richdcoll Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Howdy! My name is Rich, from the wilds of Carmarthenshire, South West Wales. Have a penchant for 90s and early 2000s Audi cars. I currently have 3! Two non runners (2003 Allroad, 2003 A6 C5 Avant Quattro) and a daily A4 Avant Quattro on 227,000 miles. I'm using parts from the A6 to fix up the Allroad, which currently needs a bit of work on the engine. I say a bit of work... the fuel injection pump is knackered. It's a manual, so I'm really keen on keeping this and getting it running, namely for towing our caravan, wife, two kids, two dogs, 4 mountain bikes and whatever else! I also want to do a big of green-laning, so i'll be pillaging whatever I can from the drivetrain and rear quattro system on the A6, expecting some damage in the future. I'm not sure how I stumbled across this forum, but it's me down to a tee! Nice to meet you all🤜🤛 GrumpiusMaximus, Mi30n, CreepingJesus and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mi30n Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Hi all, I seem to also without realising it been a lurker for 2 or 3 years! Thanks to @gm for introducing me. I don’t at the moment have any real shite but we do have a family mx5 that originally was mine that has been passed around the family. After I decided to downgrade and got a £500 quid silver basic spec mx5 pictured below… We also have a pug 106 Xnd which may be up for sale soon and ticks all the autoshite faves! #megamoonmpg and finally the daily is an electric shite etron which can hide in the corner… stuboy, richdcoll, GrumpiusMaximus and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Whiskey Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Hi all, I'm newly joined after seeing some of @dollywobbler s vids mentioning the sweary forum. I'm not sure if my fleet qualifies me as a bona-fide autoshiter, but the content here makes me feel at home, and rather reminds me of the Jalopy magazine I used to enjoy in the dim and distant past. Certainly a much better read than the MaxPower everyone else at school seemed to be reading.... Anyway here's the fleet: 2009 Kia Ceed. My third, each slightly less shite than the last. Cheap to run, reliable, nice to drive and all the toys. One of few normal cars I like. It allows me to have other more interesting vehicles and know I'm not stranded. 2005 Discovery. My do anything and everything vehicle, and let's face it, a hobby to keep on the road all by itself. And yes I'm a shed dragger too, though it does get used in 7 seat mode, and also for dragging other more interesting things on trailers, such as... 1973 Gilbern Invader, the 18 year on/off resto and labour of love that's finally back on the road this year, though still a long way from finished. My uncles car once, that I brought back into the family. Nice to meet you all.
