chodweaver Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Will this now be an autoshite 'thing'? Crowdfunding the repair of a stranger's car? I like to think that yes, this will happen again and yes, maybe even become a thing. Not specifically a stranger's car though - the act of scooping up a shite car unnecessarily on its way to the bridge and its being fixed and returned to the road exactly as FOAD has done here, is the important bit. If the car joins the fold or at least remains known to the AS massive, all the better. Oftentimes many of us find it tough to keep our chod of choice working - for some just keeping mobile can be a challenge - but time and again the collective finds the resource, be it a loan car, a spare part, a Shitely chain, a tool or a manual, a shoulder or a fiver. TL:DR This place etc. Let's get that Dolomite fixed, then see what's next. Sent from my BV6000 using Tapatalk NorthernMonkey, Mrs6C, Fumbler and 13 others 16

somewhatfoolish Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 This is what would have happened if Autoshite had been commissioned to organise the Scrappage Scheme.Lacking ambition; when *timetravel is invented a crack team of shiteists will be sent back to kidnap the Pheonix Four and lock them in a Standard 2000 until they sign over the company to the Autoshite Trust, safeguarding the future of shite production in Longbridge and Cowley.

nrm69 Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 We followed the Visa for a bit yesterday on our way to the Pantomime. He was being tailgated by a new RS6 estate (in-between us) but Visa driver didn't have to slow down for speed humps or narrow traffic islands.Great job saving it.

Mrs6C Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Yesterday I found myself drafting a PM to own the Allegro VP and had to have strong words with myself.

Angrydicky Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Funnily enough it looks like I'm getting roped in to putting a pair of sills on the Visa belonging to my parents next door neighbours soon. It's a blue Y reg hatch. Haven't looked at it closely yet but I'm told the rust is localised to the sills. Would be interested in any leads for new sill panels, preferably ones that are a decent fit.
