Is There An Autoshite Wish List?

[Negative Creep]

Something I've been wondering (yes I'm bored.) On car clubs there are always wishlists of particular cars you have to own at some point. for example, if you're talking performance/driver's cars most people would want to own a 911/M3/MX5/yank V8/Skyline etc etc at some point. So is there a shite wishlist? If so, I'd suggest the following:Something brown or beigeCar bought to avoid taking public transport home (done that)Randomly coloured body panel(s)Non turbo diesel (done)Any others?

[Pillock]

Hehe thinking about it I've done all four of those, the public transport one twice. Maybe I'm shiter than I thought.

One of my wishes would be to buy a MOT'd car off the bay especially for a single marque/group car show, and drive it there the next day. Like a Maxi or an Allegro for BL Day in Peterborough Mark.

I've done all the above other than the 'buy for a show' thing.Bought a hand painted, matt black, velour trim, V reg SIII Jag XJ6 3.4 to get home from Crewe because it was cheaper than the train tickets for me and my mate - and the tickets were about £20 each. It made it, and when I got home I was very happy indeed to find that a previous owner had filled the l/h fuel tank to the brim before obviously discovering only the r/h fuel pump worked.Siphoned the l/h tank and sold the XJ for £80 that night. Happy days.

Recommended accessories:Various cheap brands of tyres, eg "Stunner", "Ceat" or "Power Racer" fitted on each wheel. All bought as a part worn, and 165/50.Questionable 'stereo', either broken original (needing 'code'), or cheap chinese monstrosity. At least 2 speakers should not be working.'Goldenbull'/'Supervolt'/'Megapower' or equivalent bargain basement 12v battery.Tesco £3 windscreen wipers (they wipe shite, and they rust within months, and leave streaks).Ice scraper/antifreeze spray in the boot. In summer.Some random non-car related item located anywhere in the car, ie shovel, co-axial aerial cable, empty ring binder, etcNon-working cigarette lighter (as realised using tomtom on the journey home from picking up).

[Milford Cubicle]

165/50. That's a bit sporty.

Id love the interior of the Mad Max car ( second film ) transplanted into an old jag or something , full of rubbish and an old smelly dog.

Hmm, that sounds like the inside of my van.

At least two? Come on man, cars like the Citroen GS and boggo Escort Mk3s only had one speaker in the dash anyway. Anything more than two is posh!Bonus shite points for rattling speaker grilles, a tear in the cardboard cone, distorted noises because of mismatch between amp and speaker ratings, messy radio wiring that shorts out every so often and blows a fuse.Mark.

I had a Mk4 Cortina shortly after passing my test that had a hairline crack in the sump meaning it lost about a litre of oil a day. I could live with that. Unfortunately, pulling the bonnet release meant that the release cable rubbed against the wiring loom somewhere under the dash which blew random fuses - sometimes they'd all be fine, sometimes they'd all blow, but normally the only one that would blow would be the one for the radio. That used to piss me off no end.

[strangehighways]

Others to add....- One or more original wheel trims missing (preferably all).- Halfords specials wheel trims fitted (even worse than not having any at all)Both of the above hopefully fixed to the wheels with cable ties.

[Justin Case]

True shite has a hole in the dashboard from when the previous owner decided that the stereo was worth more than the rest of the car. This of course makes the wire coathanger aerial somewhat redundant, but I think it should still stay for appearances sake.A Poundland electric fan also should be stuck on top of the dashboard, bonus points if any possible socket is not working/wrong size.

The usage of wood screws? My ol' Porsche had most of it's interior and carpet stuck back on with 3 inch, silver screws that freely unwound with vibration.
