How about you two guys post a picture each, James and Ant, and let us "independant judges" decide...

Shed is going better than ever before at the moment. The clutch is lurrvely (for a corsa :P ) seems a shame to be thinking of getting rid... ...oh no wait hang on a moment, i've got to get a cheese built engine on a crate on its way to me, to work in an alfa. Ah well, if it works the shed will have gone a little upmarket.

Any updates from anyone on the Shed front? Surely they can't all be running smoothly in the middle of winter! My own shed is doing well, will soon tick over 140k in the Mondeo. Might have to do the Oil and Filters soon though, not that sure of the history so a Cam belt might be wise too.

I'm in the market for a shed at the moment. Be looking to buy one in January, but I've been offered the use of a friends girlfriends' S reg Micra over the winter.

Although I'd get free use of the Micra, I think I'd be disappointed with the fact it's not my shed. Plus the fact it's not exactly a shed, being a '98 car.

I really really wanted a complete and utter shitter this year, as last year I had one and I even made money from it :blink: (even after tax, insurance, etc!)

Thoughts please?

Sounds like a good plan to me, you can't beat paying peanuts for a Shed, using it for a bit and then selling it on and not losing anything!!

What's your opinion of Proton's?

My exhaust is still fcuked :beat: Had the centre section replaced for the MoT but now the manifold has suddenly started blowing quite badly and has become quite noisy. Think that will have to be replaced pretty darn soon

On the plus side I've discovered why the windows keep steaming up in my rover shed, and I also have somewhere to keep koi carp in the car should I be so inclined. On the negative side I can't find the leak that's causing the pond in the footwell. Poo.
