cheers 8bit ye you know, so glad finally got one, the mileage is a bit high but it seems to have a hefty service history so I really want to look after it to keep it going well for as long as poss, keep those high mileage problems at bay.

Mileage is only really a problem if the car hasn't been serviced and cared for properly. Service history tells you one story, good chance if it's been properly serviced then the owner(s) will have treated it with enough mechanical sympathy. Enjoy, looking forward to your progress :)

Yeah but you know you will love it out on the slopes. I do a bit of boarding, but been a few years since I went out onto a mountain. Just make do with the occasional go at Hemel Snow Centre. Obviously not the same, but fun none the less.

Where are you headed to?

Im out here at the mo. Its fun but not as fun as being behind my LCR's wheel and doesnt make me smile anywhere as much as seeing my baby in the flesh let alone seeing her after the £500 i could have spent on her. Im being proper tight so i can bring as much back as poss.

Im not a holiday person, im 20 i want toys to flash about now! I can waste money on holidays later in life.

Bit of a petrolhead :)
