"Scene" twats.

[purplebargeken]

Just think of it this way. If we, as autoshite persons used the pineapple on the roof as a means of identification and acknowledgement of each other! It would be so much cooler than the 'flash and wave' brigade. I think I may have stumbled on something potentially great here*

[Squire_Dawson]

I don't believe there is an Autoshite 'scene', and even if there was I still wouldn't believe it.

 

Perhaps the only recognisable symbol of a committed Autoshiter would be an old AA grille badge, proudly displayed purely out of necessity, rather than some dubious 'look at me I'm one of the gang' reason.

 

And that would by no means be universal. Some people prefer the RAC.

I'd never belong to any sort of club that would want me as a member... or some other similarly witty remark made by a famous person.

[M'coli]

I'm starting to think it never happened myself now. How about a hay bale?

 

Wrong car.

 

I worked on a beef and sheep farm in the early 90s.  I bumped into my boss at the Scottish car show in the SECC who told me he'd just been asked to leave the Porsche stand after asking about getting raised suspension on the 911 as the rear spoiler was just the ideal carrier for a couple of bales of hay to take out to the heifers... :D

Would an Autoshite "Scene" identifier not be cable ties holding some part of the trim/bodywork together? Hard to spot though.

I think an autoshite identifier would be a car that is so mindblowingly shit that the automotive world hoped that it would pass into extinction but that through blood, sweat, toil and swearing it has been kept alive by a valiant shiter for future generations to enjoy*.

Autoshite: driving down the cost of housing in your area.

No Sleep till Bedtime

Gotta getta T-shirt with that on it...

 

[brickwall]

I don't believe Autoshiters crave a et scene. It's more of an ad-hoc sorta thing and sometimes it's simply personal - cheaper motoring or a fondness for a car. Some of the best Autoshiters I've seen have been the old lady or spinster who lives at the end of the street who drives an immaculate Metro or Polo from the days of the dinosaurs.

Believe me, I do my best.

 

The Blingo remains unrepaired - apart from a new side repeater, a large patch of primer and a witty* cartoon figure saying 'oops!' - after losing a battle with a car park pillar. But the number of people here in Audi/BMW/Volvo/Honda land who have commented positively on the W124 makes me worry that I'm letting the side down...

[purplebargeken]

That bale of hay on the Beetle must be the heaviest bale of hay in history. Look at what it's doing to the suspension on that poor car. Such a shame.

[mercrocker]

I like the fact that  Autoshite is a virtual place.   The last thing I want to be in is a "scene".   However, it would be very amusing to start the pineapple thing and see how many twats  copy it...

[panhard65]

It seems that it isn't only VW's that have a pineapple thing going on. A lot of these ex army R2087's have pineapples on the door.

[mercrocker]

^Perhaps its a scene-twat "kill"?

[purplebargeken]

Odd. When I searched for pineapple stickers on ebay, the related search came up with 'Skoda Octavia RS'. I never knew they were made of pineapples.

VW Fox parcel shelves are made from pineapples.

 

I don't care for either.

[purplebargeken]

Ah, now that makes sense.

I don't understand the idea of purposefully making your car look knackered ?? it's like those who spend big £££'s on new jeans that are ripped & faded - I throw trousers out, not buy them when they get to that state

drifting or more commonly known as power slides as performed by many great salon car racers through the 60,s and 70,s and rally drivers or rwd car owners for decades

[dangerousdave]

you don't need a modded car to drift ive done it a few times some intentionally some unintentionally with a std mk1 escort and a std mk3 Cortina

Unintentional rat scene. Nuclear-Bomb proof HCS fezza including orange 'non-slip' painted roof.

It can be done in a 2 1/4 denzil series III landy anorl...

[FredTransit]

..... and a Mk2 transit LWB

[saucedoctor]

and a mk3 Transit minibus, unintended. "Broon breeks!" as my Scots co-pilot commented, loudly, at the time.

[jbz2079]

How many have tried Marina/ Ital. drift factor?

That's where you dial in the approximate steering angle to achieve the required corner exit point.

 

Ohh Aye and don't chicken out and lift your right foot as the angle of attack could alter drastically by doing so.

[Partridge]

Drift yo.

I'm a scene twat, look at what I did to the only Scottish 18gtd left on the road...
