Hello, I've had a much needed break from posting on the forum in any great detail but now I'm feeling like I have some interesting shite to share.
I regret deleting my previous tat thread which spanned a decade of buying and selling shite so with this thread I aim to update it regularly with vehicles I have coming and going.  I've been raffling cars a lot this year so this first post will summarise how and why it started.
It's largely done through Facebook, but I do have a separate website which can be used without FB at https://retroshite.com/ and a place to buy merch at https://retroshite.shop
In April I was having a tough time at work, forced into night shift and really struggling to cope with it, one of my coping mechanisms was to buy cars to entertain myself with when I wasn't at work but started accumulating far too much shite and became weighed down with it all so decided to have a mega clear out!

Cruise control is a godsend with motorway roadworks and average speed cameras.

I had one of these and loved it. Quick enough too that it landed me 6 penalty points back in 2009.  Kept it for much longer than I usually hang on to a car

On the mk4’s an S was part of the model range priced between the GL and Ghia, on mk 5’s they offered the S as an option pack upgrade on the L, GL and Ghia, it included several upgrades including spotlamps,  gas shock absorbers,  the LS and GLS had sports gearknob, revcounter, 185/70 tyres, headrests on the early L and sports wheels, and additionally on 82 model L and GL recaro seats.
