Autoshite Bikes

[HillmanImp]

What bikes have you owned and which has been passed around Autoshite most?

 

I have owned the DAF which was originally owned by Scooters. I shared this with 205 GTi so that is 2 sets of Autoshite ownership

 

 

Then the Sera originally owned by KinkerSaab and then bought (for free) by Volksy and I so that's also two:

 

 

The Lancia was bought with Volksy from someone on here (whose username has just changed, Soz I cant remember your old one)

 

 

And the Scirocco that Barefoot now owns:

 

 

Which could not have gone to a better home. 

 

I also owned the Aldi Coupe which I gave to LankyTim after it got ballsed up by Volksworks. He has gone a bit quiet on this front and I am too scared to ask what's going on with it:

 

 

Then we move onto the Aldi 100, 'Auschwitz' which I got from LankyTim, and sold to Volksy so it had 3 Autoshite owners. 

 

 

But its since gone to its 2nd owner from new who is not an Autoshiter AFAIK.

 

Then there was the Council Estate:

 

 

Owned by Scooters, Sam Glover, Me, then Scooters again and then CMS (but I am only counting Scooters once).

 

However of the cars I have owned, the biggest bike must be the sadly now deceased Saab 900:

 

 

Owned by Dollywobbler, Mcoli, Me, LankyTim and Gadget Gricey before it eventually got scrapped as they were so unloved. 2yrs later they are sought after and worth a few bob but that's just the way shit goes isn't it.

 

What other Autoshite bikes are there? Which ones are the biggest sluts?

Ex- Jonathan Dyane Volvo 850.

I have no plans to move it on but more than one shiter has asked for first refusal so it probably will stay in the forum.

[Pillock]

I'm assuming the ex-BarryX19 ex-Bobthebeard MGF CharityBike is on its third Shiter with me, unless someone had it prior to Tiff?

 

I'll be moving it on within the family soon, I'll treat it to a new rear window and sort the starter motor out first. The prior has gone milky, the latter sulky.

[skattrd]

No pics but both Citroens I've owned are AS bikes.

 

Citroen XM 2.1TD auto - formerly owned by Flat4Alfa? then someone else, then me, then Philibusmo, now Scooters?

Citroen BX dizzler estate - RobT then me, then Catsinthewelder, briefly DW? now FPB7?

 

Maestro auto - 109landys3 - me - lent to Volksangyl - then sold to someone else on here, I forget who.

[fairkens]

What happened to the DAF? Is it still kicking around?

[JohnK]

Not a major bike, but I bought this for Trigger and hopefully if I move it on it will be through this forum ...

 

[twosmoke300]

I sold the golden Saab nugget to mr livered from here but I reckon the next stop is bean cans

[catsinthewelder]

 

Guess which one of these is an AS bike?

 

This Cherry turned up on here with Retrogeezer before passing to Eddieramrod then Micrashed. I only meant to keep it a couple of months but a change of lifestyle has meant that owning two vehicles that are likely to start on a morning is useful.

 

The other is not quite an AS bike yet but is ex-DW

 

Which was part ex-ed for that BX, shown here behind the definitive AS bike

[barrett]

I think the BX was previously owned by Dollywobbler, garethJ, Minimad, Brookjm, Cavcraft and now me...

[dollywobbler]

Can't believe the Rover 220 hasn't been mentioned yet. That's been through a fair few hands!

[worldofceri]

I didn't quite realise how many vehicles have changed hands through the forum. I was once 'registered keeper' of a certain Fiat Argenta for a bit through the Bo11ox Loan Scheme…

 

 

…and I sold my Mercedes to Lord Sterling of this noble parish.

 

 

As I type I'm literally on my way to buy a Saab from jonathan_dyane.

[worldofceri]

The Argenta really needs to stay on the forum incidentally. I would have it in a flash if I had a. a bit more munny, b. a garage and c. bigger bo11ox.

[Cavcraft]

If 'bike' can include two owners, then bloody loads!

 

Scooters-me-Andy Volvo T5

Junkman-me-? Daihatsu

Mini-Mad-me-Barrett BX

Me-Bollocks-(hopefully me again) FIAT pick-up

 

And just stacks more, most of which I can't even remember now.

[Junkman]

If 'bike' can include two owners, then bloody loads!

 

Junkman-me-? Daihatsu

Junkman-me-Lovejoy Daihatsu

 

No false assumptions, please!

[Cavcraft]

Talking of which, Christian, you have a private message!

[Jim Bell]

Not many, but the PurpleBargeKen MGF was enjoyed by me on its way to Dougong.

 

 

Currently running the ex-bo11ox rover 25 GTI as a Dailly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Had an SLK from DaveInB4the7 too, which went to a Shitters mate.

 

And the Roffle T5 passed via me to 2 further SVMs but I can't top a three member chain of ownership with anything.

[skattrd]

Barrett, can I get dibs on the TD BX when you feel it's time to shift it.

 

KTHXBAI.

[HMC]

Theres been a few through my grubby mits, in no particular order....

 

Brookjm-des 560sec,   300bhp and a fair number of those still uinder the bonnet, great fun possibly in part due to added lightness from rust nibbling away at it virtually everywhere:

 

Colc-Brookjm 504 estate. Horrifically rusty and now with a peugeot lover in Cornwall.

 

Brookjm-verytallbrad Partridgemobile. That image was a calendar contender in 2012, mainly cos of the blown bulb adding that extra level of shiteness.

 

Back in my pre family Merc obsessed period. Think I sold that 500SEL to someone on here But I cant remember.

 

Wuvvum-robt-brookjm-Garycox-blakey79 Sierra (5 shiters) Brilliant car, shame about the rad. Thought to be beans tins but glad to hear its actually still about and having surgery on its bottom.

 

I remember offering this on here but cant rmember it someone from here bought it. There was a fair bit of interest at least.

 

Wobbler-Garethj-minimad5-Brookjm-cavcraft-Barrett BX (6 shiters)

 

 

The only pic I can find of the cavcraft-Brookjm 205. Great little car, went straight throught the MOT (hence the cringeworthy pic)

It was ahead of its time- the interior had literally biodegraded.

 

Brookjm-Gadgetgricey 900 t16. Nice car and drove really well if you avoided 3rd gear

 

EDIT-

forgot the Bo11ox-sixcylinder-mastervan-phil_lip-robt-brookjm Rover 220 thats on the drive at the mo  (6 shiters)

 

So AFAIK the BX and the 220 are a tie with 6 shiters apiece

[Cavcraft]

I forgot about that 205, it was an ace little thing.

[HillmanImp]

Aye, I suppose you can't call a lass a bike if she only sleeps with a couple of people who know each other. 

 

Doesn't mean you can't brag about it afterwards though and put some saucy pictures you have of them on t'interweb.

[Pillock]

Aye, I suppose you can't call a lass a bike if she only sleeps with a couple of people who know each other.

 

 

Depends really on whether it was separate occasions.

[barrett]

Barrett, can I get dibs on the TD BX when you feel it's time to shift it.

 

KTHXBAI.

S'pose so, but tbh I can't see myself getting rid of the thing, ever. I went for a hoon this afternoon, not having done any fast B-roads in it for ages. Man, what a sweet handling little car. It's just totally unruffled at all times. And you can quote me on that if I ever put it through a hedge

[Matt]

Then the Sera originally owned by KinkerSaab and then bought (for free) by Volksy and I so that's also two:

 

 

Where's this one now? Just registering my interest in it as I passed one yesterday and it's sparked a need for something weird to drive.

[HillmanImp]

We sold it to a lad who I think was maybe Turkish who lived in Birmingham. It turned up again on Ebay last year with no MOT and a slightly off coloured bumper as it looked like it had been in a bump. I bid on it up to £550 but is went for about £850 which surprised me. A quick look on Dooovla says its T&T'd.

 

They really are quite nice to drive. The manual gearbox was a little notchy but the engines in these are fookin' great. I had been really surprised driving the 1.3l version in my mates 84 Corolla bit the 1.5 in this was brilliant fun.

[vulgalour]

Ruffgeezer-TheMoog-Chompy_snake-Me

 

 

Aforementioned ex-Skattrd auto Maestro I borrowed.  Surprisingly nice car, I Vulgaloured the nuts off it.  Was the reason I went on to buy a Ledbury, which wasn't as good.

 

 

Robt-Me-Mikeknight

 

 

Does this number of bikes owned make me an Autoshite bike, I wonder?

[Inspector Morose]

Who has owned my BX astate? I know of Dolly Catsinthewelder and Robt. Any more?

[skattrd]

Me, I swapped it with RobT for a white Renault 25 (which he took to Shitefest 1) then when I saw Cats' BX was broken I swooped in and sold him that as a replacement.

'Twas I wot brought the Cherry in

[RobT]

Most of those I've had have been mentioned, but this E30 was me-holbeck-philibusmo

 

 

Here's E79 when I owned it, at the swap with skattrd for the 25 (the latter now pulling a burger van around Kent apparently).

 

 

Here's the 25 at Simply French day a few years back at Beaulieuouie.  The XM in shot is an ex-messerschmitt owner car as I remember chatting to the non-AS owner about it.
