Tommyboy's new shed I'm not sure it counts as a shed as it's uber-cool!

That's no shed! That's an Out-house! Seriously, great motor.

Thought I'd taken out the drivers mirror on the shed last night - was on my way home through quite a narrow village and a car coming the other way came too close on my drivers side and we contacted mirrors pretty hard at about 30mph. My mirror was folded in, with the glass hanging on by the wires that heat it. But it's a tough old beast - when I got back and had a look, I folded the mirror back out, the mirror glass wasn't broken at all and I think with a bit of fiddling I can re-attach it and have it working again

What's your opinion of Proton's?

They are possibly the shittest of the shittest! I would love one!

That was funny!!!

You are right though, they are! But if you want one, I'm about to put mine up for sale. Cheap as chips!

Where are you based?

I am in Milton Keynes, but the car is at my parents house in St.Neots (Cambridgeshire) at the moment. I am in the process of getting a new battery for her which is all she needs. MOT till September, taxed to end of Feb, and only 19,000 miles from new (genuine too!). make for a really cheap as chips shed if you are interested?

Woo to the resilience of Rover/Honda parts!! Managed to get the mirror back together (despite it being fooking freezing so my fingers would work properly) today and it works just fine - no broken glass and all the electric adjustment and heater works

That's more than my budget for the purchase of a shed!

[Victor Xray]

Is it time we set some ground rules for what Shedding should cost? What do you reckon, no more than £1,000 purchase price but the lower the better? No more than £? a year spent on it?

where up north, I've got a mate here in leeds who buy's cheap cars from ebay (normally Fiestas), gets them through the mot then sells them for a few hundred quid.

Yeah I agree. Anything over £1k (annual cost incl actual car, tax, insurance, upkeep etc) should not be considered as a 'shed'.

I'm getting mine in January. Can't wait to see what sh1t I buy!

I drove an Opel Kadett -88 the first winter (04) without a VX after that winter it was scrapped as it was a total wreck So the winter -05 I didn't have any shed so had to manage without a car which was no problem as I could work from home by then This winter I borrow my dads old Audi A6 as he recently bought a very very nice and comfy Audi A4 -04

[cthomas443]

My winter sheds a astra gte 16v £700. insurer wanted £590. for a year as im using my 6yrs ncb on my vx, insured through HIC for 3 months for £174.
