How old does my car need to be...

[stripped fred]

...to include it in this section, 10 years?

It needs to be shite. Shite is not age related.

[omegod]

Shite is timeless

[chaseracer]

Shite is in the eye of the key holder...

[Junkman]

Unless it's newfangled tosh.

Then it goes into the section whose name must not be mentioned.

Pistonheads?

[Tamworthbay]

Or is it Volvomort?

[stripped fred]

The car I've just bought, a Saab 9-5. It is just over 10 years old. It is an old design though and I don't like pistonheads. It is a bit shite and I've not seen many on the road. Does it count? PS. I'm not asking junkman because I know his answer as it was built after 1986.

[stripped fred]

It was also shite money, £1k and it was broken...

[plasticvandan]

My definition of shite is anything that uses an FS key for a lock somewhere on the car.

ALL saabs are shite, so unloved that even GM didn't want them.

When is the roffle?

That's not shite money, you could get ten or even twenty shite cars for that

Unless its a Chinese MG - that bypasses 'new fangled tosh' and goes straight in to the shite chart at No 1

I seem to be changing cars every 9 months at the moment so about August time. I need to spend a large amount of money on it first.

I know. I'm under the mistaken apprehension that if I spend a grand it will be more reliable. I know, deluded.

I wasn’t suggesting that new cars need to go on pistonheads, just that pistonheads is ‘the section that shouldn’t be named’

If you know the answer, then why do you ask?

ALL saabs are shite, so unloved that even Vauxhall didn't want them.

[Captain Furious]

The thing that turned me off retro rides was the almost permanent identity crisis over ‘what was retro’ - drove me fucking mad

 

Fortunately just about any old crap can be autoshite if there are enough (ie 1) other people who have a soft spot for/always liked/has a hankering for whatever it is that you’ve bought

[stripped fred]

I will update when it gets back from the garage!

Good car

Hang on, I could buy FIVE broken 9-5s for that & have change for a tank of fuel...

[clayts450]

Funnily enough I'm deliberating over a cheap, (possibly not) fucked 9-3 dizzla (2003) which hopefully* just needs an EGR clean up. But then part of me is thinking 'too modern'.

 

So I'm back to looking at 1990s shit heaps where there are less than 25 models on the road.

 

If the Saab is still available in the morning I may change my mind again

My own definition of shite is something that is undesirable to the sheeple

I'm in and my Range Rover is a 2003

I should be ok then. Recent Saab's seem to be pretty undesirable based on how much they cost and how difficult they are to move on.
