Some may have seen i binned my old rover heap after swerving to miss a deer a few weeks ago.......

family friend came to the rescue to sell me a '99 polo for free,i got it T&T and sorted any niggles

was thinking of euro'ing it but the bodywork was poo & only undamaged panel was the tailgate, and the engine had 2 seperate oil leaks and slipping clutch

then 2days ago, pull up at work SNAP! there goes the clutch cable on the polo "Bollocks!!"........

so decided "fuck this" and have got a loan for a nice decent car and im going to see one tomorrow , will have pics up if i buy it, but not telling wot it is incase i dont get it

cheers

just had enough of scrapper run-arounds, actually getting a decent reliable nice looking car this time

since december after i sold my C i have had;

fiat cinquento- sold to me for free, had stood for a year- 3months(forgot antifreeze- engine water froze-blew up)
rover 416lsi- ugly boxy but had a decent honda 1.6 lump- 4months(deer avoidance finished that off)
polo 1.4 cl- again sold to me for free to help me out- 3weeks (clutch cable snap- not worth pouring money into)
