The cars of Autoshite : 2015 edition

[anonymous user]

Hmm, same as last year:

TR7 not driven by me at all (I think my brother may have run it up and down his drive a few times)

A35 Convertible came out of the garage a few times (to get the lawn-mower out)

Suzuki Alto covered 20k miles

Volvo 240 estate driven a few times, it's mostly on loan, last time I had it back the exhaust is blowing.

 

The way things are going, with time and my health, I think it might be getting time for the TR7 to go, but if I do get the time to MOT it and drive it I know I'll want to keep it.

This is two too many, I think the red one will be off in the spring. The silver one is the spouse-mover, the white one keeps domestic life ticking along and the blue one needs an mot.

I finished  cutting this up today.

 

 

Will be weighing the shell  in next week together with shell of a Mk 1 Clio I chopped up last week, no pics of the Clio.

 

Then I parked a swb series 3 in its place.

 

 

Finally I loaned this Diesel to my son for the foreseeable future.

 

 

I'm now down to 20 vehicles, I need counselling.

I have these two at the minute, although itchy feet as always means it may not stay that way for long...

 

 

Octavia 110tdi-Transport. Nothing more, nothing less. Quite modern by my standards it goes OK and after a bit of fettling is not bad to drive. Runs on veg and can carry loads of crap. Boring but tolerable due to..

 

 

Porsche 944 S2. High miles and a bit rough around the edges, it's still one of the most enjoyable cars to drive. Feels special, makes a nice noise and handles brilliantly. However I've had i for a year so which is a long time for me and I fancy a change so it's up for sale. No idea what I fancy to replace it, the list of possibilities is long and not very distinguished...

[drum]

Dome, you need to swap that porker for a series Land Rover...

[loserone]

Or a pretzel.

[dome]

Drum, I'm fairly sure I don't, although I do love Landys. For gods sake don't put any pictures up...

[drum]

Ok.

Although the MR2 has barely been outside, owing to road salt.

Our LDV 400, picking up 8 12ft fence rails earlier today.

[RoadworkUK]

Our fleet:- Still the bleeding same.

 

 

Rover, 'til I die.

 

 

Audi, partially disassembled and en route to becoming OMG turbo nuttermobile.

 

 

306. Her car. Brilliant thing.

 

I don't suspect anything will have changed this time next year. I'm not very good at Autoshite....

Opel Monza GSE

Again , stop with the series landy pics !!

Well, I've been dormant on here for ages and to be honest, 3 years on and no interesting developments.  This beast is still unbreakable*!  So far, 3 years/25,000 miles.  Not bad going for 400 clams really.

 

*Although a wee old woman crashed into the back of it the other week, and in doing so wrote off her Honda Jizz.  The plastic skirt under the back bumper of mine is cracked/shattered and held together with cable ties.  Anyone got any ideas of where to source one?

[binhoker668]

I modified it recently by cleaning off the black vegetable oil grease stain beneath the fuel cap.  Turns left a lot quicker now.

Cars driven so far this year, they all part of our winter collection.

 

1999 Volvo V70 T5

2001 Volvo V70 XC

1990 Mercedes 200TE

1996 Citroen ZX TD Estate

1988 BMW 735i SE

My 1^st buy of 2015 the Citroen C15 van has still not been driven yet as it is out on loan. Surprisingly I have not driven anybody else’s car yet this year.

 

The photo was taken just now, the BMW 330 Ci is in our home garage, the Audi convertible is at a local garage who are looking at the heating for me as it will not demist properly and my wife have taken Volvo V70 XC to work.

The Amazon is slumbering until it is nicer out there. 

 

The Triumph 1500FWD, the Beetle, the Hyundai i10 - all road legal

 

The Tr7 Toledo - slumbering.

Let me know if the r100 comes up for sale please!

As it stands at the minute

Austin metro parked on axle stands on the street with 1 wheel missing and a jack supporting the engine

Vauxhall vectra on a friends drive awaiting recovery

Vauxhall corsa sat outside in daily service

Sym scooter on back yard looking forlorn since Tuesday when I lost the exhaust. It was definitely there when I left Sutton in Ashfield.

[DSdriver]

All four of our's have been used this year because Thunderbird 2 (the green XM estate) which was acquired for winter duties has let us down again by leaving green puddles everywhere. So the Safari had to come out to do estate car duties (its very smooth and comfy after the XM) and the DS saloon (kept for best) came out to go to a funeral in Southamptonshire because the heater in the Safari is crap. The Peugeot of last resort continues to be dependable, small and uncomfortable.

[worldofceri]

Sister-in-law's Lupo out on loan, going back this weekend.

 

 

Mrs_WoC's 'new' Golf.

 

 

Even 'newer' Saab, just acquired from J_Dyane.

 

 

Beetle remains broked.

My son's '94 Tipo '1.4ie passed its MOT without fuss earlier this month and we've both driven it a few times.

My Stellar is running fine despite being eaten alive by salt - it's my daily driver.  Oh, and the lack of oil pressure at tickover on the standard 'little bit/mid-point/quite a lot' calibrated by Koreans gauge is not concerning me (much). Must check to see if I'm still in the AA. 

My 53 yearold Reliant Regal (sidevalve 748cc) had its first outing of 2015 a couple of days ago.  As is usually the case, it started as soon as the fuel system re-primed and took me for an enjoyable canter round the local lanes - about 30 miles worth.  It was also terrifying.  Crossplies, no seat belts, a wheel  missing and 17.5bhp boost the adrenalin.

Only a duo staying with me at the moment.  Both Rovers.

 

 

25 GTI. Now lightly crashed.

 

 

600 Ronda. Not crashed at all.

 

 

 

Trying to have a year off buying cars.

Let me know if the r100 comes up for sale please!

Sorry its a keeper.

To be fair it looks quiet tidy.

[inconsistant]

Mr shitepies, where can i find out more about the 600, it looks well fit.

I never thought about it before but I guess I have a small 'fleet' now.
