SiC Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I was thinking about this the other day and started making a list. Except Google Keep isn't loading this second FFS. So I'll put the ones off the top of my head and then fix them later. - Autoshite does the Mongol Rally- DW Invacar - DW and Cats go to Romania - Bucketer in Bulgaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Not sure Bucketeer has been in Bulgaria this year. Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Does it need to be last posted to/updated this year or started this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I am thinking the Mongolian Rally Charade would be my fave. Unless we can recycle Datsuncogs Samuel Pepys Rover 75 summary binhoker668, AMC Rebel, warninglight and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Point of order - my Invacar thread actually began in 2017. Does this thread only include threads started in 2018? I feel it should. Appreciate the nod! The Reverend Bluejeans, DeeJay, michael t and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Yes it is for threads started this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Yes it is for threads started this year.I would like an exemption for this, on the basis that there will never be anymore content from this chap. This thread in particular: http://autoshite.com/topic/24822-daves-dismantling-blogthe-beesnot-the-beeees-aaarrrggh/ Last updated earlier this year with new content, an excellent thread.

panhard65 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 There are so many good threads but I think the late Dave numbers would win it hands down. My fav's are Phil A's Pontiac.http://autoshite.com/topic/32865-1951-pontiac-chieftain-odds-n-ends/The super Sentinel should be in with a shout as well just for the superb engineering.http://autoshite.com/topic/33305-it-is-just-so-super-sentinel/ Skizzer, keith777, shedenvy and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebuchenezer Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Dave of many numbers. Soz but only this can be right this year. For best other thread then the dacia Romanian adventure or the Scandinavian datsun thread are winners for me My take, my thoughts, feel free to disagree. stonedagain and mercrocker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumbler Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 A Clio Saved- A Happy Ending thread gets my vote. Datsuncog, michael t and BeEP 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I'm going to break the rules and nominate the shitestang thread, yes started on 22/12/17, but to all intents and purposes a 2018 thread. http://autoshite.com/topic/30496-the-further-adventures-of-a-shitestang/page-1 Joloke and johngarty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timolloyd Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I think if any rules are being flexed, than it can only be Dave Numbers’ thread for TotY JeeExEll, Mally, stonedagain and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjvm Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I was going to nominate the 'Low cost big liability' thread (admittedly probs not the fave of hardcore shitters) but when I checked to make sure it was born in 2018 I was surprised to find out it first appeared in March 2017. Time flies when you're immersed in shit! The Moog, Pillock, Supernaut and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 It has been suggested two categories should be included Davenumbers Award - for threads started over year ago but have been updated this year - so therefore low cost liability etc can enter TOY - new threads started from 1/1/18 Cavcraft, chaseracer, Datsuncog and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 the two best things I have read on here this year, are the 'Olde Englishe' story by the wordy dude from Northern Ireland (sorry cant remember his name!!) about popping the head gasket on his Rover 75 in about 1780, and Cavcrafts 'Convoy' song in the eBay thread. Both are totally fantastic comedy gems. ###Edit: 'Datsuncog' is the name i was looking for, and here is the post: http://autoshite.com/topic/31114-ten-glorious-years-of-rbj-nonsense/?p=1436712 Kringle, Lacquer Peel, Brodders and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Having re-read Samuel Pepys Rover 75 shenanigans, I fear I must vote for it again, thus having two votes and therefore probably disqualifying myself. Although the funniest thing I read was Dave Numbers tale of ordering expensive gear oil which he promptly ran over in his truck. Many lolz The Moog, Cavcraft and The Reverend Bluejeans 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 SiC’s 1100 - from scared to work under a car to completely rebuilding one in 60 seconds. Bravo. Horsebollox - answering the questions around accommodation, modern life and social acceptance nobody asked. Both of these threads clearly shilled by sheet metal and welding gas suppliers too Mally, binhoker668, Cavcraft and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Horsebollox and Samuel Pepys are great nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
