Forgive my ignorance here - been out the country for too long. What's the procedure for these council garages? Any criteria to be met etc? I'd be well up for one or more. Then I can justify buying something utterly stupid.

Well I just phoned the guy at the housing association (the council by another "independent" name), and asked them. They sent me a short form, all you do is list what you want to put in ('old car tat') and tick the box saying you won't use it for commercial use or be a pain in the arse, return the form and collect some keys.

You just apply for one I think. They are only supposed to be for storage and there will be a list of rules as long as your arm but they are unlikely to be enforced if you keep a low profile and pay the rent. I'm not sure if you have to be a local resident but it shouldn't be too hard to get somebody else to apply for you.

The Miafiore has a bit of rust, but my Dad's one had way more rust than that in 1984 when he changed to a Carina II.

Same for me. Plus when the neighbours saw me "moving in" they were sure to reinforce those points too. :rolleyes:

Crikey this sounds like a good prospect - the optional 5-speed manual, tax and test, cambelt done, not rotten, just needs a few bits of paint by the sounds of it. £795! Sounds ace to me. I bet those 2300 ones are a nice enough compromise between power/fuel economy, especially with a 5-speed box.

Mine was a 2.3 and it was pretty heavy on fuel. They don't actually go bad at all but I guess you're working the engine that bit harder that it guzzles more than it should.
I thinnk the 5 speed is stock on series 2 cars. I know series 1 2300's were 4 speed and I think they didn't get PAS either!

I reckon the 2600S is the SD1 of choice. No thirstier than the 2300 and, with a manual box, snapping at the heels of a standard V8 in terms of performance. Sound nice too, and apparently more robust than the 2.3.

I had a 2600SE and it was worse on fuel than my much missed Vitesse.That straight six lump is abysmal. V8 is the only way to have an SD1.

I watched an episode of the Sweeney tonight, there was a D-Series Ford truck a Luton Transit with the big arrow, a Mk 1 transit library van type thing, an 02 BMW, one of those old Audi wagons with the twin headlamps and of course a six cylinder Granny.
It was shitetastic.

It always amuses me that e46s vie with the PT Cruiser as the car that's too shit for Autoshite,

If it stayed very cheap the purchase price could probably be offset by using VW scene tax applied to those wheels. :wink:
