This week's accidental eBay purchase!

Apparently it'll be mot'd by the end of the week and I can go get it.

Seeing snow covered shitboxes getting beaten down a frozen country lane reminds me of David's Farm. Despite all the justified controversy that was the original (Candian) shite channel.

I loved that channel right up till I found out what he had done 🤬

Some more shite inbound!

A Reliant pickup and an 80's Sunny with a quality tidemark. Still waiting on hearing back about this Landrover Discovery I've won on ebay.

Love that. No MOT history online so I'm guessing long-term storage somewhere... Elderly owner passed away?

Had a bit of an issue on Monday when trying to drop off the slk, a horrible chapping from the truck followed by no servo assisted brakes meant I had to turn back.

The cause, a fucked vacuum pump. The stop solenoid on the fuel pump also appears to be vacuum operated so it would continue running without the key.

Ordered a new one from autodoc so hopefully be back on the road soon.

With the slk away today a space appeared briefly but will soon be filled with this old shitter.

That Datsun is brilliant, proper timewarp from circa 1987, just after the giffer owner had proudly applied some black hammerite to all his carefully crafted wob repairs to doors and rear arches.

I'm currently drowning in shite so doing a bunch of raffles tonight.

A thousand tickets please. That's even sexier than the R-reg one.

It'll be going at some point. Having a break over the next few weeks.

I reckon with 20k you might even convince him to sell it rather than raffle it!

They're riding an elderly 125 back to Norway?  Fuck me.  I rode a Honda CB125T to Bristol one winter and it damn near killed me.

First roffles of 2024 underway, both so horrific that free delivery is included!

Chevette is currently leading but running this for the next couple of weeks so all could change.

im surprised no one actually owns SHT80X, being X suffix, you could legitimately put it on a suitably shonky BL car for maximum Autoshite points :) 

Posted

Phwoar! Rostyles must mean a GL or GLS spec (if original)

Posted

That is peak Chevette. Like it a lot. 

Posted

for some reason I thought you might end up with that when I saw it for sale.  Great buy

Last minute decision this morning to add the Corolla into the mix for tonights draw.

It seems people will enter for any old shite!

I dropped off the Estelle with the driver of the yellow truck who's going to take the three of them to their new owners this week.
