Autoshite Top Trumps - Nominate Your Car!

[catsinthewelder]

Is that one of those 'NISSAN 50th anniversary' badges on the grille of the Cherry?

 

Yep,  Ultra-Womble has a lifetimes supply and added it when he owned the car.

 

 

Thanks for the cards Carlo,  this is the best thread for ages

[catsinthewelder]

Can I make them up?

Put the engine sizes up and one of us will be bored/anorak enough to find the other details.

Here's a wildcard entry that no one wants

 

Y745UVV.jpg

Vauxhall Corsa 1.0

Year Introduced: 2000

Max speed: 96mph

Max Power: 57bhp

cc: 973cc

Autoshite Rating: AVAS

 

would, but i love these.

[Eddie Honda]

so if the the AS TT cards are not copyrighted

There was a website some years back call Superlager.com that did these sorts of cards on site for various super brews. Winning Moves UK Ltd, the owner of the TT brand complained and they were renamed Superlager "Super Swaps".

 

So to avoid stepping on any toes, I'd probably

 

a) give the brand name a miss

b ) avoid using copyrighted pictures without permission

[catsinthewelder]

It could be bottom trumps.

[carlo]

Sirs  und  Madams,

 

I may* have access to several large colour printer/copiers tomorrow so if the the AS TT cards are not copyrighted I'll chuck some A4 card in and run off a few sheets of probably 8 cards to a sheet and 5 sheets to a set (ie 40 cards) and see how they come out. If Mr. AS TT Editor would like to proof read them then PM me an address I'll chuck a set or two in our "post out"  tray  make suitable arrangements.

 

All the cards with an Autoshite rating at the bottom use members' own photos so no copyright issues there assuming members are happy with them being reproduced.  Some of the earlier ones I posted did use photos from the web so probably best to miss them out.  Not sure about the AS logo.  As any reproduction/card pack production would be for our purposes only I can't see any problems?  

[andy18s]

No issues from me about copyright.

In fact I'd be happy to pay a fee to have my 3 pics printed out in a good TT style.......

Someone sneak a GSA engine in that GS?

[quicksilver]

So no one wants to make a card for my Corsa? I R DISAPPOINT.

[Six-cylinder]

Someone sneak a GSA engine in that GS?

Yes and a 5 speed gearbox, GSA doors as well. It was done before 2007 when I owned the car for the 1st time.

 

P.S V5C has been changed to 1299cc.

[Eddie Honda]

Do you often own cars for the second time then?

[carlo]

Go on then we need a '3'

 

[MarvinsMom]

these are magnificent, I SOOOO have to get a set, if the cards do get produced,

 

and yes, I too think its one of, if not the bestest current thread on here!

[Six-cylinder]

Do you often own cars for the second time then?

The GS is the only one I can think of, usually I am not that good at selling them, which is why we have so many!

 

See Six Cylinder Motoring notes not to pollute this thread.

[fordperv]

I think I said in a previous post, a good name would be plop trumps

 

Edit* I've just looked and the name is already taken

Deer Mr Editor,   

 

Here's the first attempt on 220 weight card I've yet to guillotine them, PM an address,  you  can  proof read them to see if they meet the exacting standards demanded of Autoshite Bottom Trumps^TM

and maybe suggest which to add/exclude/include/set on fire.

 

 

PS. If anyone wants a copy on normal 80 weight A4, normal photocopy paper,  to take the piss out PM an address.  I'll do some more on card when there's a consensus or too much violence.

[brownnova]

Not too late to add some MX5 action I hope!

Shite rating ????

[For Fiats Sake]

^^ Looks surprised ^^

[406V6]

The cards look great. Superb work. Any chance of putting up a template with the right fonts etc so we can just paste in our own car details.

[Magnificent Rustbucket]

 

 

Its on page 3 - this is the template I used when engineering my privateer entry!

 

Making these up is a great idea - are only the ones you've made up included, or are the cards made up by individual posters of their own cars like mine included too?

 

 

Autoshite rating assessed using the Pillock method - based on HML's figure of all XJ40s on SORN and licensed of 1500-odd . There are only 810 Sovereigns of all engine sizes, so just counting Sovereigns, the ASR would be 12.

 

Less than 10,000 - 5 points

More than 2 shiteists - 2 points.

No veg - 0 points

[DVee8]

Loving this thread keep it going.

 

They look great in print.

[castros_bro]

I found 54 images which looked like Autoshite cards so used those as a test print, these are now consigned with Royal Mail post to Carlo as someone who can decide if the quality and content of the cards meets the standard demanded of Auoshite contributors.  Thus I absolve myself from the unseeingly squabble which may occur. When Carlo has done selecting or given up then I'll do a print run, printing and delivery should be kostenlos.  If the Autoshite Art Department want a few of their finest included as images on cards that should be ok. as  pic is printed 5  cm by 3 cm so unlikely to be stolen and enlarged.  A "water mark" may be possible on the printed images.

[carlo]

All good stuff.  In the meantime keep your suggestions coming, I can still post up new ones, sure they could be added to a future print run if we ever get that far.

 

Haven't done Mr FOAD's yet as he hasn't put details up and I'm not even sure which models they are.

[carlo]

Here's a couple I missed, plus Louise's fine Astra which I stuck on her thread.

 

 

 

[trigger]

Fancy doing my Cortina?. Its a 2000 XL model.
