The Joy of Running an Old Shed

[ensignia]

That Audi looks great, I'd have been all over it if I had seen it; love that era of Audi's.

Had to do a double take at the instrument cluster though, those clocks really look quite modern for a car designed in the early 90s!

Posted in the barge thread already but the dash looks pretty good as well in my opinion.

Just catching up on the thread.
Love the Audi, very nice shed for the money.
Having just finished renovating my house, I appreciated the Scenic skip a lot too.
Been using my Micra as a mobile skip / delivery van in recent weeks.
Makes me glad to have a shed and not care at all.

Eh?

That's akin to saying that Bezos bloke's done alright, I suppose

I'm starting to really get on with the scenic shed, its booked in for a full valet next friday (by when skip duties should be complete).

Tomble - thats a massive win! I love it! it looks like a really tidy example.

This shed stuff is exciting, i'm already looking for a sheddy convertible for summer

I've got 4 cars now, so something needs to give

I have just got a C70 Convertible for £750. on LPG so although It's the bottom engine and slow as hell, its cheap to run - managing 10p a mile in fuel which is the same as the wife's Picanto. For the way I drive that's no bother whatsoever. My days of hooning are over so I waft about in skuttleshaking luxury.

Arktastic, mate

Still lots to like at that price mind...

My other half is on her third, although only a 2003 this time, She will not drive anything else.

They are great all rounders, so versatile and so much space with the seats out. We have made more trips to the tips over the years, full of all sorts of rubbish, than I care to remember and all of ours have been very reliable.

Leave it anywhere and it will still be there when you get back.

I love it, dents, scratches and all.

Any suggestions on what to replace my 9-3 aero estate with? Will have owned it for 2 years come October which is my record for any car so far.

It does the job fine but £560odd in VED is starting to grate. Requirements are similar size and ‘toys’ i.e. HID lights and heated seats

I was pleasantly surprised by that dash too.

Lots of dials but fit in nicely and like the double air vents.

Don't know much about Audi but I'm wondering if that's the perfect age where the accountants weren't in charge and it will be well built.

Missed the key bit out! Petrol please, only do 8k a year. I’ve yet to own a diesel and I intend to keep it that way

It's got a little scuff on the rear bumper and a chip on the windscreen but nothing apart from that.

The original owner had it garaged for 22 years and the paintwork shows it, it's very clean.

Octavia vRS? The oldest ones are not far off shed territory now.

Contemplated selling it! Got seduced with shiny shiny.

Cant do it. Costs pennies to run. Makes sense to keep.
