The Shitefest 2012 picture thread

[eddyramrod]

And now I'm even more jealous. Thanks Trig....

[vulgalour]

I'm very disappointed in myself for having events conspire to prevent me from attending this

[cms206]

Shitefest 2012 was the best weekend of my life. Even if I did have a cold, a migrane, and was a big shitebag who gave up and went to sleep at about 10pm on the Saturday night because I'd been up for 39 hours.

 

Anyway, some assorted pics more suited to a shitey way of thinking...

 

5.05am, Saturday morning, a backstreet in Paisley... the mileometer reads 141740 (lucky omen?) - to THE SOUTH!

In the beginning... 141740 miles by cms206, on Flickr

 

Popped into Tesco in Yate to pick up MOAR BOOZE. This AX looked terrified.

This was stunning. I forgot to take a picture of the utterly fantastic headlining though, which is rather irritating.

Despite being parked on the busiest bit of the field (ie the route to the bogs) Joe slept until the bacon arrived.

Drinking recepticles were scarce on Sunday morning - Wuvvum and Mash share their chosen solutions

In a field full of shiny Armstrong Siddeleys and Bristols, we all gathered round...

LAST PROTON EVAH. Well, until December, if they recieve enough orders to justify continuing to import

For various reasons we were not allowed to park in the museum itself, instead being instructed to park outside. Can't think why...

Top weekend guys, those who didn't go missed out. Autoshite Live was THE event of the year. Who's getting featured in PC, out of interest?!

[Mash]

Awesome pics and captions!

 

I think a special AS prize should go to Hannah (Mrs Trig) for putting up with us all for the whole weekend!!!

I am quite relieved that mine is not the only one that looks like this after a couple of hours!

[Spiny Norman]

The more I see of these pics, the more I wish I'd gone to this.

 

Excellent pic of Barrett and the brownest pair of strides I've seen since 1975, another candidate for the AS calendar perhaps?

lol - I have one anti sink and one sinker XM - the sinker looks so weird sitting down when the other is up at ride height!

She said she had a really good time, though it did cost me a chinese take away last night.

 

It took nearly 2 hours to put up that frickin tent, Unbelievable, Pete_M had to drag me back at one point as i tried to make my escape from the bloody thing, I felt like I'd lost most the afternoon playing with my erection but then again Garycox at 2am remembered that he's forgot to put up his tent...

 

Also a special thanks to Vin who in a drunken panic finds he's lost his phone so at 2.45am I'm ringing it for him after he gives me the number only to hear some someone answer it who I've clearly just woken up "Oh no Trigger, that's not my number!" and it was in his tent the whole bloody time.

 

Next year I WILL be in a suitable more shite car.

[vulgalour]

I wish I was as stylish as Barrett, that's one cool dude right there. What car is that fantastic red interior in?

Andy's 1979 Lancia Gamma 2500. Absolutely stunning.

Phones, fields and drink don't mix. I went to the RR gathering a few years ago and slammed by brand new smartphone in the boot while pissed. WHY (slam) WON'T (slam) THIS (slam) THING SHUT??? oh.

 

LOLZ, sound like a good time was had by all. Serious appreciation pointed in Betaboys direction for setting it all up and hosting you all.

[ProgRocker]

Great pics!!!

 

Looked like a right laugh. Alas, I had to attend a wedding reception on Saturday. Would probably come to a future Shitefest next year but I doubt that my decadent, sub 10 year old car with sat nav and climate control would qualify.

 

That 'Pony Tropicana' with the Caramac interior is fooking class.

[trigger]

I wouldn't worry about that Prog, Pete_M bottled out of driving the 604 down and bought a 61 plate Diesel Skoda instead, some people have no balls.... ( Says the man who bottled out bringing the Cortina because of heavy rain)

AnthonyG also rocked up in a 57-plate Mondeo...

Heh. I brought the Skoda because it had 1/3 a tank of free fuel in. The 400 mile return trip cost me £20 in diesel. The 604 costs £20 to do a 50 mile return trip...

Dude, I brought nothing but dubious humour, bad hair and boisterous drinking activities....

Next year I swear I'll have sorted the car scenario.

Poverty and bad decisions have rendered me a cyclist...

Chris, it was good to meet you. Now if i ever have a drive that needs resurfacing?

[philibusmo]

I haven't been killed!

 

I kinda forgot to take pictures as I was too busy enjoying* my new Pony, but here some pictures I took in and around shitefest and then back home.

 

Great day, thanks to everyone, but especially Andy for putting up with us at great expense.

 

Good to meat everyone, what an appalling bunch of car-bores you all are. Marvelous.

 

The Pony was great* all the way back with its excellent** ride quality and handling and smooth*** power delivery. I am really**** looking forward to driving it to work every day. The seats are so comfortable***** that I could sit in them all day******, and who doesn't love******* the delightful******** shade of being soothing********* your eyes are you motor along at pace**********.

 

[All above statements were incorrect at the time of writing.]

Totally brilliant event well done Andy as always was the perfect host

so good meeting you all, and your shite cars

 

Sadly I missed the Sunday drive out due to family commitments and had to get back, I’d also like to thank Andy for starting/revving his Gamma at 3am, with its exhaust only meters from the caravan I was fast asleep in

 

Here are a couple of photos taken on the Saturday;

 

the plan was to bring another shite Lancia, but just after filling it brim full it decided to drop a gear linkage and leave me with only 3rd gear.

un-shite VW to the rescue and another full tank of fuel put in

 

 

please excuse me as a newbie, I'm not going to put names to pictures in case I embarrass myself

 

 

the rest of the set can be found on Flickr

Those are brilliant photos Tony! I've just LOLZ my cock off at Binhokers poses on the shite!

 

Good to see someone caught the trusty Golf as well with the shitters having a rumage through my car porn stash.
