I can blame him for my interest in shit cars because hes had a few! My current shite assembly consists of a kia sorento, passed down, 2.5crdi i think, auto, crap on juice but serves well in pulling our caravan. Actually 2 caravans, ones a fluerette unsure of age but will be up for sale soon. Quite unique as a folding caravan. My other is a 1993 abi ambassodor. Sorry, this is a car forum....Managed to bag 4 alloys and good tyres of worldofceri for not alot, serving very well. I run a peugeot partner van on an 06 plate, would love to try veg but i think i have wrong pump?! Its solid and reliable though. You may be able to tell i no nothing in regards to mechanics but this is a humble place from my view of lurking! Great to be a part of this! Welcome to the forum you will fit in well.

Twisty Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Hello AutoShite Collective - firstly my return key on the laptop is broken so please excuse my horrible formatting. Long time lurker - FIRST POST! I'm Twisty - 32 years old with a serious chod bothering history. My first car (gifted) was a Citroen Ax 1.5D with no MOT and a rotten rear beam. Things have progressed speedily from there: Mk4 Escort 3dr 1.1 Bonus (£180 purchase cost?), Mk 4 Escort 3dr RS Turbo Replica with XR2i engine (£600), MK5 Cortina 2.0 (the most rotten car I've owned thus far), E30 318i Coupe High Lux (High Lux denotes electric windows, sunroof and snazzy side stripes (value for $$$$ = HIGH, BMW got on the commercialization of "features" very swiftly!); stop gap 1996 Clio 2 door as the BMW was broken - big surprise there!(was scrapped after an alternator replacement at home went bad (the Clio) ...If there are only 2 wires and you connect them the wrong way very bad things occur... then a 1986 E30 316i 2Ddr (coupe? I don't want to get into this conversion lol) should never have sold that one; 2 owners and 77k milage when I got it. I went sensible after this - 1998 A4 B5 1.9Tdi - quite uneventful transport device.(apart from crashing it, buying back from insurance company and repairing at home to return to the road) - moved to Australia got a Mazda B2600 Ute (pick up), then an E30 325E, then a E28 535i. Currently living in London rocking a 2002 Suzuki Swift! I'll try and get my phone linked up soon and post some photos!

regalrover Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Hello - I’m new here, judging by the username (I think I set it i have no idea how this works) you may tell I am quite fond of Rovers. Mainly 75s. I have an Old English White 75 2001 and used to have a blue one, which is now brown bread.

Griffin Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Hello all I've lurked on here in the past but keep reading about the site on pistonheads and am back! I run a Vauxhall Signum as a daily and have a mk2 Astra, not sure how to post pictures since the demise of photobucket. My favourite thing to read about are the unloved forgotten and cheap cars that need a bit of fettling to keep going. I'm off for an explore. eddyramrod and AnnoyingPentium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 1 hour ago, Griffin said: not sure how to post pictures since the demise of photobucket. Handily, it's just drag and drop if you're on a laptop/PC, or using the 'add files' button if you're working off a mobile. A good bit less hassle than a third party hosting site, I've found. Can you tell I'm impatient for Mk2 Astra pics? (Welcome, btw!)

New POD Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Nice. Fan blades. 4 stud or 5 ? Nice to see a 5 door. Obviously the only thing I'd change is that I'd have steel wheels and grey merit bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl1981 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Another newbie here, I’ve been lurking a while though…. have had my fair share of shite cars, and have a small fleet of things I find interesting (still shite though)… vw t25 westy, ‘81 air cooled, 200k miles, holiday wagon vw T5 kombi, ‘06 2.5 auto, 165k miles, family transport Jaguar XJ40, ‘94 3.2s, 60k miles, sentimental value, probably never sell it. jaguar XE, ‘16 2.0d auto, 20k miles, personal daily. Rover Metro, ‘94 1.1 Tahiti, 56k miles, recent 40th birthday gift from the wife and kids! (current favourite!) always lots going on keeping them going and improving them, so may start a fleet thread at some point! anyway, really enjoy visiting the forum and reading about like minded people tinkering with old cars that I thought only I was interested in!
