Story of my life, I miss all the excitement.Missed it at work, though had to pass the sky news and ITN news vans on the way out, then missed everything on here.Hrumph.

[andrew e]

Ted we could have a fight if it would help :lol:Lets us know, behind the autoshite bike sheds 4pm. Start without me If I'm late

[mattblack]

...that benefits from Supercover..

The 80's Leyland warranty????

[Milford Cubicle]

A troll came, drew some silly pictures and chanted some tired catchphrases. It was ghastly.

I've just joined today, but i've been a long time member of other forums (and reader of this good site for some time) but i have to say i'm shocked at the resentment towards MacD displayed by some members of here and their baseless claims and comments, Austin is a stand up fellow (once you fight fire with fire) as for Sward, a noble man. As for the Keith/Kyle debacle, 2 years is a long time waiting to hear about your car and the pictures of the state its in now due to being left to the elements without its wind screen are shocking to say the least. I've been a long time follower of that story and Kyles story doesn't add up, you deleting everything today has just allowed him to run again and probably further delay the returning of the mans SAAB (or should it be SAAD diven the state its in)

It's between two people. Someone please close this thread, it's just going on now.

Maybe. But coming on here and winding people up isn't really the way forward is it? Most people on here are fairly easy going and don't want to 'fight', just to see old tat. This is a fairly easy going forum and not really the place to come and wind people up.

You like your forum Mr Ward, we like ours. C YA

Can't say fairer than that. And not slagging McD off, It not my cup of tea particularly but its horses for courses ain't it?

I think it's a shame that this had to be aired in public, in fact I remember saying so at the time.At the end of the day I'm a bit of a newbie on here myself so I shall do the decent thing and shut the fuck up and not offer an opinion about a subject that doesn't involve me.I am but a humble pawn in the chessboard of Autoshite!.In the words of Ronnie Corbett..."I know my place"

I meant in a funny way, he is fairly easy going once he settles

Point taken

Its a reasonable discussion why close it? IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU SOME DAY

Keith spent the best part of 2 years trying to sort it in private, only going public now shows the man to be very patient

Totally argee, mods please lock this thread, I don't want to see this crap on the only forum I really use.

Yes, and the resolution of this via Autoshite has removed a great deal of schadenfreude on your part. This you resent and your silly little mates have decided to dump on the rest of us. It's always a sad day when a favourite e-pastime is taken from you.How about you stay over on MacD (sorry, never heard of it) and we'll stay here. Is that OK? I hope so. I don't really understand what AS has to do with the spat between Keith and Kyle. I know Keith was desperately trying to get things sorted out and saw this as his last chance. I'm pleased headway has been made, although there's still some way to go before \ if his Aero gets back on the road.PS: I wouldn't visit the forum bearing your namesake, they're nasty as well, they have opinions and use nasty words and that. Can this PLEASE be buried now? Please?

[brammy777]

Right, it was fine when it was just two people discussing it, but as soon as other people get involved it just gets ridiculous, yes its a shame what happened but if you dont know all the facts and what not, as soon as you let loose with your opinion about it, you inevitablly look like a fool. Keith went the right way about it, no one else need join their business.Dont try to gauge members of this forum for a reaction. Theres something with 4 wheels, beige paint and velour seats that deserves our attention more than this sorry episode.

Better put than I could manage.Things are being sorted out [slowly] - why do MacD have to go around trying to get a rise out of people? Let it go lads. Let it go.

[dollywobbler]

Bring on the beige! Random Flickrs.

 

I make no apologies for this one. It's a 912, so a shite 911, and it is actually beige.

[M'coli]

Back to old tat, more recent events: WTF was I doing buying a reground Imp camshaft with no knowledge of the lift or duration, nor of what to do with it??? Check the lack of basecircle:

It's also my first ever drunken eBay buy, I knew that I'd stuck it on my watch list - I looked at it today and thought "Someone's bid on it!!! Wow" Then realisation crept in: "Ah, yes, it's me..."

[seth]

Difficult to see in the photo but is that serious pitting on that lobe?

[Guest]

All I can say is good riddance to Austin Towers. Pictures of cartoon sharks? Reminds me of the kind of toss you'd see on B3ta circa 2003, what a tit.Perhaps it's a good idea to make it a struggle for people to get in.

[pogweasel]

perhaps some kind of entrance exam?

Q1. Describe in 100 words your feelings towards the Talbot TagoraQ2. Beige is the best colour for any car. Discuss with reference to the "eBay Tat" threadQ3. For an exotic holiday suitable for recent lottery winners, the Autoshiters preference would be - a Barbados, b. Atlantic Cruise c. Tour of European scrapyards d. The Moon.

Probably, knowing my luck...

[barryboy]

In my defence i never said anything wrong, i merely said what i thought, it was one of your own that pumped the MacD hatred well, I just defended it.I actually think this is a very good site in its own right and every time i look around i can see some genuinely good work and banter going on here. I think thats the end of what i have to say on the topic

[whitevanman]

Personally I'm starting to think we need to limit the amount of migrants onto the site this sudden influx has given us a very limited reward

[trigger]

I blame Fred!

I blame Fred!

She is clearly to blame, with her 'helpful' forum!

 

The term originates from beige cloth, a cotton fabric left in its natural color. It has since come to be used for a range of light tints chosen for their neutral or cool appearance.

This isn't beige - it's 'Desert Sand':

 

 

To say something is beige means being boring or dull.

Never!!

[Cavcraft]

What's all this MacDroitwich sh1te about then?
