Welcome Wayne - that`s a very tidy looking motor...

[Guest rebel2cv]

Hi guys and girls, I'm Chris, I've been kicking around the 2cv scene since 2000. I've had two 2cv saloons, a van, an ami, and a Dyane that never made it to the road. Other shite cars included a £500 polo that lasted a few months, a seat Córdoba.. That lasted half-way home. My current motor is actually a kit-car, but it's beige and twin engined, so I hope it's interesting enough to be allowed in here. Will upload pics when my iPad decides to play ball.

Welcome along.

Hi all, long term lurker, first time poster. Reckon it's time I posted hello. I run a small gagrage that repairs a right random mix of mostly old stuff, and have (dodgy) fleet of assorted motors including VW t25 Caravelle, VW beetle, mk2 Golf GTI 16v, Isuzu trooper, 1998 Audi A4 tdi, pug 106, and a 206 currently. Gotta say I almost cry with laughter anytime I come on here!

[drum]

Greetings. Postings of your garage news would be most appreciated if it relates to old stuff. And pics of the vags too please. A mate had an A reg mk 2 going with P slots. Only 8v but what a car in the 80s.

[rickvw72]

Cheers, any guide to posting pics on here? I'm genuinely useless with computer type stuff, mostly the reason why I didnt sign up sooner.

Hello,

I have a skoda fabia, not sure if it counts? It was fuelled by my wanting a cheap car and liking bit crap cars. I think if you can't be a top achiever you may as well look like an under achiever in style

[Guest wackyschild]

Evening all, this is a picture of my shite. The picture makes it look better than it is but at £450 I got what I paid for.

 

[dollywobbler]

Welcome new 'Shiters. Some quality* machines there.

[AldridgePrior]

New bum on the block. Currently have the use of the required shite to transport myself to work. Admittedly not mine.

 

One day I hope to own another. Possibly.

[Imhotep]

Figured I should maybe get on the forum as well as the Facebook page... I'm Lewis off the FB page, you know, with all the 106's.

[Guest unsaintly]

New cat on the block ..  will post my shite as soon as I can scan them in...shite I have owned include

 

1) A Riley Elf -- £90 and I was robbed

3) A Renault 12 which rusted away 

 

4) A Metro VP ... pure unadulterated crap ... disintegrated 

 

5) A Datsun Cherry.. all the street cred of a turd on your shoe

 

6) A Lada 1600 ES -- the ES stood for Especially Shite.. in fairness went well but had to wear a bag on my head when I drove it

 

7) A Chevette.....registration KOW which summed it up  really...

 

Non Shite have included...............

 

 ESCORT mk2 rally car .. when I thought I was the next Roger Clark....I wasn't.......this car went well but once again the tin worm got it 

 

9) A Sierra RS Cosworth rally car --- when I thought there had been some mistake why M Sport had not phoned.. there wasn't

 

10) other cars have included ..... a Firenza 2300 , Volvos including a P1800, S60, Capri`s x 3, and a Mini Cooper S JCW,..Mazda MX5 VT Sport

Welcome guys!

[The Old Bloke Next Door]

Hello from a long time lurker.

 

After three years of owning motor cycles, my car c.v. began in October 1966 when I purchased my first automobile, a 1957 Austin A35 two door saloon, which cost me £31 and 10 shillings. This was replaced about six months later with a 1955 Daimler Conquest for £25 ( I have a pic of this fine example of automotive engineering somewhere) which I'll post when I can find it.

 

Then a 1953 A30 two door saloon (£20), a 1949 Austin Sheerline (£20), 1960 Riley 1.5 (£15), 1964 Ford Zodiac Mark 3 (£20), then numerous BMC, Ford, Rootes Group, Vauxhalls, Jaguar 2.4/3.4/3.8/4.2, a Beetle, a Simca Aronde and a Renault Dauphine.

 

As my bank balance improved in 1973 I purchased a six months old Morris Marina 1.8 which I traded in for a new 1974 Ford Escort 1300 two door saloon. I sold that (big mistake) and imported a nine months old Chevvy Camaro 5.7 LT.

 

Then in 1980 I got married and quickly realised that the LT had to go and I needed to revert to Bangernomic's.

 

Current fleet consists of six Metro's, a Volvo 940, a Renault Clio Mk 1, a Ford Fiesta Finnese, a Mitsubishi Pajero, a VW T4, a Ford Transit Mk 4 190 van, a Ford Transit 230 Transporter, 4 Land Rover Series 3's and a Focus Estate.

 

Hopefully here is a pic of my yard I'll add some more detail and pics in due course.

[dollywobbler]

Crikey. Welcome. That's some fleet. Nice to see a pre-smiley Transit.

[Jim Bell]

Any person with a 940 in the fleet is a wise fellow. Welcome in.

This. Not that I am biased.

 

 

Welcome!

[brickwall]

Welcome all!

[I_am_Diesel]

Some nice vehicles coming into the Autoshite fold. Welcome guys.

[AldridgePrior]

Some quality thoroughbred shite in your history there.

 

Especially the Camaro.

[PiperCub]

Are you sure you've got enough?

[The Old Bloke Next Door]

Thanks for the welcome. The Camaro was one of the most memorable vehicles I've owned over the years.

 

Have I got enough?,too many, plan is over the next year to dispose of everything except the Pajero,LT,940 and one Metro, not decided which Metro to keep yet.

 

I don't have any pics of my Camaro,according to DVLA, LFD 141 V is not on their system.

 

A Youtube video of a similar Camaro,mine was bright blue with a white stripe that continued up the C-posts and over the back of the roof.
