My Autoshite Spots through the years with added orange Opel!

[Cavcraft]

I remember when those Chevannes used to be everywhere. Sadly (or happily, depending on your viewpoint) I added to their decreasing number status by smashing into one in my Cortina many years ago and bashing the o/sr wing up something chronic. There was no insurance drama involved though as I might not have had any road tax and the van owner appeared a smidge over the drink drive limit.

Grimace & Vomit's A35 van, seen a few years back in Lincoln

A bang up to date spot at Ipswich train station today. I hope it's not Trigger's!

 

[trigger]

Damn you spotted me ducky!

[Felly Magic]

Somebody must have no taste or its driven by their guide dog! Its totally craptastic!

[Felly Magic]

And here we have some classic BL Autoshite, taken outside my parents house in 2004. This car belonged to our window cleaner.

Bloody hell, I had a green Marina just like that!

20 years ago mind.....

[Felly Magic]

It was a tidy old thing, until he stuffed it in the winter

Time to 'Up your Viva' with this rare Cabrio HB at a steam fair in Wakey in 2009.

A Mk1 Leyland National seen as a playroom at Mucky D's just outside Cesspool a few years back.

 

[Felly Magic]

And now one that I used to look after for a museum. Moneypit.... It's a Mk2 National, reg'd XUA73X

 

[Felly Magic]

And now a rather sheddy looking MCW Metrolump in Helifax (that isn't a typo, because that place is a close to Hell on Earth

)

Almost 10 years on, from my custodialship, it is still not on the road. Its had a new windscreen, new dome, new power steering ram, replaced engine stop solenoid, door valve gear replaced TWICE, replacement GRP emergency door, rear hub seals replaced & new drums & shoes all round, and it is needing the front bumper mounts straitening so a bumper will fit on. I would also say it needs a fair bit of welding doing. It is the last time I look after a museum trust owned bus. The sods also have my full LN2 workshop manuals & parts lists books, and Gardner LX series engine manuals. Once the thing is back on the road, I'm claiming them back to flog.

[Felly Magic]

Back to the shite anyway. This motor was seen in Cambridge city centre in January. Austin A30, and it had a towbar on the back! Talk about living the Autoshitters dream here

 

[Felly Magic]

 

Told ya it had a tow bar!!

[Felly Magic]

You can't get much shitter than this jumped up milkfloat. Made on the Isle of Wight..Its the Enfield electric shitbox, looking as rough as a bag of spanners, at the Transport Museum, Carlton Coalville near Lowestoft

 

[Lord Sterling]

Cool, I spotted one of these Enfield Electric things a few weeks back:

 

 

Seen in my spotted thread I will go back with a better camera(phone) and get some better pics, my current Nokia just doesnt seem to want to take decent pics anymore.

[Felly Magic]

Some shizzle from the Christchurch Park bash in Ipswich earlier this year. It was cracking the flags that day.

 

First up a Toyota Starlet that isn't a rwd chavdrift car!

 

 

And a Commer Cob/Hillman Imp van thingy.

 

 

And a Vaux VX

 

[worldofceri]

 

That's terrific. I wonder if the towball is bolted to anything substantial or just the bumper.

 

Also, I love the way he's fitted a high-level brake light, but still relys on the trafficators as turn signals.

Anyone know if thats spottedlaurels old one?

[Felly Magic]

A pair of photos of a very green Crapi 2 at Crystal Peaks in Sheff'uld in 2006. Tat tastic

 

 

[Felly Magic]

Another from Brid in 2010, a shitty looking Onion GL on a C plate.

[Felly Magic]

One from Canvey in Essex a few years ago. Victor estate. Rare survivor, especially as they were known to turn to powder as soon as the owner went through a puddle.

I never realised that there was a Transport Museum in Carlton Coalville just 20 miles away from me.

 

 

That Victor used to belong to Comrade Paul who signed up on here a few months ago (is also on the Popular Classics forum * )

 

* Am I allowed to quote other forums on here

[Felly Magic]

The museum there is mainly trolleybuses & trams, but has a few open days there each year. There is one good thing about it too, if you gift aid when you pay to go in, it gives you free admission again for the rest of the year, unlike one that is just down the road from me & Trigger

[Felly Magic]

Some more stuff from Canvey in 2004 now. Loaned for the event by the Ford Motor Company....The actual car used in the piss poor stringless Thunderbirds film

 

 

A Ford Kack pram in shocking pink

 

 

and a Yankee new T Bird or Turd as it should be called.

 

[trigger]

Anyone know if thats spottedlaurels old one?

 

Yes it is. And I'm very disappointed that you never got a photo of me that day Felly

[Felly Magic]

Will check through my photos for an orange Opel..

[Felly Magic]

Triggs PAPPED, shizzle photo though as my cam had a tantrum and didn't focus!
