I love it - must be a bit of a pain to insure though?

Registered as a Micra GX apparently!

Fabulous shed.

Best one in ages. Well done!

I'm in the wrong place

Funniest thing about these cars is the boot, it's still Micra sized and just 'hangs over' the edge with a max weight of 35kg on the extended bit!

So if you went to the airport with two average sized suitcases in the boot, the back end might snap off!
Or a decent sized trip to Waitrose might end up in you discharging a cheese platter and a few bottles of rioja across the dual carriageway.

Ok, so here's a question.
You lose a bet with a friend and have to turn up to a PH sunday service in one of these.
Which do you go for, the Gwiz, or the Mitsuoka Veiwt?
You are NOT allowed to say it's for a bet and must pretend you own the car in question.

I love this.

A guy I used to work with imported one, it was brilliant. Kids were pointing (and probably laughing!) at it, it was slow and wallowy and not actually very big inside at all, but there was something about it I loved.

Mental japs.

So, is the "Mitsuoka Viewt" an actual thing that would be registered as such with DVLA if it was a "proper" imported one, and this bloke has just spliced those bits onto a standard Micra?

No thanks.

Quick PH classifieds search and I'll have this -

Shed manages to reach a new low.

Genuine questions to the person that does these: Do you have ANY interest in cars, any idea of the target audience on here?.....does your boss just shout across "Right you find a used car for under a grand, and slap it on as SOTW" ?


I'm all ears

[Motorrad]

I had no idea that car even existed. Therefore a shed win even though I wouldn't want to own it, drive it or be seen in it.

It has been sliced judging by the pictures on the advert. I think it should appear as a Viewt on the DVLA though.

I saw a car in holland on wednesday night that I had no idea what it was, turns out it was a Mitsuoka Le Seyde! Check out the wedsite it is wierd!

Good grief.

There's something about that photo which I find absolutely brilliant!

[anonymous-user]

I don't know - to be honest I didn't realise it was a Micra underneath until much, much later.

This one doesn't though, it's registered as a Micra.

Fair play to Shed for taking a brave pill and posting this up.

Not for me but it's brought a smile to my face on a wet miserable Friday morning in the office and it would make me smile if I saw it on the road.

Spot on!

[cianha]

I thought these all dissolved ages ago. And this is a manual too? Even rarer. I'd have it on chopped springs and banded steelies, with yellow fogs and a window rolled down so I can shout "Scrubbers!!" as I pass.

Top Shedding, everyone needs a bit of a laugh ona wet Friday morning!
I think some of you are really missing the point.

Oooh, tough one. The Gwiz has the advantage that it probably doesn't have the range to arrive at the meet; but the Veiwt would have the range to get away again afterwards...

Decisions, decisions. The Viewt, but based on the Micra R.

I actually quite like the Himiko

Ah, I meant 'official' viewts. This one is a cut and shut and was a Micra Gx

[W124]

You utter genius! My favourite SOTW so far.

'Again, age, the boy remain" - that is quite wonderful... Ah - the joys of sailing on seas both temperate and otherwise!

[Fartgalen]

If I was in the market for a shed, I wouldn't be looking at Micras. I definitely would not be looking at this.
