What's your favourite shed?

[Piepiepie]

We've all got out favourite expensive cars, but what do you always go on ebay for, set a £500 limit, and search for it as spares or repair?

For me, it's this every single time;

(Ideally in White)

Not the most popular PH car, but i think they age well, nice enough to drive and quite fun to work on. Just trying to find a decent enough cheap one with problems i can fix myself is sometimes a nightmare though

Sometimes if im feeling lucky, i'll search for the facelift :P

Pent roof, 8' x 6'.

The irony is, it would cost more than the Vectra to buy!

I absolutely hate those Vectras and think they drive like a sack of potatoes - the Mk2 Mondeo was a far superior car - but I cannot help thinking that they've really aged well. It doesnt yet look like a £500 car whereas sadly the Mk2 Mondeo absolutely does look like a £500 car.

I did buy a 500 quid shed once, a Saab 900NG and it was awesome, but the bearings went after less than 1000 miles. So I will put a picture up of it.

Mondeo - unbeatable daily snotter - in fact can't really understand why it wasn't called the Ford Snotter from birth.

Nissan Micra bubble shape everytime, the 1.0 16v is very nippy

Mk 2 Mondeo V6 Si or ST24. 4 doors without kits are insanely cheap.

Even more of a sleeper in Ghia X spec:

My Ghia X looked just like that. I loved that car. It was so cool...

.... back in 2004.

[Zwoelf]

No need to worry about "cool" below £500. Or ever really...

[McSam]

A year's MOT on that well-specced late Ghia X for a monkey? Awesome

I'm not sure that "when you put your foot down there as quick as any car", though

Dont you think they age really badly though?

I keep looking out for a V6 or 20V Quattro version at the right price.

But the 8x6 would probably outlast the winter.

I miss my old ZX Volcane. I put 100,000 miles on it in 3.5 years and the only non consumables it needed was a new power steering pump and rear brake balancing valves before the rear radius arm bearings went at 196000 miles.

Wiltshire constabulary even sent me a nice photo of it

So much metal for so little money

Of course, which is why they're dirt cheap. Although I admit that I do prefer this shape vastly to both its predecessor and successor.

When you consider that we're talking here about cars for which around a third or more of their inherent value is merely their weight as scrap metal, the usual niceties are rendered close to irrelevant.

Forget the Vectra, Omega is where its at. Love the old beasts.

They can turn into serious money pits though.

Had several V6's in the family and they've been very dependable. Just niggles such as leaking cam covers and suspension clunks.

Trouble is they are old and worth nothing now so finding a decent one is getting trickier.
