Im new here

[Guest]

Dudes.

Im Paul.

40 yrs old divorced and from Norwich.

Current fleet are these . . .

 

1959 Ford Anglia 100E

 

1997 Rover 216 Convertible

 

1959 Mercury Monterey Sedan

 

1982 Trabant P601

 

Im a serious petrol head. I have owned 61 cars.

Have a love for all cars especially Eastern Bloc cars and the downtrodden unloved bread & butter stuff.

I like beer, swearing, pulling cars apart, fast food, women & skiving off work.

[trigger]

Sounds like you'll fit in well here then! your 100e looks very nice.

 

Welcome to AS.

[Guest]

Thanks I just got that Anglia.

Bought it from eBay about 4 weeks ago.

I just did the head gasket, replaced the carb and gave it a major service.

Poor thing has been siiting for over 20 years doing nothing.

Needs some surgery to the doors and a better coat of paint but it will do for now.

[carlo]

Sounds like you have very similar taste to me, especially with the Eastern bloc stuff, and that Mercury is fantastic! My current fetish is for late 50s american stuff.

[scooters]

Welcome aboard...

 

Great trabbi

 

Nice fleet and no 'finance director' breathing down your neckï½¥!

[Shep Shepherd]

Welcome!

 

Nice cars, especially the Merc and the Trabi

[barefoot]

I had a Trabbi, but mine was an '89 601S.

OK, but my ears started bleeding at speeds in excess of 80.

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

Welcome, Comrade! Marvellous fleet.

[Pete-M]

Ello Comrade! Wilkommen.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

They just kept getting better as I scrolled down!

 

Welcome.

[dollywobbler]

Excellent. Welcome! I especially like the Rover Convertible. May not be that fashionable a shade these days but I love it. As it's a late 216, is that Honda or K-seal?

[ProgRocker]

Hello Paul. I know you from t'other forum. Welcome to the Autoshite collective, Comrade.

 

Ford Anglia is really nice. Already know of the other 3 cars.

[barrett]

An excellent selection of slightly depressing cars here, well done! That Mercury really is spectacularly ugly isn't it?

 

I like how your sensible modern car is a Rover 200, that's proper dedication to the cause of shite. Actually, some lesbians I used to know had one of those (in a slightly less offensive colour, mind) and I always thought it was a particularly stylish means of transport which I very much enjoyed riding in; The follies of youth, eh?

[Cheggers]

"a particularly stylish means of transport which I very much enjoyed riding in"

 

The Rover or the rug munchers??

[wuvvum]

Welcome along. I'm pretty sure I've seen the Mercury about - nice motor. I like the 100E too - had one a few years back, nice thing to drive, if painfully slow.

[nigel bickle]

Welcome -nice fleet. I've a few eastern bloc -love Trabs. If you need help Uk registering it, pm me.

[eddyramrod]

Welcome Paul! That Mercury is Holy Grail stuff, well done!

[theorganist]

Welcome, very nice collection !

 

I do think staying single is conjucive to keeping a collection of old tatty cars. Or is that me just trying to justify still being single!!

[outlaw118]

If I may echo the sentiments above - The Mercury is horrible.

I love it.

 

Fatha Outlaw's first car was a 100E Anglia in Newark Grey - 1957? He bought it in 1960, painted the wheels with red lead, and stuck town and country tyres on it. PIMPED!!

[Cavcraft]

Welcome along old bean.

[Vinylseats]

1997 Rover 216 Convertible

 

It's another PLOP!

[RoadworkUK]

What-oh, chap. Welcome aboard. You have many more cars than me.

 

Your Rover is sensational.

[andrew e]

Evening

[Alexg]

Only on Autoshite could someone introduce themselves with this...

 

 

....but just generate a load of interest in their 90s Rover.

 

Welcome to the forum

[Father Ted]

Im Paul from Norwich.

1982 Trabant P601

Have a love for all cars especially Eastern Bloc cars

Welcome Paul

 

I do like these Trabs and have a hankering for one of the Polo engined ones as being stupidly quick

[boobydoo]

Welcome to the forum

 

Yes, I'm rather bemused by that aswell. Pop and Yank appeal tremendously...Rover doesn't.

 

Bienvenue a bord!

[mk1_4dr]

I can't believe that folks think the Mercury is ugly, it looks bloody gorgeous from where Im sitting. Also, I always quite liked that Rover purple, its a good hue.

 

Welcome aboard Comrade.

[dieselnutjob]

the downtrodden unloved bread & butter stuff

I'm the same except that my perversion is for French bread & butter.

 

welcome

 

there seem to be a few ASs in Norwich. Once I have my 604 running maybe I'll have to take it for a visit to my parent's house in Old Catton.

[Guest]

Thanks.

Im completely flumouxed as to the love for my Rover. Here Its just called gay. I suffer loads of abuse for it.

But i love it and this morning I took it in for MOT and it sailed through!!

The Mercury is bloody huge, and does around 15mpg!! Runs 312ci Y Block V-8 and Auto box.

Comfy but expensive.But then cool costs!!

As for the Trabant, it's already UK registered but I like it on it's original German plates. Uk plates in the boot.

Its my 7th Trabant!!

The 100E is a newbie to me. I just changed the gearbox mount this morning.

[R9UKE]

Loving the Rover! Welcome along
