are you specificly looking for one that doesnt need work? as in my book buying a cheap mk1 that needs minor work will work out cheaper and you will know the car better in terms of condition

I'm just fed up.. my wasted journey cost me in excess of £250 plus a wasted day. Up at 5am and didn't manage to get home until 4am the following day.

I think I will stick with my 964 and mk2 8v

Pretty sure that Mk1 belonged to a mate of mine and he sold it onto a guy from Central Scotland a while back.

Was a poo day for you.... but you obviously don't want a mk1 badly enough if one car is enough to knock the wind out of you.  :undecided:

Its the time issue too, I have a full time job where I work long shifts and also have recently set up http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Car-Accessory-Shop-NI as a part time business. No I'm not desperate for one but the red one appeared to tick all the boxes and I had a free weekend. I have a concours 1989 964 C4 in Guards red with cup wheels and teardrop mirrors. It will do.... just thought the Golf would have been nice.
