschwitz' which I got from LankyTim, and sold to Volksy so it had 3 Autoshite owners.

But its since gone to its 2nd owner from new who is not an Autoshiter AFAIK.

 

Then there was the Council Estate:

Owned by Scooters, Sam Glover, Me, then Scooters again and then CMS (but I am only counting Scooters once).

 

However of the cars I have owned, the biggest bike must be the sadly now deceased Saab 900:

Owned by Dollywobbler, Mcoli, Me, LankyTim and Gadget Gricey before it eventually got scrapped as they were so unloved. 2yrs later they are sought after and worth a few bob but that's just the way shit goes isn't it.

 

What other Autoshite bikes are there? Which ones are the biggest sluts?

I'm assuming the ex-BarryX19 ex-Bobthebeard MGF CharityBike is on its third Shiter with me, unless someone had it prior to Tiff?

 

I'll be moving it on within the family soon, I'll treat it to a new rear window and sort the starter motor out first. The prior has gone milky, the latter sulky.

No pics but both Citroens I've owned are AS bikes.

 

Citroen XM 2.1TD auto - formerly owned by Flat4Alfa? then someone else, then me, then Philibusmo, now Scooters?

Citroen BX dizzler estate - RobT then me, then Catsinthewelder, briefly DW? now FPB7?

 

Maestro auto - 109landys3 - me - lent to Volksangyl - then sold to someone else on here, I forget who.

Guess which one of these is an AS bike? ;)

 

This Cherry turned up on here with Retrogeezer before passing to Eddieramrod then Micrashed. I only meant to keep it a couple of months but a change of lifestyle has meant that owning two vehicles that are likely to start on a morning is useful.

 

The other is not quite an AS bike yet but is ex-DW

Which was part ex-ed for that BX, shown here behind the definitive AS bike 14350762010_f5cb8e050d_b.jpg

I didn't quite realise how many vehicles have changed hands through the forum. I was once 'registered keeper' of a certain Fiat Argenta for a bit through the Bo11ox Loan Scheme…

…and I sold my Mercedes to Lord Sterling of this noble parish.

As I type I'm literally on my way to buy a Saab from jonathan_dyane.

If 'bike' can include two owners, then bloody loads!

 

Scooters-me-Andy Volvo T5

Junkman-me-? Daihatsu

Mini-Mad-me-Barrett BX

Me-Bollocks-(hopefully me again) FIAT pick-up

 

And just stacks more, most of which I can't even remember now.

Not many, but the PurpleBargeKen MGF was enjoyed by me on its way to Dougong.

Currently running the ex-bo11ox rover 25 GTI as a Dailly.

Had an SLK from DaveInB4the7 too, which went to a Shitters mate.

 

And the Roffle T5 passed via me to 2 further SVMs but I can't top a three member chain of ownership with anything.

Brookjm-des 560sec,   300bhp and a fair number of those still uinder the bonnet, great fun possibly in part due to added lightness from rust nibbling away at it virtually everywhere:

Colc-Brookjm 504 estate. Horrifically rusty and now with a peugeot lover in Cornwall.

Brookjm-verytallbrad Partridgemobile. That image was a calendar contender in 2012, mainly cos of the blown bulb adding that extra level of shiteness.

Back in my pre family Merc obsessed period. Think I sold that 500SEL to someone on here But I cant remember.

Wuvvum-robt-brookjm-Garycox-blakey79 Sierra (5 shiters) Brilliant car, shame about the rad. Thought to be beans tins but glad to hear its actually still about and having surgery on its bottom.

 

post-4673-0-03212400-1422192601_thumb.jpg

I remember offering this on here but cant rmember it someone from here bought it. There was a fair bit of interest at least.

Wobbler-Garethj-minimad5-Brookjm-cavcraft-Barrett BX (6 shiters)

 

 

post-4673-0-36124300-1422193245_thumb.jpg

The only pic I can find of the cavcraft-Brookjm 205. Great little car, went straight throught the MOT (hence the cringeworthy pic)

It was ahead of its time- the interior had literally biodegraded.

 

post-4673-0-08599100-1422193674_thumb.jpg

Brookjm-Gadgetgricey 900 t16. Nice car and drove really well if you avoided 3rd gear

 

EDIT-

post-4673-0-36055100-1422194054_thumb.jpg

forgot the Bo11ox-sixcylinder-mastervan-phil_lip-robt-brookjm Rover 220 thats on the drive at the mo  (6 shiters)

 

So AFAIK the BX and the 220 are a tie with 6 shiters apiece

Aye, I suppose you can't call a lass a bike if she only sleeps with a couple of people who know each other. 

 

Doesn't mean you can't brag about it afterwards though and put some saucy pictures you have of them on t'interweb. ;)

Barrett, can I get dibs on the TD BX when you feel it's time to shift it.

 

KTHXBAI.

S'pose so, but tbh I can't see myself getting rid of the thing, ever. I went for a hoon this afternoon, not having done any fast B-roads in it for ages. Man, what a sweet handling little car. It's just totally unruffled at all times. And you can quote me on that if I ever put it through a hedge

Then the Sera originally owned by KinkerSaab and then bought (for free) by Volksy and I so that's also two:

Where's this one now? Just registering my interest in it as I passed one yesterday and it's sparked a need for something weird to drive.

We sold it to a lad who I think was maybe Turkish who lived in Birmingham. It turned up again on Ebay last year with no MOT and a slightly off coloured bumper as it looked like it had been in a bump. I bid on it up to £550 but is went for about £850 which surprised me. A quick look on Dooovla says its T&T'd.

 

They really are quite nice to drive. The manual gearbox was a little notchy but the engines in these are fookin' great. I had been really surprised driving the 1.3l version in my mates 84 Corolla bit the 1.5 in this was brilliant fun.

Aforementioned ex-Skattrd auto Maestro I borrowed.  Surprisingly nice car, I Vulgaloured the nuts off it.  Was the reason I went on to buy a Ledbury, which wasn't as good.

Does this number of bikes owned make me an Autoshite bike, I wonder?

Most of those I've had have been mentioned, but this E30 was me-holbeck-philibusmo

Here's E79 when I owned it, at the swap with skattrd for the 25 (the latter now pulling a burger van around Kent apparently).

Here's the 25 at Simply French day a few years back at Beaulieuouie.  The XM in shot is an ex-messerschmitt owner car as I remember chatting to the non-AS owner about it.
