Keeping it now I've calmed down a little. A half decent replacement would cost 20k and a good car would be 30k plus :sad:

Got it towed 172km the other day and currently waiting on a new water pump, 2 idler pulleys and a belt. God knows how long they will take to come. You don't get express delivery over here.

Not aloud too, you have to own the car for 12 months to be able to bring it into the country. Otherwise,you have to a stupid amount of tax and try and get it registered.

If I had more notice of me coming over I would have bought a high end BMW or Porsche and made 6x what it costs in the uk
