Look what's on Facebook's "Shed Of The Day" page



Haven't seen that for a while

My god is that still going Boot spoiler doesnt show in this picture,what a shame

Easily confused for a light aircraft parked behind it...

Are they anti-aircraft missiles in that, umm, thing hanging down below the bumper? (I could do with that here, it's snowing again.)

That used to belong to one someone on here, one of the original early members, can't remember who now.

Inspired by the film "Fast & Furious" I believe

Wasn't it a 1.8 Petrol or something?

Indeed.

big alloy wheels,

iwas about 27 then, thinking back now im going abit grey, ithink what the feck did ido all that sh*t for,
people do all this stuff because they like it, and then fade off back to the standard look,


so fair play to the younger ones for having a bash at modding isay,


(not meaning to sound harsh but its not realy looking good for the forum if we slag members cars off its it?

It's just human nature that people are judgmental & it's amazing how brave people can be with their opinions when hidden behind an anonymous ID & a keyboard. Everybody has the right to modify their cars to personalise them to their own tastes. After all, it is their property & their money.

I still get people now taking the p155 out of my "Dogging van", but it's 100% mine with no money owing on it.

But I have to be honest, I'd cringe if I had to drive that Fast & Furious 406 to work - you can hardly go unnoticed!

I just want to point out that nobody on here is slagging anybody (or their cars) off.

I agree that the generally slating attitude on that Farcebook page and on sites such as barryboys isn't very nice, but that's not what's going on here!!

Waaaay back when we started in... 2005 was it?, the owner of this particular example was a fairly active member on here, and quite a lot of good natured banter was passed at the time in reference to the car. No nastiness and no slagging. Unfortunately we had a forum crash in 2007 caused by some hacking bastard which means that the original threads about the car and owner are no longer available. "Pug406gtx" was a good lad, just had a misguided sense of style, that's all

The fact that this 'ere vehicle should now show up on Failbook, 8 years later, as "Shed of the day" just brought some fond memories flooding back which I thought some of the other oldies on here might like to share.

So if you weren't here at the time and therefore aren't aware of the history then please don't be so judgemental.

Is that a massive slart of bird muck down the bonnet?

yep well said Dai.......Duncan (pug406gtx) was a good lad, maybe try his email addy see if he still around, as you say, a car staying around 8 years or so after it was 'finished' by a former keeper and looking pretty much unchanged says something.....doesnt it ??
