well seeing as the sports going to be laid up over winter while i attempt to get a few little bits done i've been on the look out for another car to use,

well after looking at more lemons than the fruit aisle in tesco, i found a decent car,

it's a 56 plate VW jetta 2L fsi, yes a VW!!!

went to have a look at it yesterday, seller seemed to be honest enough, the car lloked good in the pics & even better in the flesh/metal,

it has a 6 speed box, full black leather, cruise control, working A/C, anti glare mirror, & little lights under the wing mirrors when you unlock the car.

the seller told me had had the car ceramic coated the other week (just before he chose to put it up for sale), safe to say the general condition of it tells me he looked after it,

took it for a test drive round the block, all good, paid a deposit & i'm picking it up tomorrow afternoon,

the (original) idea was to leave it stock but that looks to be going out the window already :roll:
got my eye on a black mk5 golf gti badgless grill & a few other bits,

once council always council.

really looking forward to collecting it tomorrow.

best bit is the fact that the "market" value is/was £1900 & i got it for £850 :D

Cars always drive and feel better, when you get one for a good price!
