mk2_craig Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Yup I'll second that. I'm a bit past the days of A-framing knackered old sub £100 heaps round the country. I miss it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone can think of some other favourites, defo give them an unexpected bump so we can share the joy!!! Maybe if one reappears, a mod could tag it as 'AS Classic' or something so we know we're looking at something worth trawling through. That's this one then, isn't it? Ignore the dead ebay pictures on the first page, there's gold later on in the thread... Split_Pin, DarrenKC53, Kiltox and 12 others 10 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Norman Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I remember this one, what a cracker. ? What about a separate Autoshite Classics section like there is for sales and moderns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 They used to have a 'Barry Boys Gold' section on that forum with some of their best flame wars etc. I reckon if we did start tagging any of this stuff it would be better to tag the thread rather than individual posts. Some of the replies in this thread for example are really funny!!! Some real dry wits on here. alcyonecorporation and Lankytim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lankytim Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 AS GOLD is a good idea I recon. The seller of that 306 seems to have been an all round bad egg. Are all people who welch on eBay car sales sex offenders too I wonder? paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one! I’d 100% recommended having a read through it. @Mr_Bo11ox’s writing makes an already brilliant story even better. Nearly 10 years on, that Avenger not only still exists, but is still on the road. I’d love to see a ‘best of Autoshite’ collection. There must be so many great threads like this from before I knew about this place. spartacus, Cord Fourteener, mk2_craig and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think reporting a person for child sex offences on the basis that they're an eBay nob is absolutely out of order, however, this is a comedy thread on what's at times a comedy website so pinches of salt liberally applied but flipping heck, who'd have thought the car was bought from a convicted Rochdale paedophile ring offender!
