Ouch 15k mind you less than a new mk5 bog standard so if you think like that he's got a good deal that golf is drool worthy!

[[han]]

the things donated are from a car my uncle was scrappin, my cousin stripped it first so i got what was left  i'm so hard done to!

and btw just because im blonde and female doesn't get me anywhere, im a fighter in this world as much as the guys are! trust me! my attempt so far at my car is sending my dad out to buy me a haynes.... got thre haynes and the max power haynes now... not done anything though... building up courage....  i just don't want to break a nail! 

gtijoe - think you better take a girly to the scrappy with you... these new trendy BIG handbags r great!!! lol

as for spending money on dubs.. i think its great... (when i get mine started./.. still decidin what to do) you could be spending the money on drugs and being a no hoper in life... i'd rather drive a decent car that die with loadsa money in the bank.. i earn it, i spend it.... shoes, handbags, cars... the lot!

if my dad see's this im being sensible with my money  (the only reason i bought the golf was to prove how grown up i am... fed up of being called a child by him!.... and that showed him!!)

woohoo... i love cars.....
