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🤜🤛

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…

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:

20230629_191501.thumb.jpg.a3651c2a6eb271e579049916d45a46b3.jpg

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.

20200313_152932.thumb.jpg.698a4d6602186e55d35bad6c1f4fe420.jpg

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...

20230522_161847.thumb.jpg.50c9aabfd541cf28f47339c7727de560.jpg

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.

Welcome. It's not all about the fleet but I suspect you'll fit in. Moar Invader, please.

Just north of Brum, Place called Cannock. Here's a couple of pics of my old Neon's (which I loved - I don't care what you say!!). I've only ever had three cars - two Neon's and currently my Chrysler Delta

That is not so bad. We know it here in Spain as a Lancia. That gives it  badge kudos. Same platform as the Bravo too. The problem I would see is we could get it with a 1.4!

The back end is certainly the best bit of the outside.

My partner had one first, and we changed the grill and the badge at the back to Lancia ;)

Hello neighbour, Heath Hayes calling!

Cannock is well-known within this electronic parish.  We used to visit the auctions near Longford House regularly, shiters would travel from far and wide!  A couple of brave souls even left with an extra car...

Hello new friends, @outlaw118 has been going on to me for ages to get on here but I haven't had the relevant shite to feel worthy of such a forum. But here is a start. My pride and joy, my 18th birthday present, ´Nigel´ as he was lovingly called, an MG ZS 180 MK1. That's the most English name me and my mates could think of at the time, I could picture a middle aged bloke with a big bushy tash with a fag in his mouth putting it together somewhere in the midlands. Suffered classic MG problems, to quote @outlaw118(which made me chuckle) ´terminal crispiness´.
