We are going off the beaten track a bit in Spain in a couple of months, so picked this shed up to allow a little more ground clearance. Also useful if any of Puggit’s snow forecasts materialise 
Ferries booked to Bilbao and all set for a nice 800km drive down to Alicante region where a villa awaits us.

I bought this last april because I wanted something a bit more interesting in the garage and I'm still over the moon with it. I always drive it roof down...but I will admit that I'm looking forward to some warmer weather again.
I really fancied another TVR initially...but I didn't quite have the bottle after my last one though sadly.

Picked this up at Easter last year, hands down the most complete car I've owned - 2006 Toyota Crown Athlete. Already done a Europe trip in it where it was just brilliant, hopefully can do a few more. Replaced my Skyline which I thought was going to be impossible but I think I prefer it

My friend picked up a relatively fresh import Crown before Christmas. Tremendous car but smaller inside than I thought they would be! I can confirm that they shift, too. Kept fairly close to my tuned 335i whilst having a wee play.Ritchie335is said:
How are you getting on with yours so far? The only issue with mine (I've been told) is that both front windows won't work, hopefully this will be an easy fix.
I've heard the scuttle shake on them is quite bad.
A universal electric aerial would be the cheap answer to your problem, getting into get it replaced might be tricky though.
I fixed the aerial with a new mast which was simple and cheap and replaced the remote case as it was badly cracked. Other than a scraped and slightly loose rear bumper on one side she seems fine. Yes the scuttle shake is noticeable but not that bad but I have not really driven it on rough roads yet I've heard the scuttle shake on them is quite bad.

Picked this up a couple of weeks ago. 2014, 5 door Swift Sport with 49k on the clock. Replacing a Panda 100HP and Citroen C2, neither of which were much fun on a longer journey.
Wow thats weird, a week ago we got a 2014 5 door blue swift sport with 48k miles off a friend of mine for a very nice price on the understanding it needed a back tyre and MOT is due in April.
te comes across this thread, it'll take a week to view all the pictures!

That is lovely !!! More info please I bought this last year, picked it up on my birthday
It's fairly low mileage 39K and I've had all the issues rectified (that hurt). Last week I put an x-pipe on it at Infinity Exhausts. It sounds lovely now.
I wanted to experience a V8 before they go away so small car/big engine did the trick for me !
