Kringle Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Chaps,Wanted to say hello, long time lurker and all that.For many years I've wandered from bad car to bad car, (all modern shite I'm afraid) wondering why I was the only one in the village with one car up on stands while the other is running around with a knackered gearbox and a bright red space saver (Renault why you do this to me?). Why couldn't I be normal and just have a golf on lease? or a Qashcow with suitably conformist 18 inch wheels and a sticker in the back window of a stick family.Well, it turns out I am not alone! Autoshite hath shon it's beacon of hope through my screen and has saved me from damnation.I hope to be joining in with many roffles and contributing my own tales of woe.So, without further ado here is a picture of my life. (two screaming children and disapproving Mrs Kringle out of shot) Also, as an example of my fine fettling, may I present a fractured and leaking expansion tank repaired by badly plastic welding a Lidl mushroom pot (other retailers are available). Am I in? CreepingJesus, MiniMort, Cleon-Fonte and 26 others 29
oldcars Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Welcome. Cannot stand the stick family stickers egg and Squire_Dawson 2
Dan_ZTT Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Fantastic work on the plastic welding, love that
Sigmund Fraud Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Well, it turns out I am not alone! Autoshite hath shon it's beacon of hope through my screen and has saved me from damnation. Save you from damnation ? Unlikely... Didn't you notice the phrase "lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate" in your registration confirmation email ? It's worth mentioning that before joining Autoshite, I only owned one car... LabRat and SiC 2
FakeConcern Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Sorry about the Daily Fail link (pointed out to me by Mrs Concern), but this explains why you are right and all the PCP lease drivers have it wrong. Nice fleet, by the way! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5290909/Millions-drivers-struggling-pay-car-payments.html
Fabergé Greggs Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Welcome! Aren’t those mushroom containers designed to be biodegradable?
For Fiats Sake Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Mushroom pot used in repairs - you are a fungi. I'll get me coat. billyboy406v6 1

robinmasters Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 No doubt you will soon enjoy* one of the irritatingly frequent threads on what 'qualifies' as shite. Age is often considered the main criteria, and some would argue that an '04 and an '05 are practically brand new; however, the Renault gets in due to it's handsomeness and reliability*, and the Mazda just scrapes through on account of the likelihood that it'll be as rusty as a much, much older car. [insert joke about an expansion tank not having mushroom in it]
SiC Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Vel Satis!! You'll be right at home here. What engine is in there?
Shep Shepherd Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Anyone who drives a Vel Satis will fit in here perfectly
chodweaver Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Am I in? 20161217_095631.jpg With skills like that?And a Vel Satis? HELL YES! Welcome!
Bren Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Given your the quality of your conveyances I take it welding and fault diagnosis are your forte? Welcome.
chodweaver Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 What engine is in there? ECP says it's the 3.5 petrol!!! HALLELUJAH! SiC, chaseracer and wuvvum 3
iainrcz Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Morning/evening/welcome. I'm new too. Sent from my VFD 710 using Tapatalk
Hendry Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Hello fella! you must be glutton for punishment, youve bought 2 family car specimens which would be shite enough alone, but together create a horrendous complication of flaky french electrics and wiring, and rotten rusty Japanese tin, rather than save yourself the grief and just buy a mk4 Mondeo or an Avensis, but that would be boring, top shiteing Must admit i do love the styling of both veeeehikals.
Kringle Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 Thank you my friends, thank you. Hello fella! you must be glutton for punishment, youve bought 2 family car specimens which would be shite enough alone, but together create a horrendous complication of flaky french electrics and wiring, and rotten rusty Japanese tin, rather than save yourself the grief and just buy a mk4 Mondeo or an Avensis, but that would be boring, top shiteing Must admit i do love the styling of both veeeehikals. Yes, I fully appreciate that they are modern shite. Sadly Mrs Kringle wishes that children be placed in at least a 4 star ncap car. I believe that if you just hold on tighter things will pan out just fine, but what do I know? Is this rusty enough to be considered shite? LessThanEqual 1
