just go for the mk2 if its what you really want as you might not get another chance so if you want it an can afford it go for it  :smiley: an shop around for insurance
:grin: :evil: your only young once sensible replies i.e start off with a pov spec car etc but if you really want a mk2 and who wouldn't  :wink: go for it

In reply to Len; No, I am not actually married :')

It really is a case of what I want and what I probably need?
I'm going to a mini club meet this Saturday to further discuss ownership... anyone know of any golf meets in the Derbyshire area???

But have a good read of the Mk2 Section here, the buyers guide etc.

Get a MK2 1.3 for a first car, keep insurance down and build up NCD. That's what I did.
