World without shite.

[Uncle Jimmy]

If shite was banned by da Government what would you do instead? Talk to that woman who lives in your house? Commit suicide? Collect model shites? Go to a gym?

[Junkman]

Become a terrorist.

[fordperv]

I would become a superhero and hunt down criminals at night

[Uncle Jimmy]

What? On foot? Naaa.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Turning to crime is likely. More shite= lower crime. Put that in yer manifesto Camroon.

[Dave_Q]

I'd go somewhere with a different government.

[rml2345]

Cable tie an extension cable somewhere under the bonnet with the plug hanging out and claim it's electric.

[Ghosty]

So, this is a thread on what we all think of China?

[hauserplenty]

When shite is outlawed,

Only outlaws will drive shite.

I'd buy a Nissan NV200 brand new. If I must be in debt, at least it would be worth having someone else turn spanners on it when needs must. More time for me to fix all that other...shite.

[warren t claim]

I think that the survivors would envy the dead.

[They_all_do_that_sir]

judging by the experiences of all my co workers with their shiny new cars, if forced to own a newish wagon id be spending as much time if not more fixing that.

 

I'd be bankrupt through a mix of EZ finance payments and lost in a sea of DMFs EGRs DPFs etc etc for the rest of time.

 

As an example a girl in work is paying £250 a month for a near new GOLF TDI which has just required a clutch and flywheel at a cost of £1000 fitted....

In one year she will have spent £3000 on finance alone yet not have any equity in the car as it will have lost at least that in depreciation

 

Fark me - you could buy a shit load of shite for that and probably not lose money either as shite is mostly depreciation proof....

[fordperv]

What? On foot? Naaa.

No just because shite is banned doesn't mean it's gone from the face of the earth, its just more incentive not to get caught whilst going about your superhero buisiness, so I'd use a ridiculous engine and some weapons then go around green hornet style

[dollywobbler]

2CV would become a 2EV. XM might be screwed unless they let me run it on veg.

[Grundig]

Class ourselves as an ethnic group  & our way of life would be protected - all Government funded too 

[castros_bro]

If one door closes and several more open. Making engines out of old VAG bean cans seems a way forward, here's one I made earlier which can power a scoot safely* and efficiently* using a selection of veg based products as fuel.

It's not often that I'm standing up for newfangled tosh, but if she needs a clutch and a flywheel for a newish Flog, she should either learn how to drive a car, or buy an automatic.

[Asimo]

Defy the ban and blame all the apathetic people who won't take part in the political process for the ban happening.

 

"The price of freedom is constant vigilance"

[cort1977]

There have been some worrying suggestions from various EU committees on ways to reduce emissions from vehicles etc that if taken to their logical conclusion could lead to restrictions on shite.   New regulations are not often applied retroactively though so a shite ban is unlikely.

 

What would I do?   Maybe become like the Nightrider from the first Mad Max film except I'd be crashing through VOSA checkpoints in an old Cortina.

They probably won't use retrospective legislation but they can tax things off the roads. Or continue the roll-out of banning vehicles with less politically-correct emissions from urban areas. Forum members living in France may be able to shed some light on what rules are like there for old cars.

[vulgalour]

Break down in London and spectacularly leak carcinogenic fluids all over the place as a dirty protest.  I'd encourage my vehicle to do the same.

[purplebargeken]

Ignore it and drive whatever anyway, just quicker and more crafty-like. 

[alf892]

Face the music and dance........

[D Spares & Tyres]

I would remove the engine from one of my heaps, add some reins and buy a horse or maybe a zebra to pull it, just like the old days except with a radio and rust

[Uncle Jimmy]

I'd go somewhere with a different government.

Where? Jupiter? OK, maybe the good ol USA.

[Split_Pin]

Buy lots more model cars.

[doobietoo]

I would become the shite avenger fighting against the forces of law to ensure that shite was kept alive in a small corner of Dorset but more likely i would buy a modern and turn it into shite

[lisbon_road]

Ride my bike probably.

 

Keep the oldest shite I have (in the picture) and just push it out the garage now and then and polish it.  Oh, that's what I do with it now, isn't it?

 

I hope that in a sane world there would be exceptions made for lpg cars and would convert everything to that.

[dugong]

This is the Junkman mantra. He tells it me every time he sees me out and about in my rammle, all of which are manuals. 

[sierraman]

I can't see how you would ban it? What next the thought police.
