Shite Introduction


Recommended Posts

Posted

Yo.

 

I'm an ex-pat Austrian calling England home and I have been an avid lover of shite cars all my life. In fact, if a car isn't shite, I don't like it.

Hence, when I stumbled across autoshite, I felt right at home.

I must have had in the vicinity of 300 shite cars over the past 30 years and here is my current fleet of shite:

Apart from shite cars, I collect shite model cars and shite pushbikes.

Big welcome from another Lada-owning BXer!

I love 405 estates, too.

If you're feeling frisky, would you treat us to a "BX estate Vs 405 estate" write-up, please? Go on!

They are pretty equally shite. They don't rust, so you have to put up with them for ages. If you want to weigh in your car after the shortest possible time because you are bored shitless of it anyway after two weeks, don't buy them.

Welcome along, cool selection of cars you have.

Everything is right about that Lada. Must be one of the last to come to the UK?

 

405s do indeed seem to have amazing survival skills.

That shite Lada is probably the least shite car I owned in a decade or two.

 

405s seemingly last forever, unless this happens:

This was our former one and we loved it to bits. A 2.0 (no, not 1.9) GTX auto. It got blitzed by the Axis Powers this Summer, i.e. a German Lady ploughed her Japanese car into it. Since at that time there were only 8 left in Britain (according to howmanyleft), I thought I'll never get another one. However, I then stumbled across the red one, another 2.0 (no, not 1.9) GTX auto. Apparently, this summer has taken quite a toll on them, since there are now only 3 (!) left.

Ooof! Quite a hard knock, hope you were all ok.

I wouldn't trust HML too much, but I guess it could be correct if the 2 litre is such an unusual engine.

I never trust a statistic I haven't falsified myself. I' say it's a trend indicator though.

Welcome Junkman!!! I would say you have passed your AS entrance exam with one of the highest scores of recent times based on car ownership/attitude/use of profanity! Nice to meet you.

 

That lada is SHIT HOT, I would like to go 'all the way' with it.

Hey, thanks a lot!

 

Actually, I avoid to go anywhere with that shitbox because to say it is simply atrocious to drive would be an understatement worthy of British intellectuals.

It's even shittier than the P76 I drove in Oz (must get me one of those, uhum, deffo).

I think I will pass the Lada on. Three friends of mine asked me whether they can have it for one of those gumball rallyes. To Moscow, of all places, would you believe it now. That's not a place to go to, it's a place to run away from, for all I know.

 

Yeah, I want to see them three after they drove it to Moscow. Serves them right just for having such a daft idea.
