It won't - it's been discussed before so we don't need to do it again

Just don't take the shed bit quite so literally and accept that every so often the car chosen isn't in line with your shed perception

It's SOTW every week not SOSOTW when it's not a luxo barge

SOSOTW = Sort Of Shed Of The Week

...this is a very good point, one man's meat and all that and it does open up the discussion beyond mercs, bm's and Jags...

...its and interesting feature this as surely soon all possibilites will be exhausted, there are only so many cars to discuss that fall into this bracket and i cannot imagine that their numbers are increasing by the 1 a week which will keep this all going....when an ford orion is up for discussion the tipping point might have been reached...(it hasn't, has it?)

As long as there are cars that can be found for under a grand I see no reason that SOTW can't continue......

Ford Orion - are there any left??

I've just sold a 2001 Polo GTi for £1500 not quite inside the target price to be in SOSOTW.

Good stuff Riggers, looking forward to seeing it. We had a couple around the place as company cars a few years ago, and they were good fun.

However I apologise in advance for any offence caused by the fact that it will henceforth be known at PH Towers by one name, and one name only; The Fiesta.

A small shed can be a good shed too

We bought one of these new for my wifes' mum 12 or so years ago I think?
In that time its done about 63k, has needed 1 exhaust, 2 batteries and about £200 to tidy some rust. It has never let her down.
Thats great but not what makes it a great PH shed, what does that is that it is a blinding drive. Every time we go to see them I find an excuse to get a paper on a sunday morning and drive round the lanes laughing my head off ! A lovely lovely thing that looks very cute and stylish for its age (Just like the mother in law).

Beware the alloy gear Knob taking the skin off your hand on a cold morning

Actually that one technically was a barge as you spotted

[Escort Si-130]

I cant remember shed rules saying it had to be RWD or less than 2 litre. How could it be less cylinders than wheels, I thought it was a 4 cylinder????

Fwd - check
Sub 2 litres - check
Spanish 'box - check

As standard, South Africa only model but there's a couple over here.

Easy to stick a V8 in a Sierra though

[eddie99]

I use to have a puma, now a 1999 audi s3..... And i actually miss the puma, yes the s3 is a serious amount quicker. I never got bored of driving the puma, and im yet to find a car with such a great gearshift!

Clicky SOTW Sierra V8

PS did you have to quote the whole list

[Martin 480 Turbo]

Perhaps I missed something about the Puma when I testdrove one
15 years ago.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3QuH7z1Z1o&fea...

I should borrow one from a used car pusher for a day.

Perhaps I missed something about the Puma when I testdrove one
15 years ago.

I should borrow one from a used car pusher for a day.

Pumas are so cheap now there's scope for having a luxo barge for those moments when you need to waft in opulence and a Puma to stick in the garage for fun jaunts/cheap commuting, etc.

Exactly what I've done, although we've had the Puma from almost new and will be holding onto it...had to be recommisioned last year after two years of being sat up and then the ECU got fried (first ever issue in 8 years but a surprisingly easy and cheap DIY fix). Since all that it's back to it's best - great fun and reliable (touch wood @102k).

Only used for the odd commute now, although has been pressed into holidays when other stuff was out of action, and even collected a bed from Ikea! I keep looking at 2002/2003 Jag Xj's and Range Rovers, but not sure I can justify buying another motor that would be largely unused...

Was that aimed at me? I don't think it rude if it was but the info is easily obtainable/recovered

PS perhaps one should brush up on quote techniques

Well, technically it was a speedboat. This is a barge. Quite different.



PH: boat pedantry matters
