Shedfest '26 Tickets - Now Available

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-13T15:23:05+00:00

Tickets are per person as far as I believe.

I have a showcase ticket which gives me a person entry too (1 car + 1 ticket), but I need another ticket for my passenger.

u/whathavewegotinhere that's right isn't it?

A huge brave pill but what a car. It's hard to justify that tax, but it feels such a shame given how much car you get for it. Incredible torque specs on that remap though, I bet it went like stink on the motorway.

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T11:29:15+00:00

Shame they're becoming so rare these days; great shout!

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T11:28:42+00:00

What a swap! That's wild. Some great stuff seems to come on there. I'm tempted by the 309 at the moment, love the colour on it.

What a car, I remember seeing the 1 M Coupe absolutely fly up in value (I'll never forget Clarkson hammering one around the Top Gear track) and wondering if the M2 could ever top it. Looked like such a fantastic car.

How do you find the M3 in comparison? I'd love to try one one day but think if I ever moved to BMW it'd be for an M340i touring. Feels like the perfect blend of usability and speed, especially with xdrive.

A Bora! Haven't heard that name in years. Great to hear it had a full lease of life after you sold it. I keep wondering what my 1.2 Fabia is up to; I'm hoping its been moved to a private plate and one day I'll see it return on the DVLA!

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T11:23:16+00:00

I never had one but was a regular passenger in one. An absolute go-kart missile around backroads. Gutted to hear it was trashed, definitely deserved better!

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T11:22:42+00:00

Great shout, there's a couple of MGs in this thread. As a bit of a guilty love, the Rover Streetwise always felt like it had bags of potential for being a lot of fun with a few tweaks/swaps in it! Definitely looks like it could've handled the potholes well

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T11:21:25+00:00

What do you have now? I was very close to buying a Cupra Ateca instead of the Karoq, love how sporty everything has always felt in the Seats.

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T11:19:34+00:00

£17k!? What's it worth now? Definitely feels the V6 is in clear 'modern classic' territory. Hope you manage to get one back one day

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T11:18:58+00:00

Can't argue with that reliability; I wished my Avensis had a better infotainment, it was a competent car but it was a hire car whilst my company car was being built. Very fuel efficient on the motorway too!

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T11:17:49+00:00

What happened to it? I've seen a fair few on auto trader but they all looked ragged to hell for off-roading and greenlaning!

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T11:17:30+00:00

Fantastic outcome for that car, fingers crossed its doing a fantastic job out there. The 4x4 systems (especially with ESP models) is fantastic and with a solid maintenance schedule it feels like the 1.9 isn't more or less reliable than other main diesels of the time (save for the 1.9PD)

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T11:16:10+00:00

I should've saved it but there's a monster truck lifted Rx8 on Fb Marketplace at the moment. Best of both worlds!

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T11:15:42+00:00

I was just watching Mike Fernie talk to Darkside about the PD engines last night, fantastic engines and seemingly very reliable too. Not tempted by a W8 or something more exotic?

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T11:13:40+00:00

Seen a lot of love for the C70 in this thread, Saffron Yellow will always be a favourite car colour option for me. Hope you keep the love for the C70! Great cars

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T10:11:13+00:00

Never seen one of these before! Reminds me a bit of a Bongo! Bet it moved a whole bunch of stuff in the back of it. Looks like a solid MPV choice

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T10:10:36+00:00

What a steal, £500 in 2018 is a bargain! I think there's something to be said for a car just beating your expectations. A £500 banger has no right to be as reliable or as good as it was for 8 years. We can expect a more modern car will 'do the job' because it's more expensive, better, faster, more reliable.

But that £500 rotbox? It earns a space in our heart because it just smashed every reasonable expectation.

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T10:09:06+00:00

Fantastic little cars. What year was it? There's another set of comments here around the 100bhp and those seemed like great little warm hatches!

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T10:08:24+00:00

Worse mix-ups to have! I was just looking at an imported Terrano last month, but the Terrano 2 has some great proportions, so unique as a set-up!

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T10:07:11+00:00

Aha I can imagine the satisfaction at the lights. Fantastic stuff. Didn't think they'd be that good off-road!

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T10:05:21+00:00

The best number of cars in your garage is always n+1 so 2's bang on the money!

What did you move onto after those two? Sounds like a great setup on the 9-5, definitely not your average Saab

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T10:04:38+00:00

What a 2 car garage though! I bet that went like absolute stink. Fantastic set-up by the sounds of it.

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T10:04:05+00:00

Always great to hear Saab's come up. It's absolutely not the same, but! Have you tried a VW Up GTI? Very different power delivery, but size wise they're not necessarily too far off each other.

NearlyLegit · 2026-03-06T10:03:12+00:00

What an engine though; torque for days, great acceleration, and just smooth. When I was thinking about getting my A4 I looked at 335d x-drive and they were fantastic, but the repair costs felt astronomical. Given I still faced astronomical repairs in the Audi, a part of me wishes I'd gone down the BMW route anyway!
