Who owns a TVR and a shed?

[sidpinup]

All/most of us on here will have a TVR but who also owns a shed? i.e. an older car worth not much, less than £2k. I'll start;

Tamora and BMW 728i (2001)

[angry jock]

When I had my Griff 500, I had an Alfa 166 3.0V6 Super Lusso and now I have my Griff 430 I have an MG ZT CDTi. Both snotters well below £2K.

[bobbins]

Yep. Have had a Citroen ZX turbo diesel and Fiat Seicento Sporting, now got a Puma.

Good way to drive fun retro cars while keeping the special occasion of the TVR everytime you get in it. Wouldn't want one as a day-to-day car, 15 years ago I had an Integrale which lost its novelty because I was using it every day.

I thought you meant one of these

according to my wife, the TVR is a shed

Some days i wish i did have a shed, i could bury her under it

I have a company car alongside the Tuscan now, makes ownership of the tuscan far easier

I like it !!

I'm usually popping about in my old JTD Stilo 2002 a keeper until it pop's, does school run/shopper/dog walking tool.

Cerb for hacking around Cotwolds/Forest of Dean & Somerset every time!

Broken Volvo V70 T5
Unsellable MGZS180
The current daily Mazda 323f sport

That is a nice shed....every man should have one.

[haircutmike]

Chim+2001 TD5 Disco.

Also use a 2002 BMW 320D, too good to be a shed, more of a cheap summer house!

[Terrence79]

To go with my S Series I have a 97 BMW 318 which sits on the street outside my house for weeks on end until I go mtb'ing (I'd get rid of it but it's sails through its mot's every year and I bike to work so doesn't get enough use to warrant me buying nicer everyday car)

And a Manta Gte coupe part stripped at my folks awaiting a repaint (and the v8 installing that currently resides in my dinning room!!)

[big_treacle]

Yeah I have a '92 mk1 MX5 as runabout/commuter alongside my Cerb. Before the mx I had an '89 Merc SEC which was a shed by the time I'd finished with it.

[PoleDriver]

My stable now comprises:-
1998 Cerbera 4.5V8
1986 450i Wedge
1993 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 GLS

Just for a laugh, one of my disco sheds parking on a proper shed.

What have you got against his missus?

[kris450]

Guilty

2000 Chim 450
1994 Toyota Corolla Saloon (aka the Tokyo Taxi or Beast from the East as my mates call it)

Someone before me (and I have no idea why) decided to import it from Japan in 2003. Everything is in Japanese. Service history, Manual, old MOTs (at least I think they're some kind of yearly check), warning signs in the car, everything. It has almost no optional extras as far as I can see and it cost me a grand total of £500.

And I love it. Its 2 Ltrs of solid, cheap, reliable, diesel motoring.

+1, I'm having shed envy

For me this would be a better post if it really was about sheds & home workshops.

I went from a huge fully equiped workshop with three benches, a 4 tonn press, a four post wheel free ramp, 3 phase on tap, a lathe, a pillar drill, a milling machine ect ect ect.

To a minute council lockup with no power that's just about big enough to squeeze the Tiv in.

You got to love living inside the M25

[pmessling]

I have a jeep grand cherokee 4.7, coming up to 115k, still a good car perfect for the snowy winters we've had of late. more a daily driver until i get my cerbera back together, then going to use that

[pincher]

Want. Those. Ramps.

Oh yeah - I have a 1999 450 Chim and a 2002 E39 530i. Love both but can see the TVR going before the BMW.
