shed

I found a suitable car for sale at Peter Vardy BMW, Edinburgh that I liked the look of. Don't hate me, but the world of rust, shut off motors, engine bearings, 7g and breakdowns isn't for me. 320d Msport. 2008 Auto. Dark grey, auto gears and cloth seats. Perfect, if at 45k 10k miles more than...

Now I have her back I thought I would take her for a Sunday morning drive. I felt apprehensive about going to far in case she broke down, but I did a little tour of the area (averaged 27mpg but I did spank her) and got myself re-acquainted with her. Still not a fan of 7g at low speed but do...

PistonHeads Headlines - SOTW: Mercedes 230TE

Since having cars drive side resprayed due to some b***tard scraping it and then two weeks later some bright spark pulled into her as I was overtaking (and its still not resolved with the insurers, they have gone legal with the other party) I have not taken the time to wash, wax or clay the shed...

After three weeks of it being away at a "Mercedes approved repairer" I have her back. I was provided with a Peugeot 207 loan car. It was adequate as an A to B device and although hateful, got me to and from work. It was noisy and uncomfortable but strangely for a small cheap car, had excellent...

As I was off work today as was my cousin we felt a spot of driving and luncheon was in order, despite the looting 200 miles plus away from us and the weather.... Life goes on and all that. We left from Helensburgh in his Subaru impreza, of which I have wrote about previously. Onto Inverarry...

As said in the post I treated the shed to a "detailing". I washed the car, including the wheels. Not being a detailer a jetwash/hose was done, not the two bucket method. I did the heinous thing of buying products in Halfords too :rolleyes: The car was clayed and used meguirs clay lube. I...

This is a follow on thread in which I will journal my progress with 'the shed'. My 1998 C250 TD Elegance Auto Estate bought for peanuts as a non runner. First update: Like any good surgeon, start with a scrub up. So at 7:30am this morning the shed had what seems to be its first wash in many...

On may way to work (about 8:40) I believe I made an error of judgement. On the A82 the speed limit drops to 50mph as it enters Clydebank. I had dropped to that limit, but not below it. I may well have been travelling too fast for the conditions I was about to encounter. There had been snow...

Howard, we'll need your "My Eyes" picture :eek: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-MERCEDES-Coupe-E320-AUTO-BLUE-Full-leather-FSH_W0QQitemZ290239859335QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item290239859335&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

There are many rallys out there which invlove a £100 car/shed driven 2000 miles to some far off country. Has anyone done it? Does anyone fancy doing it? I really want to do one one day in a 124 estate. Maybe we could have a forum sponsored car?

Or not so shed is..... http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=16227

I levelled the soil, threw two bags of gravel on the ground then topped it with sharp sand then put 12 flags on it (4 flags by 3 flags). The shed blokes came to fit the shed (6x4ft) and it's like the Leaning Tower of Pisa :D Can anyone tell me the best way to get it back level again ...

1999 E55..spent 87 years contemplating whether to buy one due to size of engine etc etc but have filled up after 150 miles twice now at an average of 23.2mpg. i was stood at shell sobbing like a child out of happiness. ive had a impreza doing around 22 and an alfa doing 20! great great car..:)

This thing has been parked outside my house for the last few days. :mad: I think it may have been abandoned . . . :crazy: :eek: Notice the quality wheels ;) and tri-color body panels.

Just thought I would share my happiness around a little. The shed (see Classifieds) is going. Just bought Kikkthekats Coupe (Many many thanks Ray) Pics will be posted very soon.

Hours of mirth here at automotive Chavdom but at times it dives really deep into the sad and pathetic. Never mind, part of the rich freak show that is life and we can scoff because none of our mods are that bad. Err..... http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=12

Thanks to Lotusmark2 the shed now has some rather nice boots :D
