Thanks jv, well i brought my mk4 just over 6 months ago with 165000 miles on the clock fsh and only 1 owner from new! the only real downside is the paintwork is not the best but other then that it is a good car!
so this is how i picked it up from bristol, caught the train up with my 15month old daughter which was hard work!
