Been lurking over here for a good while now but finally got round to sorting out an account here, good to be able to say hello

No long list of exotic* cars here but I own a slightly shonky 1994 Corolla Liftback that I rescued off a family friend after it had been sitting a few years (where it suffered an incredible amount of bad drivers bumping into every corner), and it's continued to function perfectly as my first car ever since. Made the trip over to festival of the unexceptional last year in it which is possibly the furthest it's been in decades and am currently kicking my feet over not going to rustival too

 

Outside of that I'm a big fan of 80 and 90s shitters in general (with a side of modern japanese chod too, love a good silly kei box) and spend most of my time doing mod stuff over on BeamNG.

Corol my beloved, nice to see it again

welcome aboard, that looks clean, feel free too tell us more about it..

[Tineca]

Ann thanks. It’s a 1970 with 53k original miles. It’s got all the history and bill of sale. I’ve had a few Moggies but this is the nicest. It’s going to get a few subtle upgrades to make it safer. Van rims and 175s, mg metro head and inlet and carb. Anti roll bar on front and disc brakes. Underneath its mint. I like bmw e30s and sold a 323i last year which is now in Yorkshire restoration on YT. Like narrowboats too.  Dear me  narrowboats, morris minors when did I get old!, 😀

That's a gem - very late saloon, too. Stick up a thread on it; I'd be intrigued to know more! I had bags of fun with my old trafalgar blue 2 door years back.

Dunno your age but many young'uns like Mogs & barges.

Hello. I'm an old new member. I was active on here many years ago when I owned two Peugeot 205s and shared a DAF44 with a mate. We also bought an MR2 together and I then drifted off for a while to have kids and sold my Boxster. 

I couldn't remember my login so I have re registered. 

I'm currently driving a BMW 330e as a daily (but that's not why I'm here) and also a 1998 Alfa GTV which I've had for a few weeks. 

It has already shat itself and I've just got it running again with a new clutch slave cylinder. 

It's a lovely old thing and it's great to have an old car (and some clutch fluid) on the drive again!

Welcome, that's cool. I love Ashes to Ashes. Had a chance to buy a couple of the cars from the show over the years (Dolomite and Mk3 Escort) but nice to see someone who has one.

A friend of my grans had a E reg white Sunny in the early to mid 90s, unfortunately it was written off at a roundabout after someone ran into the back of it

welcome aboard.... love the sunny and the cortina.

I feel like an imposter in some respects. My original screen name was Bianconeri but I managed to lose / mess up that sign on and couldn't make contact with the mods to get it resolved. I am also currently carless - a medical condition  means I can't drive. That may prove to be temporary.

If you would like to return to your previous Bianconeri account, let me know by PM and I'll sort it out for you.

Hi - I just discovered this forum - some of the more unhinged content reminds me of the A5 format 'Jalopy' magazine of the 1990s.

I am mostly interested in bikeShite - I have a Yamaha IT425g, a Suzuki Burgman 200 and a Honda GL1800 as well as custody of my GF's Suzuki RGV250 (which is awaiting reassembly in the shed).

Previous bikeShite includes Kawa z200, Kawa GPz750, Kawa GPz1100, Kawa GPZ900R, Yamaha IT250g,  Yamaha SRX600,  Suzuki GS125,  Honda ST70, Honda C90, Honda CD250.

As for carShite - I have a pair of ancient Porsche 924 autos to circumvent the ULEZ idiocy where I live.

Previous carShite includes (many) Jaguar XJ40s, Citroen CX estate, series 3 Land Rover air portable, Fiat 126 , Ford Capri 2.8 and a 1995 Suzuki Baleno auto (easily the best car ever IMO).

Well over three quarters of the above were either free or dirt dirt cheap. The best way.

How dare you. Our doctors are the finest that the metal health care can provide. They tell us  that we are not unhinged, we are certifiably reasonable in an insane world. 

Welcome to this bit of sanity*.

Hi everyone,

I'm from the UK originally but now live in Mexico. I've owned a wide variety of old sheds over the years, and often ship UK cars over here to play around with and sell on when I'm bored with them. Over the past 10 years or so I've had:

1997 Volvo 850 T5

2x MR2s, 1 turbo and 1 non turbo

5x Jaguar XJs 2003-2006

3x Range Rovers 2006-2008

4x Rolls Royce Silver Shadows 1975-1979

More Land Rover 110s than I can count

My current fleet consists of a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.7 hemi, a 2003 Lincoln Town Car, an ex military 1987 Land Rover 110, a 1994 Land Rover Defender 110 and a 2013 Cayenne.  I've read these forums for years but never signed up until now. I'm not a mechanic but I do have a lot of experience buying old sheds so hopefully I can help a few people out along the way.

I was hoping to be able to access the classified ads but it looks like I'm not able to, maybe because I don't have enough time or posts? I'll leave a few pictures below of some of my past and current cars.
