Suggestion for new weekly article

[StuartHP]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but one of my favourite things on Piston Heads is shed of the week and spend most of my time on here looking at cars for sale to day dream about what i may go for next. Think most of us would enjoy reading and arguing about the best cars for say £5000 and £10000 in the classified ads each week as much as the current shed £1000 category...thoughts appreciated!

Hi Stuart,

This is a discussion we are frequently having too! We always have to be wary of promoting too much in the way of classifieds based content, but if there's appetite for something regular at a set price point then we'll certainly consider it.

Cheers!

Good idea.

Also, have you seen the smoker barge thread? Granted it's not hot hatches but it's a great read all the same. There's also an eBay classics thread.

Exactly what I was going to post. Compelling reading

SOTW was the first article that caught my eye on Pistonheads. It led me to start reading the comments so I joined the forum. I found the 1-5 thread, accidentally purchased a W124, and the rest is history (ie much time wasted here).

I would welcome more classified based news items. I would guess that the PH classified marketing machine is more targeted at the middle to top end (to drive results to dealers where I guess the lion's share of the revenue comes from!), but more low/mid range articles could normalise using PH classifieds and drive usage at all pricepoints.

I'm an enthusiastic poster on the threads mentioned above but normally go to Autotrader/Ebay/Carandclassic through force of habit - educate us all to remember to look on PH classifieds and this will permeate throughout the site over the years.

I was looking at a Fiesta and the insurance for the 300E was cheaper OK?

£1,250 purchase price. 'Improvement bills' of £4.5k excluding what I get when I go and collect it next week

Thanks for the suggestion, hadn't spotted them so going to waste some more time looking there too!
