Morning all!

Long term lurked breaking cover for the first time. I'm a serial Merc licker although I'm pretty partial to Italian stuff too.

I bought this thing as a short-termer... erm 4 years ago after selling my W124 and W123 coupe.

Hi All,

New member saying Hello from Taunton, Somerset. I know a couple existing members hence joining. Always some interesting topics/info to be had.

 

I recently became custodian of my grandparents Mercedes Benz 190D so i'll be searching for info and posting a few things up in the hope some people are in the know. It's in Ireland still so I need to get back over and collect it sometime. Aside from that I have a constant flow of slightly newer stuff that comes and goes.

Thanks buddy. I wasn't a fan of the colour when I was told it would be mine and I tried to recall the colour in my head, but seeing it in the flesh, with the red interior, it sparked something I wasn't expecting.

 

I'll be honest it's had a 2 copy wings and a polish but she's looking well for nearly 200k miles. I'll cover it in detail in the appropriate area.

Bottles, hundreds of old bottles and containers. I don't know much about them. This is part of an old farm I'm not familiar with.

Holy shit, red interior as well? What a combo.

I'd say likely... (the song now stuck in my head)

 

As a side note, due to the SHEAR VOLUME of interest (4ppl). I made a post covering the life & times of said 190D:

Not sure mate. There are atleast 4 and I didn't get a chance to look at them in detail unfortunately. All owned by the other side of the family. Some restored, some not.

Thought I'd say hello. I've signed up so I can read my friend Pete's post
 


But it still won't let me read it. Ho hum, maybe if I post something.

Hello all. Long time lurker, known as Samage on some of the other automotive forums. Used to be on here, managed to lose my password AND no longer have access to the recovery email... doh! I only had 16 posts anyway, so why not go for a change? :D

Always loved a bit of shite, quite a keen shite spotter, currently drive a "shabby chic" (see also: scruffy) Mk1 Mazda MX5 which is a rolling resto, and have my first car in a lockup miles away from where I live, a 1971 VW Beetle in kit form (failed its MOT spectaularly 10 years ago, and been very slowly restoring it. Or more accurately, paying my mate to.) Previous convictions include a VW K70 (which was a basket case, sold to a restorer) and a 1991 Polo saloon (the only car I genuinely regret selling).

I also have a modern car, a 2017 Skoda Fabia which I won't mention much on here. At least not until it becomes shite, give it another 25 years or so, the Shitening shall befall it sooner or later. I actually don't hate moderns as many Shiters seem to, they have their place - taking the strain so my shite doesn't have to. :)


Anyway, hello!

HI Russ, Welcome to the wondrous world of Autoshite.

Perhaps if you go to my profile then you'll see the links via that.? 

Pete.

Welcome Russ, new members need to post ten times and then they are admitted into the open forum too  ?

^  I didn't know that.   I'm not questioning the policy but just out of interest might I enquire why that is ?

Hello i have been approved so i thought i would say hello, i have always driven autoshite cars as i love the charm of a car that was made to be normal but then proves itself to be a lot of fun. I currently own a Ford Mondeo MK3 Edge and an ultra rare Peugeot 106 Aztec Si as featured on Furious Driving. I have lurked around for a while but then thought i should join so thank you for allowing me to.

Any chance we can apply something similar (perhaps stricter) to the for sale section? We seem to have an influx of people only joining to try and buy cheap shite with no interaction elsewhere.

Noticed this too.

Concerning, if it's folks after some Instagram kudos, after which the car will get weighed or sticker bombed.

Hello, short term lurker, know a couple of others on the forum.  South Manchester area.

Did own a Fabia vRS until a few months ago that was getting shite around the edges, but had to go after a neck injury wasn't healing quickly enough for me to drive it. Running around in a modern (and dull) Toyota Hybrid with featherlight steering on loan from a family member at the moment. Something more interesting would definitely be preferred!
