hehe no mate it is dead serious.

I need to pay for a mortgage. The polo has 27k miles since new, one old lady owner. It'll need a few things done to it like brakes coilovers carbs and a new exhaust, but I have a budget of 2k and it cost 800 so not too bad. Sorry to bail on you guys, I was looking at seats, but I could turn around and sell this baby with the VW scene tax and make £400 tomorrow. It's got a reciept for every tank of petrol ffs!
Great little cars, although Mk3 Polo ownership can be a bit of a 'culture shock': its door seals won't leak; there'll be no probs with the ignition; its rear wiper motor won't need replacing after 5 mins, due to leaks; there'll be a complete lack of squeaks & rattles from inside the cabin; some poxy wee bolt that can render the clutch kaput won't snap; no iffy fuses that'll kill the cooling-fan's activation; & the rear brake discs (drums?) are not made of recycled Lancia Beta saloons' subframes.

Any sarcastic reference to current VW Group (lack of) build-quality & engineering integrity is purely intentional. [:@]

oooh kaaay that was a touch on the bitter side!

I will miss some of the mod cons - like ac, lekky windows, central locking, tachometer lol

and the brakes are actually made of chocolate

but there's very little to go wrong and what does can be fixed with duct tape and a hammer

roll on the new era, I'm strangely looking forward to it

Well, I just watched Leona drive off for the last time.

Sadly I feel she is going to a questionable home where she will no doubt be abused.

Here she was a few hours before she drove off:

yeah I guess, he talked me down a lot but I ended up with 7600 for her so I could've done worse.

To be honest I think I could have got 8 if I held out for the right buyer, but I saw the cash and thought about how much I wanted new wheels and tyres on the polo for springfest and the rest is history...

Mate the car really was stunning today, no wonder they scooped it up. They got a right catch there. Look forward to the new build thread yeah :whistle:

Yeah you guys'll meet the beast on Sunday and realise how well I've come out of this with a large amount of cash in my pocket and a lovely car.

Don't get me wrong I will seriously miss the LCR, but she never made me smile quite as wide as the Polo does.

Just bought some G60 steelies and some 195/45/15 Toyo Proxes T1Rs :funk:
