Forgive me if anyone has posted about this already, but has anyone checked out autoshite.com? I think it's quite new.

http://www.autoshite.com/

What a great site, I've been on it all week. Love the retro 70s design and the joyful levels of old motoring tat. A feast of beautifully ugly old cars and motoring nostalgia. (I'm nothing to do with the site if you were wondering!).

If you like that, check out www.sniffpetrol.com put out by one of the producers of Top Gear, and the author of Crap Cars.

BRITISH DRIVERS NOW STUPIDEST IN WORLD

"Our findings show that there is no one in the world who is better at unbelievable stupidity, catatonic thoughtlessness and teeth grindingly selfish behaviour. Whilst other countries, such as Spain and India, may attempt drive erratically and have massive accidents for no explicable reason, there really is no contest when it comes to dithering, ineptitude and apparently having your brain removed before you get behind the wheel of a car".

two funny ones.

FAT SMUG TWAT SLAGS OFF STUFF ON INTERNET
The car industry was in crisis this week with news that everything they do is rubbish, at least according to the sneeringly critical opinions of a fat nerd who posts on an internet forum. Chris Titt, better known by the username SuperFlash2000, is a 32 year old IT consultant who drives a Lotus Elise and correctly believes that owning a moderately quick car and having a high disposable income makes him completely qualified to be critical of everything, knowing full well that he will never be asked to prove he could do better. "We've really been shown the error of our ways," confided one senior car company source. "I mean this bloke clearly knows his stuff. He's able to deliver incisive feedback and opinion on almost any car without even having driven it. You have to take that kind of knowledge seriously. We spend years developing our new models but we just can't compete with a greasy charisma vacuum who sits in front of a computer all day and then goes home to spend the evening in front of a computer because he rightly knows that the whole world must hear the relentlessly negative opinions of a man whose entire life experience is based on stripping down hard drives and dressing like a member of the Jesus and Mary Chain, but one that couldn't get laid even if they had a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes hanging off their nob".
Mr Titt himself was unavailable for comment because he was watching Top Gear, something he does every week despite repeatedly claiming to hate it.

Reminds me of the Corvette/GT vs. The World threads...

That book Crap Cars I did enjoy a lot but it had the VW Beetle at number 1 in it's all time top 50. Indeed a rubbish vehicle, but surely the Allegro would thrash it on every count? Allegro's do have a comedy aspect to them though which makes almost endearing.

The global all-time choice would really be the Trabant for all time rubbishness I suppose. But my personal vote would be for the Leyland Sherpa van they rebodied as an open top 2 seater and got called the "MGB". Hahahaha. W@nkerama
