Shiter Of The Year

[Felly Magic]

I think we should have a Shiter Of The Year Award, for being the most dedicated, and slightly unhinged shiter/Shite Hero. IMHO Bournidentity and Dollywobbler are in the running, BI has been trying so hard to save the unloved, with a couple of sad near misses, and kudos for him dusting himself off after the Mondeo thread, and now sadly the mega mile Alditaxi, and DW for the utterly hatstand bathchair on wheels thread, plus a possible overseas collection in the not too distant future.

 

What do you peeps think? 

 

[Parky]

Great idea. Datsuncogs Laguna epic should definitely earn a nomination.

 

Also Heidel Kakao's Nissan from Finland and Panhards Spanish hearse.

 

Personally I'd give the award to The Shadow now.....

[Guest Hooli]

Depends, if it's based on the threads resulting from the insanity then Datsuncog has won it with ease. His posts are a world above any of the so professional journalists on here. Which probably explains why I've not bought a mag in years, everything in them is written to make it boring even if it's an interesting subject.

[Junkman]

It's not even May yet.

[Felly Magic]

Yeah I know JM, but it's a good idea to start a thread about it, perhaps around November we can start a poll? You have to admit though, it does take big balls to drive a bath chair at almost 60 mph on public roads, DC's Lagunaseca thread shows bloody mindedness over broken Renners too I agree. JM's exploits last year of bringing a Rusty Renner to Blighty from the German version of Lincolnshire deserves a mention too now I think about it.

BTB...if he buys a Toyota

[Mally]

With a suitable annual trophy to be handed over the following year so you can't chuck it in the bin.

[sierraman]

What sort of trophy would you have?

 

Something like a 20p piece mounted on a Peugeot 405 handbrake or a Maxi diesel engine mounted on a plaque made of oak but coated in Formica.

[chodweaver]

Rolled gold tie wrap?

 

Roll of duct tape made of gold leaf?

 

Let's not forget Stanky's stalwart efforts with the Geep...

The golden turd

[Jim Bell]

Shitter of the month poll, leading to an end of season shitter of the year award?

 

Mods could make a little sig for the winners I bet.

[inconsistant]

I like how uncompetitive this place is.

[mrbenn]

I'd like to nominate WilsonWilson.

 

Among his many successes, the man bought a BMW that was not only brown on the outside, but brown inside too.

[Squire_Dawson]

What sort of trophy would you have?

 

 

Maestro clock.

[davocano]

I like how uncompetitive this place is.

 

Me too. Competition is for loosers!

[Pillock]

 

 

Wonky Maestro clock.

Fixed.

[beko1987]

I'm not mad keen on the idea tbh but would be if the wonky maestro clock was the prize! Just pass it around every year, the winner each year/month wires their forum name on then lobs it in the post for the next person

[Split_Pin]

Brothers_Touring for the fact that they basically changed my Corsa engine for me with me just supervising. Buying an Oxford, discovering it was quite rusty, buying a welder, welding it up and also a GSA in the meantime, as you do. And MOTing the Toledo. Plus about 4 others.

[Kiltox]

TBH there’s far too many fucking mentalists for one award - can we have categories?

 

FOAD’s knob van transformation is definitely worthy

[Jim Bell]

Any competition that values my contribution is a farce and a sham.

[Jim Bell]

And the interior is tan, not brown.

[Felly Magic]

Tan is just a posh name for light brown

[Split_Pin]

Isnt tan merely a lighter shade of orange?

[fatharris]

Wilson^2 would get my vote for poo count alone.

 

Literally adding the "shite" to AutoShite.

[Datsuncog]

Honoured and humbled as I am to have my nom-de-guerre held in such high regard, I would find it hard to consider myself anywhere near the Shite Hero levels of so many legends who battle daily on these beige pages.

 

I would tend to view myself as both of the Chuckle Brothers smooshed together to create a gestalt entity, who then decide to self-harm through the medium of decrepit French hatchbacks.

 

But it's nice to know that my inept histrionics can raise a smile, nonetheless.

[Talbot]

Wonky Maestro Vdp digital dashboard that just will not shut the fuck up about low screenwash fluid level

Fixed.

Double Cannot be fixed.

[inconsistant]

Not just adding it but spreading it nationwide

You see the use of terms such as nom-de-guerre, gestalt entity, and Chuckle Brothers in the same post is just one of those things that sets this place apart!

[dollywobbler]

Not sure to be honest. Might cause issue if people become popular on a forum for unpopular people. Honoured to be mentioned, but I reckon the Thread of the Year competition was about as competitive as we should get. That was a good crack, and the best thread won.

[BorniteIdentity]

I was of the same opinion as those above; flattered yet a bit embarrassed.

 

However, I do LOVE the idea of a monumentally shit trophy being made. Winner photographs it somewhere with themselves (work, landmark, precarious sexual position) before it is posted on to the next winner.

 

A cue ball gear knob grafted onto a Renault 6 parking brake, or a 20p gaffataped to a Peugeot one sounds frankly awful and beguiling in equal measure.
