Quick question:  how do I stop it being necessary for my replies to be approved by a moderator? 

I tried messaging the moderators but didn't get a response; I may have failed to do so.

I too thought this, but chose to keep my mouth shut.

 

Anyhow, short of not wanting to start an unnecessary new thread, does anyone know if there is a thread for "fake" shitboxes? MR2 based Ferraris, that kind of thing?

Surely that's the ultimate in autoshite?

Hi all,I'm Paul.This is my maestro that I'm trying to find a new home for.I wasn't especially looking to buy a maestro or any classic for that matter but the car found me,here's how.

A mate of mine was tasked with selling this on behalf of a friend of a friend etc.Upon seeing that beige interior it sparked a memory and that was that,I had to have it,only problem was it had been off the road for 19 years,had no mot or key and was 100 miles away.

Luckily I'd managed to find a lockset then got it recovered to chez Wirral for further inspection.Once I drained the tank and checked the carb I put new fuel in and it started and ran sweet.I recommissioned it over the year with the intention of taking it to a few shows then I'd try to sell it.However,this was just before the virus was a thing and then lockdown happened and that put pay to any shows or trying to sell it,so I've waited till now to get it tested, which it sailed through before putting it up forsale.The thing I like most about it is it's patina which tells a story.The car still wears it's dealer plates and stickers and is a great survivor car.

Hello everyone.

Based near Newbury. I'm here for some bargains and some fast sales to get my regrets out of my way in a timely manner!

Hello all, my name is Tom. I’ve been a lurker on here for some time but I have finally decided to make an account. If anyone is interested I would be happy to document my fixing of a slightly scabby rover 2000.

Er....yes.

Welcome. That looks ace.

[High Jetter]

Ooh hello! Please tell me the Clark & Lambert treadplate is still on the n/s sill? Would appreciate a pic of that if so and, of course,  to hear about your fixerating.

[eddyramrod]

Interested???  We've got a P6 in the logo!  Hell yeah we're interested.

[Enri-3000]

Words cannot describe how impressed I am at that knowledge, I will get a photo of the treadplate sent over as soon as possible.

[beko1987]

I'm more interested in your avatar pic, welcome! Just a random image or do you like shit old hoovers as much as shit old cars? 

[Yank Tank]

Well hello.

Bob here - Ex pat now working out of Mountain View, CA.  'bout 10 miles from San Jose on the west coast of the states.  What you guys call Silicone Valley.  I heard you guys mentioned on Twitter a few weeks ago so thought I'd take a look.  

As my handle suggests, I'm predominantly interested in 1950-1970s trucks, but also love to see the cars of my youth being preserved.

[eddyramrod]

Welcome aboard Bob!  Do you happen to know any sources of used Cadillac parts?

Have you tried ebay.com, rather than .co.uk ?  

Postage is likely to be prohibitive I guess, but that's the joy of running cars from the other side of the tracks.  😁

[eddyramrod]

You're absolutely right, of course.  I guess I'll just carry on making-do and mending...

Hi everyone I've been  lurking  around here for a while so it's time I signed up. I am a weirdo living in the deep woods of southern Norway and spend a lot of  time on old tractors and cars. I have a broad interest in everything from cars to trucks / buses to Soviet / Eastern Bloc agricultural machinery to everything in between. history and more. I am also dyslexic and not native English speaking so sorry if things get weird at times. When it comes to cars, there is not much interesting happening right now. But of previous cars I can mention 2 highlights. One a total shitheap of a Seat Ibiza which was roll painted with hammerite paint and consisting mostly of filler and had a rust hole in the floor so big that I was afraid that the dog would fall through.  And the other a tired Volvo 740 estate in faded red with hammerite black roller painted roof after a blasting accident that I lived in for a short period and drove to northern Norway through Sweden and Finland on a long trip in 2014.

Hello!

I cannot believe I have been on the internet for decades yet only just found this wonderful forum.

I'm currently having a spell of bad autoshite luck. My beloved Puma dumped its coolant and warped the block earlier this year. Its now with a member of Prac Classics as a engine swap project. Following that was an E39 530d which aquaplaned off the A3 as it had some Lingalonger Ditchfinders on it. Now on a high mileage E91 3 Series Touring which recently decided to give it's ECU a bath and awaiting a fix.

In time hope to own various Longbridge tat, especially of interest being the R3 200/ZR, the 75, Aggros, MGF.

Oh and developing a worrying interest in French stuff...
