Not the first time a Rover has made it into 'shed of the week'.

cracking write up it get's too

gimme that shed any day of the week.

Living in an area where car thieves and chavs are rife I know for a fact nobody thinks of rover turbos as anything but brilliant....

Remember when I was about 14 every twoccers dream was the rover vitesse and all of them claimed to how amazingly fast beasts they were.


odd how the corsa driving, subaru and cosworth power spouting ignorant love to knock their real rival so often.

They had the vitesse as a shed of the week a few months back.

Does look like a nice one, i do like Ti's.

Ditto - and I've just told them so!

shed of the week yet the write up would make anyone go and buy one. WTF?

when they say shed i think they mean cheap as chips but worthy to own

Wiki says:

A shed is typically a simple, single-story structure in a back garden or on an allotment that is used for storage, hobbies, or as a workshop. The modern Oxford English Dictionary (OED) defines sheds as a "slight structure built for shelter or storage, or for use as a workshop, either attached as a lean-to to a permanent building or separate; often with open front or sides."[1]

Sheds vary considerably in the complexity of their construction and their size, from small open-sided tin-roofed structures to large wood-framed sheds with shingled roofs, windows, and electrical outlets. Sheds used on farms or in industry can be large structures.

So, I supose it is sort of true. The 600 is of single story construction, it provides shelter, it can be used for storage and be your hobby. Sometimes found in backgardens too.

It has a tin roof, windows and electrical outlets (fag lighter).

But I always considered the word Shed when used to describe a car meant it was crap, a pile of shate, a box of crud etc.

Anyhow, W/E it's a nice looking TI.

ah, still, not so great title

'Shed' in Barry-lingo means dustbin on wheels, unstylish and generally cheaply modded. 'Shed' in this instance seems to mean more of a bargain car.

I once knew someone whose car was a Barry 'shed' but after he spent decent dosh on it, a mutual friend of ours graced it by referring to it a a 'summer house'.
