Insurance cost about a grand mate. I've just put photos of the polo up in the photos section. I've got it so I can save up for something proper next year when I'm 21 and insurance drops.

Btw I also have a mk3 escort cabriolet with S1 engine, gearbox and bodykit which will hopefully be back on the road before summer is out!
