Default My new car!
Just done a deal for this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

What do people think? Obviously my dreams have whittled away with a realisation my budget was never gonna be what I wanted

Plus I wanted RWD and something comfy that would last me a year easily if looked after and would be nice to drive.

I was looking for one with the M3 spoiler and some nicer alloys tbh but then I saw this and thought that at that money, with less than 120k and FSH I'd be a fool to pass it up as it's more important to get a car that's solid and straight than one that has the cosmetic trimmings that can be added anytime.

What do you mean?

Don't worry, I get it!

I just woke up one day last week and thought it was time to get real, I guess.
