ShiteRider reacted to PaykanHunter in The Iranian Avenger (2-Door)
The 2-Door Avenger was produced at IranNational factory for two years; 1978-79 (4-Door Avengers were imported from the UK).
The 2-door model had Black Vinyl Roof (covering both A & C pillars), Quad Headlights, Side Stripes and Rostyle Wheels. Was this trim level unique to Iran?

ShiteRider got a reaction from theshadow in Rusty Triumphs in Scotland - Dolomite in "most reliable" shocker - 08/02/24
You are my new shite hero (till MrBollox does another k-series head gasket), i'm glad i'm not the only one who buys another shitbox when their regular shitbox needs fixorating....
I've three cortinas and the only one that's legal is the mechanically fucked one. The other two run great, it's just they give you a commanding view of the road......through the footwells.

King's Lynn, 1980s, where I grew up. Nobody at work suspects my secret Norfolk shame, they just think I've got a speech impediment.

ShiteRider reacted to STUNO in Shite in your town, in ye olden times.
My town 1952, no traffic. The town was brand new...
1953.. the first shops..
1976..now we have a range of shops etc.
and now..
Still has no need for traffic lights and parking wardens.
And the reason for the town's existence, Kinleith paper mill.. 3 km out of town downwind !
Kinleith paper mill nr Edinburgh was the inspiration for the name.
The M.D. of the company here was a Scotsman. So we have street names as below beacause this was his company town.
Torphin. Esk. Clyde. Tweed. Abercorn. Strathmore. Moray . St Andrews. Solway. Fife. Jedburgh. etc. etc.. Then came the coronation of QE2 so Elizabeth. Edinburgh. Windsor. Margaret. Charles. Ann. Andrew. Edward. Right up to Princess Beatrix Avenue.
Still no traffic.

ShiteRider reacted to morrisoxide in What you drove at 20
I bought this when I was 18, this is how it looked when I was 20. I still have it.
Then I bought this Mini as a winter hack (stupid idea) I still have this too.
Both pictures were taken in 2010

ShiteRider reacted to xtriple in That Lovejoy Safrane
When my wife and I first bought our house, I was skint, moved to the new area amd didn't have a job so went back to the faithfull standby of flogging motors! We bought a load but at one point we had in 'stock' a Safrane top spec job (though a 2 litre I think) auto and a Citroen Xantia which was a similar sort of level. My wife ad a brand new car and I had the 928 and we both preferred the Safrane (or the Xantia, moods drifted between the two!) and we nearly sold the others and kept the Frogspods.
Didn't as there was too much profit in them both but by God, they were both lovely.
