Angry Sheep Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Thoroughly enjoyed my first Autoshite meet, thanks all for making me feel welcome. Really enjoyed the mix of cars. Here are a few of my slightly average phone pics... Looking forward to the next one alf892, RobT, EssDeeWon and 6 others 9
Shep Shepherd Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I could be swayed by curry... purplebargeken and Jerzy Woking 2
oldford Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Looking at these photos I'm even more gutted I wasn't able to make this. Just to make you feel better: You missed a cracking good day out and should have been there trigger, alf892 and purplebargeken 3
seth Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 A fuggin' great huge hornet landed on the radiator grille of the Rover 12. It was enormous and looked like it could wrestle the keys from any of us. Confused because not Wolsely. oldford, Parky, Shep Shepherd and 3 others 6
purplebargeken Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 Did anyone spy the red Mk3 Cav 1.8i in the carpark
oldford Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I saw it and a K reg Sierra in Enfield on the way home. purplebargeken 1
EssDeeWon Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Yes I saw that Ken, tidy looking L reg Cav parked around the front of the pub.
BorniteIdentity Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Sorry to have missed it - ruddy hate working on the sabbath. A festive curry would be an excellent way to see the year out. It's what Joseph and Mary would have wanted. Problem is: the only thing dirtier than a daytime curry is a sober kebab. But at night, I won't be able to fap ove... I mean enjoy the cars.
andrew e Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 A nice lunchtime amble indeed -very nice to have chinwag with like minded chaps.
inconsistant Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 What this thread needs is more photos the same as all the others: Nearly didn't make it. Being a bit of a mechanical dick I jet washed the car and got a bit close to the engine bits, which then refused to start due to over moistness. All good in the end though.Agree with all others, it was great to meet some likeminded souls, to find out who you really are and what you look like, and to get several simultaneous under bonnet diagnoses was a rare treat. Will replace that split hose and feed back. Thanks for spotting it, er... I think it was Oldford. Great to see EssDeeWon's primrose 75, a lovely car and you definitely did the right thing getting it... also a bit weird to find out you're not in your late 50s as I'd imagined. RobT's Daimler was a bit of a treat, as was Alan's Mazda, Seth's hunter, that lovely Metro... actually for a small gathering it was an amazingly diverse group of cars. Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to everyone. oldford, Angrydicky, RobT and 3 others 6
EssDeeWon Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Thanks for the Shitannia cassette tape, Fleetwood Mac played all the way home, I now have that song 'Caroline' in my head. inconsistant 1
Alan_Green Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Was very pleasant. Thanks for organising. Interestingly Autoshite is less sweary in real life. inconsistant 1
purplebargeken Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 The bollocks it is I think the swear filter died very shortly after AS became sentient. Thus enabling AS'ers to be able to vent swearily without any form of redress. AS is catharsis personified.
danthecapriman Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Small shiters meet? Looks more like car show material! All fantastic looking cars there. I should make the effort to come to one of these meets. Essex isn't all that far away from Hampshire! I could of lowered the tone of this event considerably and brought my filthy Granny, or maybe bring the yank on the next one if I get it back in time.
purplebargeken Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 That would be great ^^ danthecapriman 1
purplebargeken Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 I think I might have to claim some sort of prize for the only car there to have a towbar!
Parky Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Loved the fact that Alan's Mazda has the firing order cast into the cam cover - never seen that before. Don't know why more manufacturers don't do useful stuff like that, such as "no, the oil goes in here, screen wash is on the left" and so forth. So how many of us were on eBay last night checking out 924's and Metro's??? Can't have just been me! oldford, trigger and Angry Sheep 3
inconsistant Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Alan's Mazda has the firing order cast into the cam cover - never seen that before. Also on 924. Another reason to get one! Parky and oldford 2
KruJoe Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Interestingly Autoshite is less sweary in real life. You've not met W_T_Claim..?
inconsistant Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Oops just realised I didn't pay for Dartford crossing on Sunday. Just paid online without drama, was expecting fines and frustration but just the £5 to pay for a 'return journey'. Seems easy enough.
purplebargeken Posted October 21, 2015 Author Posted October 21, 2015 They normally get in touch and offer you the chance to pay in full without penalty. Unless you are a serial offender and stick 2 fingers at the cameras each time you pass
purplebargeken Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 Rightyho.

flat4alfa Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Don't know about you but I'm still in October and can't bear to think about Christmas until Mr Fawkes has been put out
flat4alfa Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Forgot to apologise for not showing up and I have no excuse apart from looking at the weather and deciding against Will try better next time purplebargeken 1
Craig the Princess Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Sounds good to me, in depending on date
purplebargeken Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 Like most things it is good to plan with time to spare. October seems to be hurtling past and Nov is only round the corner. 9 weeks till Christmas (I think). Any preferred dates to start us off?
andrew e Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Date dependant (continental shifts like) yep, I'm in. But why wait till Christmas?
purplebargeken Posted October 23, 2015 Author Posted October 23, 2015 Ha! I sense a curry addict. Why wait indeed. So curry next month then? Who is up for that instead
