Sold my white Giulietta in 2023 to @straightSix and since then it's been through a handful of owners on AS in a fairly short space of time. I believe it was with @flat4alfa last time I heard about it.

I bought the Alfa for Mrs Ruff for a short while, I replaced a few bits and she ran it for a short while but whilst it was a nice looking car, there were more little things that annoyed her about it than it's looks made up for.  We got an XC60 next that was dumped on WBAC for being (really) unreliable.

What happened to the AS loaner Y10?

It was @philibusmo, and then @For Fiats Sake?

That did the rounds a decade ago (how long?!) per:

I've still got the ZX estate that'd been through @ruffgeezer, @KruJoe, and @explosive-cabbage prior to me.  It might be going for bean cans soon, though.😥

Is that the one I owned briefly? I vaguely remember it coming from @ruffgeezer I've got a feeling it was delivered to me by someone who bought a Celica off me, or won it in a roffle (could have been @Crusty SillsAs I remember it was a handy tool, if a little careworn. 

[ruffgeezer]

I think so, I'm sure I roffled it off as it needed more than I had time for.

Was that the N reg one? I had a brief go in that, before it roffled off. Ended up with @Tickman IIRC. I bought my first 172 off him and we met half way for the swap over.

Sorry for forgetting you!

[Lord Sterling]

Well, seems mine is a forum "bike" it's had: @w00dy, @MrGTI6, @red5 as owners before me that I know of.

If any of you guys have any previous service history or spare key. Please let me know. Cheers!

[Rust Collector]

@purplebargeken bought this, and I got to enjoy the collection and getting it ready to go. The collection involved such excitement as non functional indicators and wipers in torrential rain, and the cabin fan trying to catch on fire as I frantically tried to demist the windscreen.

I recall it changed hands quite a few times, before getting fragged.

Good night, sweet prince.

Oh look there it is

Bit soggy at the moment

The Missus still likes it, the seats are red leather and the sunroof is brill.  When we had a summer.

She's averaging 60mpg on the 20 mile daily commute

Yes, I sold it, then it was roffled and I won it back and sold it again, think it’s in the hands of @Eddie Honda ‘s mate now.

I like how the first two photos are of cars that I’ve owned, and a 3rd mentioned soon after.

This brings me to another question, which forumite has owned the most forum bikes? I’m on 3 so far (L322, A8 & Saab 9-3).

Ha, hold my beer…

[NorthernMonkey]

Off the top of my head…

I’m fairly sure that Volvo estate mentioned earlier has been mine

Vel Satis (twice)

Red 9-3 convertible

Audi A8

E46 330i convertible 

Blue S124 with red (soon to be grey again) interior

VW Golf GTi that’s had at least two former AS owners

Red Mini convertible (same as the Golf)

Green L322 4.2 SC

Fairly sure there’s more, too…

[Keymaster]

I had a leggy clk 220 cdi that is on its 5th shiter having been through @Cavcraft @NorthernMonkey and @purplebargeken's hands before me, and now enjoying a new lease of life with @EyesWeldedShut

Not sure it can claim forum bike status yet, but it's on it's way -  the purple City Rover has been through 3 shiters in the last 5 months.. @Austin-Rover roffled it, it came to me for a few months and now is with @chodweaver

[SiC]

This bag of bolts (that travel roughly in all the same direction) has been through 3 other owners on here. Long it may continue!

This bag of shite has had at least 3 on here afaik. Maybe four? 

It's MOT is tomorrow. Just rolled over 180k the other day and tbh it looks like it's earned every one of those miles right now 😅 If it fails badly then it'll be curtains for it.

Oh aye, that Merc’s another one!

[Split_Pin]

Who currently owns the car with the most shiter owners?

The A8 has had 8:

I'm counting Jon.k even though he only facilitated it's sale from the original owner's father

Then it was:

Northernmonkey 

Paulplom

Kiltox

83C

Schaefft

Me

DirtyDaily

The red 9-3 has had 6 (via Moog's workmate)

Northernmonkey 

Sri05

Wack

Sri05

The E46 330ci has had 5

HMC

[w00dy]

No idea if this C70 is still about, but it's definitely had a few owners on here.

This one?

I think this BX has had a few members too

 

 

[catsinthewelder]

Thats 8 of us L-R @JohnK ,@Inspector Morose, me, @RobT, @dollywobbler, @strangeangel, @Six-cylinder, @skattrd.

I think it was also owned by @Jim Bell and @yes oui sii, anyone else?

 

@Dick Cheeseburger, the Bollox Rover is still here but is probably beyond saving now.  If anyone's feeling really brave get in contact quick.

 Other forum Bikes I've owned.

Purple Austin 1100, 

Black Nissan Cherry Spirit 

Grey Peugeot 405 Executive estate (still here).

 

 

[RobT]

Here's the BX on collection day, Saturday 24th September 2011 to be precise.

An eBay win for £397 the previous evening, then I collected it from Hatch End and drove it to Eastbourne for a trip to the coast.  Those were the days.

That's Beachy Head!

[RobT]

It is indeed!

[Stinkwheel]

And I got it to a shiter-friendly garage to get it running and MOT'd after if it had sat with a broken tensioner for months  - I was meant to call the scrapyard!

[Split_Pin]

You definitely count as an owner then!

@b0110x @mastervan @Six-cylinder @phil_lihp @RobT @HMC  @catsinthewelder @RetroShite

possibly others

@nisfan had it for a while, I borrowed it for a few weeks when my Civic's brakes disintegrated on removal and couldn’t be reassembled...

Some idiot (like me, but not me) needs to shove that engine in a less fucked shell, it went like fuck...

[Volksy]

@HillmanImp also had a stint with the Bollover 220

Yeah, I think I got it from @JohnK and roffled it to @eddyramrod although he never took custody off it and sold it to @omegod who collected it from me. 

I think we should get this car dragged to a Shitefest location or something where we can spend the weekend resurrecting it whilst drinking cider. I'd happily chip in on costs etc and can bring my sparkly stick. 

[JMotor]

Five folk on here have had this.

@richbraith, @cpjitservices, @GMcD ,Me and @RetroShite

Last time I checked it was still on the road. Well it saw another test!

[320touring]

This A2 came to me via @Jim Bell, went to @meshking, then @bramz7 before currently landing at @Sir Chocolate Teapot I think...

Dunno if it has even been in the group for a year?

 

Was fun with the boost turned up
