New members, introduce yourself here.

Hey I finally got approval. I really do not know what went wrong But I had to try 3 times ( I think)

Live in Spain and I wanted to give some advise on how to export the Renault 7  from Spain, but I was not quick enough. All went smoothly in the end.

I will still do a write up with some links when I get the time.

I also hope to add some local Chod as this area really should be known as Chodland

My apologies, that was my fault. We get a reasonable amount of SEO spammers trying to register and your email address made me mistake you for one. Welcome!

[Remspoor]

I use an old email address for things like forums. In reality since I moved away from the city the server service is located in I should have given the email up. But it has a good spam protection. Plus it is easy for me to read emails on the sever. Yes it is in a totally different country to where I am based now. So Registration IP is very different to email IP. I do understand your conclusion. I was once a moderator many years ago.

Thankfully you let me join.

I don´t know what to say, as I am very bad introducing myself. Got my approval some days ago, at the 2nd time. I live in Spain, and I like cars very much, especially the French ones, but I also have a soft spot for classic British cars, and Rovers, that´s for sure.

[Tomtation]

Hi all, been lurking for a while enjoying the marvelousness* of the world of shite. Decided to finally register to give something back - whether or not anyone gives a fuck will remain to be seen

(green emoji chosen to cleverly reflect buying opportunity link of tenousity to great green rover 820 for sale)

 

I've had much shite over the years, the pinnacle of which was a mk2 astra avec duct tape on at least 4 of the corners which hapenned to be a 1.3 auto that would attempt to change gear when going around corners, this unfortunately meant that much speed was lost around said corners as it had a fit of indicision as to which gear it should be in (a choice of 4 shouldn't be that fecking hard to pick from eh?). What would any sensible person do? Top up the autobox fluid go faster into corners, yes.

 

Currently have a 1985 BX19 GT (bloody luverly, probably a keeper), an AX 1.0 Elation (gaurenteed* to create elatedness) and the aforementioned extra-shitey Rover 820.

 

I'll do a project thread at some point with all of that.

[Jim Bell]

Welcome in you newly approved folk. Dont forget rule 7.

 

 

No piddling in the shallow end.

[Tomtation]

What's rule 7? No cunting?

[clayts450]

Cunting is actively encouraged - there's an annual competition don't you know ?

[Tomtation]

Whoa! What's the prize?!

 

My particular cunting talent appears to be the use of the word cunt at the most inappropriate times, im that good* it's almost a form of art. The art of cunting, by Tomtation.

So you wait for a bus country to come  along and the two Spian's turn up! I am not Spanish So I cannot really say Spaniards.

It really shouldn't be.

IIRC you scored 5 in the "cunt euphemisms" category last year, Billy...

[Andy F]

Ah a fellow Xantia owner. Not many of us about! The only other one I see is my Dads of the same vintage. But his is black wiv a spoila innit.

[mark1986]

Hi all. got around to posting this morning after a fair while lurking. Only then discovered that apparently I had an account registered in 2008 that looks like it's never been touched 

 

Anyway back then I'd have been rolling around Guildford in a fairly mouldy but genuine 40k mile Cavalier Mk2 while I was at Uni there. Made my money back on that 2 years after buying it, and spent the proceeds on my Scirocco GTII which has spent the last 5 years in my grandfathers garage having popped a head gasket on the way back from a trip to France & Germany. Apart from that, and a leaky sunroof, it was in pretty good shape when it came off the road & now I'm considering whether to get to work on it.

 

Current transport is a 2001 Renault Clio 1.1, with 182k on it, despite which it has flown through the two MoT's since I've had it, and pretty much everything works. Well worth the £250 i paid 

 

Looking forward to getting involved

[mark1986]

And a few quick pics of the Scirocco, now that I've worked out how to attach them...

^Very nice

[Guest Norfolk_lad]

Good afternoon all! The name`s Paul,Im a long time lurker who has finally decided to register! Been reading with great interest some of the great collection threads-especially the international ones! would love to do something like that myself as I have a strange desire to own a mk2 SEAT Ibiza! (blaming a recent holiday to Spain for that!!) would love to fly to Spain and drive back in a shonky Ibiza!!! My current fleet is a 1997 Citroen ZX 1.9D as well as a 1993 Renault Clio RT! Ive waffled on for long enough-hope to contribute soon!!!

[EoGS]

After spontaneously appearing on that smokey Saab thread, I thought I should say hello -

 

Been lurking a while, mainly chuckling at the wisdom of Colin, but also enjoying the chod that folks drive about in.

 

Fleet as it stands right now is

 

a Saab 9-5 diesel estate. Which I can only assume was designed by Swedes who got drunk while locked in a GM parts cupboard. But it is a nice place to sit. I’ve sat in it for the last 55k miles.

 

The wife’s mk4 Golf. I hate this car and refuse to mention it again.

 

1973 VW bay window camper. Pineapple free. In fact it’s probably one of the minority to remain at original height, which makes me happy. It’s also off the road right now waiting for me to do some jobs, but soon...

 

Anyhow, I shall attempt to contribute...

[Ashy]

Hi I'm a new member from sunny saddleworth.

 

Currently trying to keep my 2003 Audi S3 on the road as it is going through a weekly phase of devouring parts. Always had a soft spot for the S3 due to them flying under the radar a bit and being 4wd and pretty quick.

Decided to get myself one in December and it's been a love/hate relationship ever since.

 

My Mrs says my car is shite so I hope I'll fit in ????????

[Dinkeridge]

Zack, 25 from Bow. Kate Bush still hasn't married me. But one day...

Oh and I"ve started combing my hair.

[Guest j8mes_b]

Hi all. Just thought i would say a quick hello.

 

Im a bit of a shiter and my current shiteheap is a classic 2002 Ford Ka Style that cost me a bargain £70. It wasn't a bargain at all. It needed a pair of sills.

 

Anyway i'm James, I am steeped in history when it comes to shite, Vauxhall nova, Citroen Saxo VTR, Sierra, Metros etc. 

 

I'm a glutton for punishment.

 

Look forward to chatting with you all

[chaseracer]

Welcome along, new persons.  Tea and biscuits over there; go easy on the pink wafers, they're a bit out of date.

[big_al_granvia]

might as well say hello, daily is a 05 plate almera, rolling restoration is the other half's granvia aka the funbus. Got a caravan and bosh the other half's too. Massive motorsport fan, been a marshal at knockhill for 10 years.. Right who is buying the beers

[Meter rat]

Hi all,

After lurking on here for awhile, whilst plucking up courage to introduce myself and as it is now raining, so work has stopped, I thought now is an appropriate time to introduce myself.

My name is Ian and I live in Ilkeston Derbyshire. I have a fondness for Citroen’s and currently drive an Acadiane and a 1.6 BX. Now the BX has come off the road I have started to address one or two issues, such as the bodged heating. Hopefully if I can work out how to post pictures, some may make an appearance .

 

King regards Ian

[DSdriver]

...Right who is buying the beers

 

Noobies with short arms and deep pockets will be strapped to a 2 post hoist and flogged. So it looks like its your round - welcome big_al_etc.

[Amped Flea]

Good evening shite people. New person here, currently driving an absolutely horrendous '02 330D Touring.

[MondeoBlues]

Hello chaps, I'm Sam from glamorous Birmingham. I'm an avid fan of shite and have been for as long as i remember.

 

Currently knocking about in a 1996 Ford Mondeo 1.8 GLX with a fucked heater. I bought it in Downham Market in Norfolk 18 months or so ago for £800 and it's only had a burst fuel line (hastily repaired with an offcut of pipe dad had lying around the garage and a couple of jubilee clips) and failed to start once for reasons known only to itself.

 

First car was a 1995 Rover 620 SLI in three shades of Nightfire Red, rust, and gaffer tape. Twatted by a Transhit on Halloween 2016. RIP in peace shite prince.

 

Looking forward to chatting with you guys

[Pillock]

Welcome. Did you bring biscuits?

[MondeoBlues]

Welcome. Did you bring biscuits?

Do Jaffa Cakes count?

[chaseracer]

Hell, yes.  Keep them away from Pillock, though.
