Al, seriously that is a very generous offer. I would definitly take you up on it, but my friend has just got a new job right by his house so is lending me his 1.0 polo for a bit. Im not going to rush to buy a new car, as im in quite a good position now.

Haggy as G'bread man says up to 14k really. I have been through auto trader and PH and picked all of the cars to peices for one reason or another. I know as soon as i buy one, a perfect one will come along the week after.

The only conditions are really, leather and xenons definites, not boring old man blue, lower mileage the better. There is a black one with grey leather on Autotrader, but it is from some massive used car place near London which looks fairly dodgy.

New car has been bought. I drove to Kent tonight in my mates 1.0 Polo. I just sat in the slow lane the whole way there and it only cost me about £10 in fuel. I wish i didnt like cars sometimes, so i could be happy with a car like that.

Anyway, the car i have bought is spot on. The guy was waiting with the garage door open and the car under a cover, always a good start even if it was just for show. He still had the power buffer out on the drive from his afternoons cleanig session. So we went out for a spin and the deal was done.

Picking it up next week hopefully if he gets the private plate swapped and the log book back from the DVLA. I won't say what it is for now, i will post some decent photos when i get it. The ones he has taken dont do it justice.

Cheers for all the advice and kind offers of cars to see me through.

Jim (with a nig smile)
