Title: And the mk2 now has a new home
Post by: the_stink on 12 August 2011, 12:58
New owner picked up the car today was a bit of fun trying to get to work from the train station to work in 15mins

but will be interesting to see what they do with  it as I know they have got some plans for it so better than a garage taking and just doing what ever it is garages do with 20yr old cars!

Picking up the Aldi A3 tomorrow and have joined the Darkside  :smiley:

And the other benefit is i can clear £700 of my overdraft!!!

Was sad to see it drive away, but the finance is only over 2.5 yrs so not too bad and I can afford it
