the new shite runabout

lancer only done 37k!! old chap owned serviced at mitsu dealer for first 10 years!!!

[ProgRocker]

Here's my current motor - had it for a month now.

[Claypole]

I'm just about down to single car ownership...

 

My daily shite 1.9 TDI Polo, not doing 100 miles a day anymore so sold awaiting collection:

 

 

(the pictures to sell it are the first ones I've ever taken of it... I don't hate it or anything but it was just a means to an end as it were).

 

Technically I own this except it's in Ireland and rotted beyond hope (had a second MK1 from same seller but sold that on without ever touching it)

 

 

So I will be left with this as my only motor vehicle:

 

[worldofceri]

Greetings. Thought it's about time I posted a few pictures since I've been registered a while now and lurking for ages before that. Apologies for the low quality of my shite!

 

First up the Beetle (with apologies to the haters!). In my defence it's the archaic 1200cc model and unmodified apart from a crap aftermarket steering wheel and a gear knob that is notionally attached to the gear lever with blu-tac.

 

 

This was taken a few years back when it looked vaguely presentable. Recently it's resided in my Mum's garage after I spunked some money on getting a new floor welded in but haven't been arsed to put it back together.

 

Secondly the R5. My old man bought this brand new. Price: £5555.

 

 

Check out my colour-coding skillz on the mirrorz! Extra shite points please for the low spec; I believe there was only one item on the options list:

 

Sales assistant: Would you like a rear wash/wipe - it's an optional extra?

WorldofCeri_snr: How much is it?

Sales assistant: £150.

WorldofCeri_snr: Err.. no thanks.

 

Parked it up on my Mum's drive (much to her ongoing dismay) when it started making a horrendous rattle; broken valve perhaps? Dunno, haven't investigated yet. That was 3 years ago but you know how it is - can't bear to part etc.

 

The current jalopy: The Weekend!

 

 

Apparently designed to go-wrong repeatedly until the owner spontaneously-combusts. Hilariously, the heater doesn't work.

 

Or, more accurately, the heater is jammed on and the fan doesn't work. Consequently you either have to have all the windows wound down (summer) or constantly wipe condensation from the windscreen (winter).

 

That's all for now!

My C5, Daughter #3's Saab, Daughter #2's Alfa.

Both son's are away (Golf GTi and Pug 306.

[oldford]

Old Ford shite. I've been using this for the last 18 months, had one breakdown which cost £15 to sort out.

 

 

 

 

It was fun in these conditions.

 

 

Shite floormats, add a bit of colour to the interior.

 

 

Up to date, cutting edge, state of the art stereo (20 years ago).

[trigger]

It's been a little while since this thread started so i thought it be nice to update it, Any new members fancy adding to it?.

[Cavcraft]

Why not:

 

Lad's and mine Astra...

 

Vespa (now heavily scene taxed but no recent pictures)...

 

Merc, ancient picture but it's still here...

 

Part scene taxed, part swimming pool interior, Urine Bowler...

 

Love you long time Johnny. 49cc of sore finger on your flea and cheep power...

[TagoraSX]

Here's my 1982 Audi 100.

 

[Volksy]

Oooh! That 100 is lovely!

[VWPowered]

lovely audi that, still got my polo, but it is up for sale

[Pete-M]

That 100 is indeed lovely. I'd like one of those, in that colour.

 

I've been surfing foreign ads looking for a 200 Turbo in that colour. but they all appear to be mentally expensive.

[trigger]

Your Audi is lovely , How come your selling the Polo John, Thought you had only just got it repainted?.

i have yes, but you know with 2 kids its hard to go anywhere when the misses in out in the passat lugger, so looking for a bigger car, 604, 505, 504, 404, 403, Tagora, Simca 1308, Aronde could all be a possibility at this moment

[Mr Lobster]

Recap of my heaps

 

Big, thirsty if pushed but generally reliable. Do wonder if I need such a big van though?

 

Needs using more really.

 

Getting used a lot. GR8 but thirsty if you like going fast. Which I do

[VWPowered]

lovely R4 F6 that lobsta

Thanks for the comments everyone

 

Of all the cars I've owned this is my favorite, and I can safely say it will never be sold.

Big ,comfy, plenty fast enough and pretty economical and the 5 pot sounds great. Not to mention uber reliable, in the 8 months I've owned it I haven't had to open my toolbox!

 

I'm looking for a rhd 200 5T, anything considered!

[cms206]

Right... err... lets get this out the way. In age order... *drumroll*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

****** 1991 Fiat 126 Bis... rotten, in a dark garage, so no photos! ******

 

 

... and the soon to be replaced daily driver...

[Guest]

Jesus cms, that's some impressive tat you have there. Large item storage not a problem then?

 

Next AS meet at yours.....

[cms206]

Aye, mate, actually been cutting back... at one point I was sitting on no less than nine buses, plus all the other assorted tat...

And I thought 3 shitters and a modern was excessive. Heroic skills sir.

[catsinthewelder]

I'm new, so previously unseen tat

This is our new daily , he's a bit rough, but was free and will be improved. The stripes are staying.

 

 

I know these arn't over popular here

I dragged her out of the field she had been sitting in for several years, 3 years ago. We jump started her, checked the brakes and drove her to a mot which she failed on 26 items. Two years or so of welding later she finally passed and took us camping last year. This year shes been crap, but once her new carbs are set up she should be back on form.

 

Theres no moderns, Our bicycles are all late 70s early 80s and the broken Yamaha 125 in the back gardens on a M reg

[Angrydicky]

At least the VW isn't "scene". Welcome to AS!

[trigger]

Welcome to the site Catz, i don't think anyone one dislikes VW's on here, It's just all the 'scened' up ones that people dislike, yours looks nice and normal so it meets my approval!

[VWPowered]

i dont dislike vw's ive owned over 100

[Gompo]

Heres one of my old Escorts, pic from 2002 I reckon:

 

[Lord Sterling]

Howdy! Obviously stripey white BX estates are all the rage at the moment. One at Classics on the Common, yours and my green thing!

 

 

What motor have you got in yours?
