The above T-shirt has been made available on Retro rides with the following slogans

 

For every.. rot box, bought blind off the net

For every.. pannel welded, that you could have sworn was solid

For every.. inch lowered, in search of perfect stance

For every.. engine swapped, to burn up the lights

For every.. winters night, spent grazing numb knuckles

For every.. first drive, with a smile on your face

For every.. day polishing, because its your pride and joy.

 

Although a few of these could easily work on an Autoshite T-shirt of similar design, a few fun ideas will brighten up my day at work. Here is some of mine

 

For every.. Family holiday ruined, by photographing Turkish built Fiats

For every.. Show & Shine MGB ignored, to get to that beige Maestro

For every.. BL car, on your Ebay watch list

For every.. Wartburg headlamp, just incase you ever own one

For every.. Drunken planned road trip to France, to collect a Renault 14 on Leboncoin

For every.. Litre of oil purchased at Asda, just to save £3

For every.. Hyundai Stellar in the works car park, just to annoy your X6 driving boss

For every.. 'That'll do' bodge up

I didnt think it was too wanky, could have been a lot wankier I reckon. I wouldnt wear it, but then if you like cars, wearing 'car clothing' is difficult territory to avoid looking like a cock.

 

A good AS T-shirt would just have a picture of an SU carb or Waxoyl applicator, A-frame or some such, no words or anything.

For every....time the points and carb need adjusting even though they worked fine the day before

For every....frantic attempt to get the car restarted in the middle of a junction

For every....AA callout

For every....occasion you think "well, seemed like a good idea at the time"

For every....opportunity to laugh at people who buy brand new cars to save fuel

 

 

 

For every....time you want to express your opinion but aren't allowed to (one for RR there)

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools

 

it's either that, or

 

My friend went to Autoshite and all I got was this lousy T-shirt

For every....Time you sanded that filler

For every....Time Your temprature guage read higher than the fuel guage

For every....Time you had to explain why you were not joining in with the scrappage scheme.

For every....Time you had to explain Autoshite to the wife

For every....Drool at a Talbot

For every....Rounded nut and bolt

For every....Car in the scrapyard better than yours

For every....Inch of welding rod

For every....Rover k-series head gasket

For every....Talbot tappet

For every....Mad auction moment

I was once weating an Imp Club t-shirt and someone came up to me and said 'I like your T-shirt, its really cool'. They changed their mind when I explained I actually owned an Imp and they just looked at me wierdly and walked away.

 

In all fairness, it could have just been for owning an Imp.

This is the trick with car clothing I reckon, if you had no interest in cars, then wearing an Imp Owners Club T-shirt would be extremely cool. However if you love imps then wearing one marks you out as a bit of a sad case IMO. But how does anyone else tell the difference anyway? This is the eternal quandary of car apparel.

For every.... WILL U TAKE £50 M8 COLLECTION 2NITE

:lol:

 

Some of those AS t-shirts comments are hilarious!

 

How about going to Oxfam and getting every single item of torso clothing in there and just printing it on them.

For example, a 70's tweed blazer, an old beige bri-nylon shirt, even tshirts with old prints on could be covered up.

 

Those RR quote t-shirts are cringeworthy-tastic. "For every ... Buying all my clothes in All Saints".

My wife went out the other day and bought me some car t-shits, all Haynes style ones, One with a Sierra, One with the Mk 4-5 Cortina and one for the Mk 1 Capri, I felt like i had to wear them but i do feel a bit silly though.

You can always dispose of the Capri one... :D Someone round here must have a Mk1 Capri....

Like bo11ox suggested earlier, the more minimalist these t-shirts are, the better.

You look a bit daft walking around with a Haynes manual cover on your shirt, but a cut-away diagram would be alright.

Very popular with veedubbers and OSForders, whenever I see a customer wearing one at work it is invariably "VW Type 2" or "Ford Escort RS2000" or some other shit.

 

Personally, I think they look like cocks, although at least the ones Mrs Trig bought are quite Autoshite. Do they do a Maestro one? ;)

Arse. Here I am sitting in my '2CV haynes manual cover' T-Shirt as well. Mind you, it is under a jumper...(over-active air-con in the office!)

I have a few car Tshirts, a Cut-a-way A series Metro (not haynes), Metro GTI Challenge, Trabant, Hesketh Racing, 'Holdern Racing Team' x2 (gift from oz) Porsche 917 etc etc. Problem is, unless I'm working on my car or sat at home I feel like a bit of a berk wearing them. I also have a wicked retro 1970s Dunlop racing jacket in Yellow, it looks the tits and I paid a fair price for it on USebay - never worn it :roll:

I have a bunch of car shirts, including Capri and A40, and wear them all the time. I also have three coats with various truck insignia on them (ERF, Foden, Mack) but when do I get to wear a coat here? Actually I'm being unfair there, there are about three months of the year when a coat is useful... I also have sweatshirts from Cadillac Owners Club and American Auto Club North West. Again, they get little wear here! :D
