I was planning on getting my old grans Panda Fire. She's had it since new and its a shed and no mistake.
Went up at Christmas to be all subtle about it (she doesn't like the fact she's too old to enjoy dirving) and found out she'd given it away to her local mechanic.
Talk about gutted

the diesel smart has lost out to the fact that a diesel 106 will pay for itself in 5 months especially if i *cough* run it on chip fat *cough*. my lodger (ex farmer) has his own recipe for running cars on sunflower oil.
i will of course be declaring it to customs/ the inland revenue 
peugeots last forever as well 
will post the shed as soon as it's purchased

From the photos it is looking a bit clean for a shed although you get bonus points for the Halfords wheel trims.
Try making it look a little less loved. Maybe try pulling off a section of rubbing strip.
What make are the tyres? You lose points if you've ever heard of them before.

it's spotless inside as well. i have failed
possible bonus points i suppose for it's MoT situation. it's getting done on tuesday, bit of blue smoke, going to invest in some of this over the weekend:
then i'll drop the sump and change the piston rings before the next one and whip the head off and change the valve stems if that doesn't work
other than that it's a peach, especially for £180

You are going to run it until it dies and then abandon it. Any money spent on a shed is wasted.
Always carry a police aware sticker as breakdown insurance.

we need to keep this thread running. talking about sh1tboxes is far more fun than discussing sensible cars.
i'm even getting bored of slating the bloated barges that are filling our roads nowadays

Mine is on a mix of Dunlop 'Sports' ( ), Roadstone (?) and Viking (?). The mismatches are on the driven wheels, obviously

only just found this thread, but has certainly made me want to buy a shed for pure comical value....
having said that a friend of mine has just got a red (pink) cinqicento (sp?), with some beautiful go faster stripes etc... might see if he wants to sell
