Hey from Kent
« on: 01 September 2008, 13:49 »
What's up? Hopefully getting a MK3 this weekend, some guy has it in his drive and it's starting to get overgrown, don't want to see it rust to bits so gonna offer to take it off his hands, give him a bit of cash.

First car, I'm 15 but I work as a mechanic and my dads letting me get it, he suggested buying it, he said he'd buy it too! For me to "do up" he means basically get it in a nice working order so he can use it as a run around, cause the Chrysler drinks petrol at 16mpg.

I really hope to get it. I was obsessed with getting an old Austin Mini to do up but they're too expensive now. Now I really want this car. If I don't get it, I'm gonna go searching for one.

I want to put angel eyes on it, and either smoked or LED tails on it. Maybe lower it I dunno.

It's a Driver, I think it's probably a 1.8 which means I won't be insuring that as a first car. Hopefully it's a smaller engine, if not I'll have to go on my dads insurance on it. He's gonna let me driveit round private places and stuff though, so thats cool.

Anyway, hi.  :wink:
